Hello Jab
I understand you’re experiencing body swelling and skin changes after taking the prescribed medicines and injections for cold and cough. These symptoms can be side effects, especially from medicines like steroids (Zflone, Dexa), Deriphyllin, and Clemast-L.
What You Should Do Now - Contact your doctor immediately and inform them about the swelling and skin changes. These could be signs of an allergic reaction .
These symptoms generally go away on its own by stopping a medicine as it allergic reaction.
Thank you
The symptoms you’re experiencing, such as body swelling and skin changes, might indicate an allergic reaction or side effects from the medication. It’s important to address these issues promptly. First, consider stopping the medications that are not critical for your immediate health, and consult with your healthcare provider as soon as possible for guidance specific to your series of medications. This is crucial because once side effects appear, their progression can potentially be unwelcome. Injection components like Dexa could cause fluid retention, leading to swelling, while skin changes may result from an allergic reaction. Antihistamines like Clemast-L could help alleviate allergic reactions, but since you are already taking it, another type or dosage might be needed under strict medical supervision. You should contact your doctor immediately to report these reactions. In the meantime, avoid substances that could exacerbate swelling, such as salty foods, and increase fluid intake unless contraindicated (hypothetically due to heart or kidney issues), to aid in detoxifying the system. For home care, elevating swollen areas can help reduce swelling. Skin moisturizer may assist with skin discomfort, though its effects on dark spots is uncertain. Given the potential implication of serious drug reactions, you must prioritize a possible visit to a healthcare facility which could swiftly provide alternative treatments and detailed examination.
