God Bless You. I am praying for you right now. This looks miserable. My suggestion would be to go to someone that deals with Long Covid (Long Covid Clinic), try another allergist, pulmonologist or maybe even a dermatologist to get their take on this. Have you tried Benadryl, Zyrtec, Benadryl cream or Hydrocortisone cream? Soaks in Aveeno Oatmeal soak just up to your neck? That is used to treat skin irritation & itching. I used it when my kids had the chickenpox. I used Corn Huskers Lotion (old remedy) when I had a terrible case of the hives one time and it did wonderful. It smells awful, but, it worked for the itching and swelling. I would try a small area to see how you respond. It took a while. Check with your functional medicine doctor before trying these please. I am so sorry this happened to you. Hugs & Prayers. I care. Please keep me posted.

Thank you for the kind words. I've tried it all. I have a lot of allergies, so I can only try products that are on my ACDS CAMP app safe list, which makes this all harder. So basically, I put ice packs on my face until the heat from the hives melts it and then I have to rotate it out. Which means I'm not sleeping either. I appreciate the suggestions. Thank you.

I am currently on day 3 of paxlovid and I am experiencing severe itching all over my body. It just occurred to me that it might be a allergic reaction so I got online to read up on it and it led me to this forum. I am now worried and curious to know if you found anything else out? I am not going to finish the remaining packs.
