Since your widespread symptoms haven't improved after two weeks of topical cortisone and antihistamines, a systemic corticosteroid?such as a cortisone injection or a short course of oral steroid tablets?is indeed a very reasonable and common next step. This helps treat the inflammation from the inside out. I highly recommend scheduling a visit with your doctor or a dermatologist. They can safely evaluate your skin, confirm the diagnosis, and prescribe the most appropriate treatment to finally bring you some well-deserved relief.

Since your blood and urine tests are clear, we can rule out many common internal causes. Sometimes, chronic itching without a rash can be triggered by deep skin dryness, nerve sensitivity, environmental factors, or even stress. Since oral antihistamines only offer temporary relief, gentle skin care routines and topical treatments like moisturizers containing pramoxine can help soothe the nerve endings in your skin. I highly recommend discussing these possibilities with a dermatologist to help find you lasting comfort.

Both Montair LC and Allegra-M help manage allergies. They both contain montelukast, but their allergy-fighting antihistamines differ. Montair LC contains levocetirizine, which can sometimes make you feel a bit sleepy. Because of this, it is usually best taken in the evening before bed. Allegra-M contains fexofenadine, which is a non-drowsy antihistamine, making it suitable to take either in the morning or evening. You should take whichever one your doctor prescribed once daily, with or without food. Please follow your doctor's specific guidance for your treatment.

If your child's adenoid problem has not improved after 2 months of Augmentin and Allegra, it may mean that medicines alone are not enough. Persistent symptoms often require re-evaluation by an ENT doctor, who may suggest other treatments like nasal steroid sprays, saline irrigation, or, in some cases, adenoid removal surgery. Continuing antibiotics without improvement is usually not recommended, so a doctor's review is important before trying any new medicine.

I strongly advise against taking leftover ciprofloxacin. It is a powerful antibiotic that is generally not the best choice for localized skin bumps, and using leftover medication can lead to antibiotic resistance. While ciprofloxacin does not have a major interaction with your fexofenadine (Allegra), a healthcare provider should evaluate the bump to prescribe the correct, targeted treatment. For now, please keep the area clean, avoid squeezing it, and apply a warm compress.
