What Causes Severe Itching In The Whole Body Post Deviated Septum Surgery?
I had deviated septum surgery on Thursday. Since that time I have been itching excessively. Not only my my nose but my whole body. It is maddening! I assume that this is an allergic reaction. I have a sulfa allergy. They prescribed hydocodene and an antibiotic. Both of which I have had before. Any ideas?

Hi!! According to your history it seems to be a case of allergic reaction to the medicines prescribed to you. You can develop allergic reaction at any time despite having that medicine previously. You should ask your doctor to change the medicines and put you on antihistaminics like levocetrizine and topical steroid like clobetasol propionate cream. This will surely help you.
