Extremely itchy welts, stuffy nose, itchy throat, cough. On cytoxin treatments. Using protopin for itchy face. Help
Patient: I am using protopin for skin itching on my face.  I am currently getting monthly cytoxin treatments and my allergies have gone crazy.  I now am getting welts that itch extremely bad and stuffy nose, sneezing, coughing, itchy throat and ears but the itching is the worst.  What can I take or do for some relief, its driving me insane!!! Doctor: Hello,Thanks for posting your query,For immediate relief on severe allergic situations, you might require injectable forms of antihistamines ( a few couple administered) or steroids. When treating my patients, I usually administered them antihistaminic agents such as promethazine or give them injections of steroids such as dexamethasone or betamethasone. Most patients usually get relief after a few shots. I suggest you to the ER as soon as possible so a doctor can review you and provide you with appropriate medications. Best wishes
