Specializes in Allergy and Immunology

See Doctor or ER: You need evaluation asap to control the hives and what would possibly be angioedema, ? a reaction to the medicine or viral infection, the cough can very well be due to inadequately treated bronchitis, sinusitis or airway hyper responsiveness, good luck
