First ask yourself these questions, what have I eaten lately? have I been around any irritants, (household chemicals, lawn fertilizers, etc.) have you tried benadryl, that usually helps. Also have you been drinking enough water? If none of this helps you can go to the E.R. they cannot refuse treatment.
