“My mom is not reacting well to allergy medicine?”
My mom is suffering from a skin allergy from the last few years. She was prescribed the medicine i.e Levocetirizine but now the allergy is more and she has to take this medicine. Is there any other medicine or any other way to control it?

Hello, it is hard to know what type of rash your mother has without seeing it, as the treatment would depend on the kind of rash. Did she initially respond to the levocetirizine but now has the rash despite taking the levocetirizine? If the rash worsens despite the levocetirizine, it would be good for her to see her primary care physician or allergist to evaluate it. Certain conditions like urticaria are not dangerous but can be very uncomfortable for the individual, and trying other antihistamines in combination can help. Still, it would be in your mother's best interest to see a physician if the rash worsens. Please feel free to reach to me consulting@drdeepa-tlc.org. Kind regards, Dr. Deepa
There are plenty of other allergy medications that can be tried. You should have a formal consultation with an allergist who can make proper recommendations
