Suggest Medication For Bug Bites Which Is Causing Itching
I seem to have picked up bug bites while hiking, chigger I believe....the itching is driving me insane, I tried the lotions...ebsome salt bath and taking some benidril seeking relief.....thinking maybe a steroid. Shot might work as it does for poison. Ivy
I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..
As per your complain it seems that there is severe allergic reaction to any bug bite leading to severe itching and when reaction is severe it might not resolve immediately with anti allergics..
You need to consult an Allergist and get evaluated and he can advise you injection of steroid and anti-allergics to relieve allergy symptoms.. You can also be advised to take Oral anti-allergics and steroids.. Doing cold comy and apply Steroid ointment over the itchy area or over the bites can relieve.. You can also apply Calamine lotion..
Hope this information helps..
Thanks and regards. Dr.Honey Nandwani Arora.
