Experienced pricking, itchiness and swelling on both palms. Conditions persisted after taking medicines for allergic reaction
Patient: My daughter who is 16 told me the other day she experienced some prickling and tingling on both palms and the wrist . She also complained of itchiness and became panicky. At first look her palms were a little swollen but later that disappeared and I thought she had an allergy reaction and gave her Loratadine and Antarax each, but the episode persisted. What to do? Doctor: Hello. Thanks for writing to us. The symptoms your daughter is having could be related to an allergic reaction or vitamin B complex deficiency or electrolyte disturbances. Giving her adequate supplements and a healthy diet will take care of the symptoms in few days. I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
