What Causes Facial Redness And Ear Itching Post Intake Of Food?

For the past couple weeks, I've noticed that after I eat that my face turns red (similar to having small hives), as do my ears and they itch. I haven't changed anything in my diet. It can last for an hour or longer, but eating does cause it to flare back up. Any thoughts?

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain facial redness and ear itching after eating and formation of hives is an indication of allergic reaction and there is a possibility that you are eating a common ingredient everytime that is causing reaction..
As of now you can take anti allergics like Benadryl to relieve the symptoms of itching and hives..
As it is recurring you should get ruled out for the cause of the reaction..
Consult an Allergist and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and allergy tests can help in diagnosis and treatment can be done accordingly..
You can be advised to avoid the intake of allergen once it is ruled out..
If there is accidental exposure occurs taking anti allergics can resolve the symptoms..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
