What Causes Severe Itching And Rashes On The Body After Receiving Pneumococcal Vaccine?
I had a severe itching and some rash after my pneumonia shot (prevalchar) in October. Since I was going out of the country 9 days later, I went back to see a doctor in the same practice and again a few days later. Long story, short, they treated it as a normal rash. I am still having moderate to severe itching over most of my body 73 days later. What should I do? Thx

Hi,
Pneumonia short can not result in such problem that to so late. You can take tab Levocetrizine and apply Caladryl lotion. Consult dermatologist for examination and advise on treatment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Ashok Kumar Dash
