Just ten days after giving birth, I started itching that night. What should I do?

Patient's question:

Just ten days after giving birth, that night, I started to itch, and the itch got worse the more I scratched. I applied fangyoujing (menthol oil) and saltwater, but it didn't help. I bought some medicine to apply, but that didn't work either. Last night, I got an injection in my buttocks, and it finally stopped. But this afternoon, it started itching again, and there are many new rashes, even under my scalp. What kind of medicine can I take that won't interfere with my baby drinking milk?

Doctor's answer:

Do you have any symptoms of fever or abdominal pain, nausea, or vomiting? Based on your description, it is suspected to be acute urticaria. Avoid seafood, snacks, and cold foods in the next two days. You can apply calamine lotion multiple times, or use vitamin C injection and calcium gluconate injection. You can also take chlorpheniramine maleate tablets orally as appropriate. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery and a healthy body and a wonderful life.
