Hello doctor! I had a cesarean section 2 weeks ago, after the cesarean delivery, the face and chest were itchy, is it due to drug allergies? Please advise me on this case.

Hello! This phenomenon is often due to side effects of anesthetics, especially when combined with drugs of the morphine family.
This phenomenon usually goes away on its own, in cases of itching many doctors can treat it with antihistamines. Itching can be uncomfortable for you, but in return, the effect of pain relief lasts longer.
If you have any health problems after giving birth, you should return to the hospital or go to a hospital of Vinmec Health System to be checked by a doctor and have in-depth advice.
