Dealing with Mast Cell Flares: Seeking Advice

How do you all handle bad Mast Cell Flares? Is it ever worth it to go to the emergency room? I am on a 2 week vacation in a different part of the country and have apparently been overloaded with histamine buildup from different environment, water, food, scents, etc. I’ve got a painful, raised, itchy rash on my arms and legs and armpits. I also am dealing with cold-like symptoms, sore throat, congestion, trouble breathing. Additionally I can feel a lot of inflammation in my spine, particularly neck and lower back. Does anyone else deal with these symptoms? How do you manage? I’ve been taking Diphenhydramine and Famotidine for 3+ days and have not seen a decrease in my symptoms. I’m wondering if any of you ever reach a point where OTC meds don’t help and you have to explore other methods such as ER treatment. Thanks in advance 💕
