<bot>: Cellophane You for contacting Chat Doctor. You are having allergic reaction from something. I would suggest you following things:> First & most important thing is that you need to look for the cause. In most of the cases it is food, cloth (particular fabric) or insect bite. You need to avoid that after finding.> Take cetirizine one at night for 5 days.> Take montelukast one daily for one month. Research has shown that it decreases the allergic symptoms considerably. I would also suggest you to undergo allergy testing at allergy clinic as you have chronic allergy problem. It will tell that you are allergic to what specific thing. The results will help an allergist to prescribe you immunotherapy to that specific allergen, and it will improve the problem. Hope this answers your question.
