What alternative treatments or medical evaluations are recommended for an acute skin allergy that has not responded to antihistamines like pheniramine (Avil) and cetirizine after two days?
Since these antihistamines haven't helped after two days, I highly recommend consulting a doctor or dermatologist for a professional evaluation. They can identify specific triggers and may suggest stronger treatments, such as a brief course of oral corticosteroids or prescription topical steroid creams to quickly calm the inflammation. In the meantime, cool compresses can provide some soothing relief. Please seek immediate emergency care if you experience any swelling of your face or difficulty breathing.
