Hi, My relative has the below problems: 1. skin allergy (rashes and heavy itching) since 2 years 2. suddenly last month his BP dropped to 30/60. Was unconscious but things were under control after 2 days. since then no BP problem now 3. After this currently he is facing the problem of ulcers inside his mouth since last one month. He is not able to eat anything spicy and hard. 4. he is also under stress due to some family problems We have consulted 7 doctors but no luck, recently one skin doctor suggested steroids and one tablet to calm him down. Want to know the consequences and also about the disease he is suffering from. Please help... Thanks in advance
Hello. Thank you for asking at Chat Doctor. I went through your relatives history and would like to know more details about him like:a. What is his age? b. I would like to know about the episode of reduced BP - how it happened, what was the diagnosis. c. I would like to know any other medical conditions he may have as well as any other medications he may be taking on frequent/regular basis. From your given history, I would like to make suggestions for him as follows:1. Were I treating him, I would prescribe him regular antihistamines like levocetirizine and HY Chat Doctor.  I may add montelukast to his regular treatment if no response with above.2. I usually prescribe a short course of corticosteroids if his itching & rashes are very severe and do not respond to above treatment. Once they are controlled with corticosteroids, they may be safely with
