Red patches spreading on my body

I had the most horrible night in my whole life yesterday. For the first time, I am allergy to something. My whole body suddenly surfaced with small red dots, then spreading out as big red cloudy patches and I almost die of itchiness! Started break out at 12midnite, and by 4am, I could not stand it anymore so we got to bring the kids, everyone in the car and rush to hospital!

Since I am nursing my boys, I was only given Chlorpheniramine tablets and Calamine lotion instead of an injection. Am still so itchy now!!!!!

Not sure if I was bitten by some insect on bed (or hubby?), but I am very sure I did not eat anything that could possibly cause the allergy prior to that.

Can it be due to hormone change? Sigh….my patient is really being tested these days!

  5. Did the doctor say what’s the cause of the allergy?
    Hope you are getting better now. Take care ya.

  6. Could it be Rosella ..a form of virus. with patches like small roses all over (something like foor n mouth?)

  7. Take some photo and show so that we can advise you?

  8. u must get tested since u r bf ur boys and handling them both. check for other signs or symptoms. were u given anti histamine? can u take it when u r breastfeeding? dont think its hormone change … double check again.. poor thing

  9. it is allergy to protein?? i heard HS got that too last time, but not sure if is same onot!

  10. hmmm…mosquito bite? u got fever not? hear about chikungunya? …or may be you are too stressful la *.^

  11. what did the doctor say? only you got it? rest of the family didn’t? could it be the bed? or the washing detergent / softener? perhaps some dairy food? my dad was suddenly allergic to cheese last time. really hope the itchiness goes away real soon ya…

  12. Is it “Fong Mok”? Cause that is also red pacthes that break out out of no where and it’s very very itchy

  13. *hugssss* awwww… still itchy? even in my hug? hehehehe… get well soon Chin Nee!

  14. Take care and hope you have a speedy recovery!

  15. It sounds like an allergic reaction. Could it be a new detergent you are using? Sometimes, after pregnancies, due to hormonal changes, your body becomes more sensitive. After Rowena, I have hyper sensitive skin. The slightest thing will cause a rash and breakout.

  16. It cause allegies of certain food, insect bite, dust and hygiene. Nothing to do with your hormone. Take a hot bath and apply the calamine lotion and your wheal will subside soon.
