  5. I'm dealing with this really annoying itching on my hands and other parts of my body. It seems to get worse both during the day and especially at night. I've tried using some English medicine, and it helps while I take it, but the itching comes right back when I stop. What could be causing this persistent itching, and what can I do to get some lasting relief? I'm starting to get really frustrated with it.

Since the medicine you previously used did not provide relief, I recommend trying an antihistamine such as Cetirizine (brand name Zyrtec) at a dosage of 10mg once daily. Additionally, you can apply a soothing lotion containing calamine or a mild steroid cream like Hydrocortisone (brand name Cortizone-10) to the itchy areas. Remember to avoid scratching the affected skin to prevent further irritation.
