Need Medication For Itching & Red Rashes On Left Arm
Hi..I am 33 weeks pregnant and suddenly developed itching and red rashes on my left arm. Today it has spread to my left cheek a little bit and it is red. Can I take the drug avil? It is not Advil, but an anti allergy medicine that I would take before pregnancy if I had rashes. It makes one sleepy

Hi dear and thanks for your query.
First-generation antihistamines or sedating are considered safe to use during pregnancy.
There are relatively fewer data on the nonsedating second-generation antihistamines; however, published studies are reassuring.
Yes you can use antiallergy medicine in this age of pregnancy.
All the best
