question:I have hive like welts from my shoulders to my hips. They are itchy. I am also taking Omeltec for blood pressure . I may also have a potential allergy to aspartame in pop, as I have been drinking diet pop this week, and the inside of my mouth seems raw. Should I stop the medication? I ve already stopped the pop and the hives/welts are not gone. I am taking some benedryl .
answer:Hi It is possible to be allergic to medication even antihypertensives but it is safer to speak to your doctor before considering stopping the medication. You should continue the benadryl and consider visiting your doctor is the weals do not resolve or worsen, you may need a short course of steroids. Some of the signs of a severe allergic reaction would be abdominal pain, difficulty breathing , difficulty swallowing, swelling of the face or tongue. I hope this information is helpful to you

Is it just a virus or do i need my chest xrayed. thanks
answer:Hi, You are Type I diabetes and hope it is under control with the use of insulin, The symptoms and history which you have given indicates Post viral state where secondary infection and with the use of Proper antibiotics it should subside, It is prolonging as you requred salbutamol it means bronchospasm is there ,in such cases a nebulizer therapy may help you . Also post viral dry cough persist for long time in some cases. If your brochospasm is relieved may take antitussives in consultation of your chest Physician. In any case if no relief go for X ray to rule out any significant pathology as you are a Diabetic patient. Best of Luck
