DH has woken up with a intensely itchy hot and bumpy rash over much of his torso. We have just got off the phone with the dr at the OOH who was pretty unhelpful. She thinks it is an allergic reaction and has told DH to take antihistamines. We have cetirizine. She would not say what an appropriate single dose is for such reactions - she said to 'look at the box'.

Not helpful. And doctors out there? How much can he take?

She said if it gets worse to go to A&E. Otherwise GP. Which is fine. But he needs something to help now!

Thanks for all your help everyone.

Rash has gone down to a degree this morning, and is not as itchy, but still there. Trying to get GP appointment to discuss. Calling our allergist friend to discuss OTC meds and appropriate dose in the meantime.
