I also started to break out in hives. What can I take to relieve the symptoms.? I am also an asthmatic so I take singular daily. Is there anything over the counter.? Thanks in advance.Health Question & Answer


Answers:
I would suggest informing your doctor about this reaction, especially since your throat was swelling. He may need to prescribe you an epinephrine injection to carry with you in case you have a serious allergic reaction (anaphylactic shock).

My son is allergic to fish, and when he eats it, he begins to clear his throat, and start scratching his neck area. He also breaks out in whelps too. His pediatrician gave us an epi-pen to carry with us just in case his airway closes up.

Sometimes, he just will have an allergic reaction, and start itching and sneezing. We just give him Benadryl. You can buy it over the counter. I hope this helps out. Take care, and feel better. Health Question & Answer

Definitely tell your doctor. and Benadryl is probably the best OTC thing i can think of. im on prescription antihistamines so i don't really know. but i totally back up the epi-pen game. im on singulair as well for asthma and i don't think there are any med resrtictions other than MAOI'sHealth Question & Answer

Let your doctor know. Benadryl should help, unless you are allergic to Benadryl.Health Question & Answer
