About 10 days ago I went to the doctor because I was itching all over my body and developing a rash; they prescribed some anti-histamines. I still wake up with a rash and have just started getting itchy hands and feet at random times, sometimes with white bumps on my wrists. I also have smelly urine . What do you think I should do?
Hello, Your urticaria may have been triggered by a urinary tract infection, but if the symptoms of smelly urine has happened after the urticaria eruption it is generally due to either long acting antihistamines or steroids (occasionally given for bad urticaria) that tends to concentrate urine. Have plenty of water, get a urine dipstick or c/s studies and if there is evidence of an UTI, get antibiotics but continue the antihistamines until 4 weeks or at least a week after the infection has cleared as well as the itchy rash. Thanks.
