Have Atrial Fib, Suffering From A Severe Allergic Reaction From Exposure To Chiggers, Intense Itchiness. Cure?
I have atrial fib but am suffering from a severe allergic reaction from exposure to chiggers (large, spread out red bump about the with of a quarter or larger, with a weeping center pin hole) after wading in a lake in Minnesota. Topical treatments are not cutting it and I am becoming more and more uptight from the relentless and intense itchiness. Can I take plain fexofenadine in a low dose to try inhibit histamine production?

if you want can add montelucast 5 mg od or bd to get more results
