i had an allergic reaction to shellfish, the rashes, sore throat and headache have all gone but my knees, elbows ,some of my fingers are very painful to the extent that I can barely lift a cup and struggled tl get out of bed. the symptons have lasted nearly a week. I was told by my doctor to take painkillers and piriton anti histemine. i have done so. Do i need  to worry that these symptoms persist?
Hi, the allergic symptoms were due to the shell fish, and the superficial symptoms have come down, first, then the deeper structures like joints may take some time for cure.  I to my patients with such symptoms prescribe levocitrizine, prednisolone, and antibiotics and anti inflamatories for cure. Thank you.
