I'm experiencing skin itching all over my body whenever I eat meat, fish, or eggs. There aren't any rashes, but it seems to happen in different areas like my leg, chin, and hands at different times. Could this be an allergy or something else I should be worried about?

It sounds like you may be experiencing food allergies that are manifesting as skin itching. To help alleviate your symptoms, you can try taking an antihistamine such as Cetirizine 10mg once daily. Additionally, you can apply a soothing lotion like Calamine lotion on the affected areas to help with the itching. Make sure to avoid consuming meat, fish, and eggs to prevent further allergic reactions.

I've been dealing with this allergic problem for the past couple of years, and it's been pretty frustrating. I take medication, and it seems to go away for a while, but then it's back. Recently, my doctor suggested I try acebrophylline. I'm a bit unsure about it. Should I go ahead with it, or maybe get a second opinion from another doctor?

Acebrophylline is commonly prescribed for managing respiratory allergies and asthma. If your symptoms persist despite treatment, its wise to follow up with your current doctor or seek a second opinion for a tailored long-term allergy management plan.

I've been having a really tough time sleeping because my nostrils keep getting blocked, and I'm pretty sure it's because of my allergic rhinitis. I was on rupafin and medrol last March, but I haven't done any follow-up consultations since then. Could that be why my symptoms are persisting? What should I do next? Should I consider going back for another check-up or is there something else that might help in the meantime?

Could this be a sign of something more serious, or just a typical allergic reaction? Id really appreciate your guidance on this.
