Suggest Treatment For Allergic Skin Rashes On The Eyes And Lips

My 17 year old son has severe hives for 4 days now. On day 2 angieodema (eyes and lips swollen bad). Last night started coughing and complain about throat pain. He is on prednisone, dazit 5 mg and klarithan 500 mg. Anything else that I can do or give for relief?

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of allergic skin rashes on the eyes and lips which seems to be due to angioedema and because of herpes simplex virus infection as it attacks once immunity of body is poor. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to visit dermatologist or oral physician once and get it examined properly. Go for skin allergy testing to find proper diagnosis. Start with antiviral and steroid eye drops combination is very effective for subsiding lesions. Apply lip balm to keep it moisturized always. Apply Zovirax ointment on these rashes and drink plenty of fluids. Ice pack will give immediate effects. Take multivitamin tablet rich in vitamin B12.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
