i have been having itching in eyes and redness every morning that I wait up, the itching is in several parts of my body.itching in the throat . I was wondering what this could be. I do have peripheral neuropathy due to chemo therapy , and I just moved into a house that was newly painted and new carpet installed, could this be that I may be allergic to something??
Dear Concerned., Thanks for writing to us. The redness in eyes, itching in basically skin/mucosal surfaces is due to allergic reactions to constituents in paint/paint solvents/house dust and carpet dust. The best way to prevention is to keep yourself from the offending allergen. Please change your environment/shift yourself away until the painting and other works have been completed. Use an anti-allergic oral medication(Antihistamines) such as Fexofenadine /Chlorpheniramine orally at least once a day/as decided by your MD. For Skin reaction pls apply call Chat Doctor. Salt water gargling for throat. If you develop any respiratory symptoms such as difficulty in breathing/wheezing pls contact you MD immediately to start on Nebulization with bronchodilators/lifesaving steroids as angioneurotic edema (medical term) is a dangerous condition. Wishing you very speedy recovery., Best Regards.,
