Any Suggestion For Extreme Itchiness In Hands/feet Even After Medication For Mono?
My daughter was diagnosed with mono on Sunday (it s now Wednesday). She had hot, itchy skin all over her body (which actually caused us to go to the hospital). The doctor diagnosed her condition as mono and prescribed Hydroxyzine for her itchy skin. The doctor said the itchiness would go away in a couple of days but she s still experiencing extreme itchiness in her hands and feet. The meds work for a short period of time, but she gets up several times during the night with unbearable pain/itchiness in her hands/feet. What can we do about this?
I recommend you to apply Cortisone cream on the affected areas along with tablet Hydroxyzine 10 mg.
