Since your current medicines, including Cholestyramine and Hydroxyzine, are not relieving your severe itching, you should consult your treating doctor or hepatologist. In resistant itching related to liver disease or Hepatitis A, doctors may sometimes consider medicines such as Rifampicin, Naltrexone, or Sertraline under close medical supervision. For temporary relief, take cool baths, use fragrance-free moisturizers or calamine lotion, keep your room cool, and avoid scratching. Do not start any new medicine on your own because your liver is already inflamed and some medicines may worsen liver function.
