Since Prugo-25 Tablet (Hydroxyzine) is no longer effective, you should consult her doctor to discuss adjusting the dose, taking alternative antihistamines, or a short course of steroids to control the current flare. Avoid potential triggers and seek urgent medical care if swelling increases or if breathing or throat difficulty occurs.

  1. Immediate Actions

    • Consider switching to a second-generation antihistamine like cetirizine or loratadine, which are often more effective for urticaria.
    • If symptoms persist, consult a healthcare provider for possible corticosteroid treatment.

  2. Home Care Tips

    • Apply a cold compress to reduce itching and swelling.
    • Avoid hot showers and wear loose clothing to minimize irritation.

  3. When to Seek Medical Help

    • If symptoms worsen or if there are signs of breathing difficulties, seek immediate medical attention.

  4. Follow-Up

    • Schedule a visit with a dermatologist or allergist for further evaluation and management.
