[|Human|] I woke up early this morning itching all over. Soon after that, I noticed my middle finger swelling and ballooning out. Shortly after that, my right foot started swelling too. Then my knees. Then the middle finger on my other hand. Then my wrists. Then my elbows. In short, all joints are swelling. Ive taken 2 doses of Benadryl, and the itching stopped, but the swelling has barely gone down. Are there any other potential home remedies I could use to make the swelling go down? Its not painful, its just really annoying. Any advice you can give apart from going to see a doctor in person would be much appreciated. Thank you!
[|AI|]  Hi. Welcome to Chat Doctor . I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns. As per your complaint it seems like you have got a severe allergic reaction to some unknown allergen, and it is leading to severe itching and swelling all over the body. It is an emergency condition and needs immediate medical attention. You should consult an Allergist and get evaluated, and he can do a thorough clinical evaluation and also advise allergic tests like Patch test, LAST test and food challenge test to rule out the exact cause of allergic reaction and treatment can be planned accordingly. As of now to relieve the allergic symptoms he can advise you injectable anti allergic and steroids. Oral anti allergic and steroids can also be continued. Cool compresses over the body and application of calamine lotion can also help. Hope this information helps. Thanks and regards. Chat Doctor.
