I had a CT scan done 2 days ago and yesterday I began having itching and rashes all over my body, primarily my arms, legs, and stomach. I believe this is some type of allergic reaction to the IV contrast solution. Is there any way to alleviate the symptoms?
HI, thanks for using Chat Doctor It is possible that it is an allergic reaction to the medication. You should consider the use of an anti histamine to dampen the response. An example would be Ben Chat Doctor. There are also some creams which may soothe the itching, examples include calamine lotion or menthol in aqueous cream. I hope this helps
