A member asked:
Is there a system wide steroind antiinflam other the cortisone or prednisone.....cromlyn maybe?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below: Cromolyn is the mast cells stabiliser. It mostly prophylactic meds, than for acute exacerbations. Check with your allergologist. Your elevated BP probably keeps you to search for alternative medication. Check also for food tolerance/allergy; contact dermatitis ( laundry detergents, deodorants, etc). Your pcp should guide you on that.
