Avatar f tn I took metronidazole on 6/6/11 for BV as well. On 6/16/11, 5 days after the last pill, I broke out in the worst case of hives I have ever had. All around my hair line, into my scalp, along my hip and pelvic bones, on my jaw line and neck - -burning, painful and firey. The doctors tried to get to the bottom of it, but eventually they sent me on my way and I never did determine the source of the problem.
Avatar f tn Recently diagnosed with herpes 2, MD gave me acyclovir. Allergic reaction occurred, now MD has me on metronidazole. It's been 5 days and no relief from outbreak. Is there an alternative I can take?
Avatar f tn Called the pharmacist and then the doctor. Both said i was having an allergic reaction to the medicine. Both said to stop taking it. I go to the doctor next week to ddiscuss other options. So just watch out for that.....
Avatar n tn Most of the time the chemicals in skunk spray are just plain irritating. Once in awhile a pet or person can have an allergic reaction to it. I found I can deal with one skunk at a time but didn't so well with 8 young and angry skunks that were brought in in a garbage can. My asthma flared up. Is your dog showing any signs of allergic reaction: swelling, difficulty breathing or swallowing? If so, I do hope you've taken him to the vet by now.
740456 tn?1260449809 her eyes are runny, the sores (acne) are bleeding enough to make a bloody mess around the house. (there are also 2 other dogs in the house that are unnaffected) She is currently waiting to see a vet (she called about 45minutes after arriving at the clinic) and apparantly they dont have time to see her and this doesnt look like an emergency?!?!?!?!??!?!
Avatar m tn s more of a trend nowadays to only vaccinate dogs for lepto that are at high risk for the disease, and to try to pick the vaccine that is the most relevant to your local area. There are lots of different strains of lepto, and the vaccine for one strain doesn't necessarily give protection against other strains. The lepto vaccine is often said to have a higher rate of side effects than other vaccinations, also. So, lepto vaccination is a bit of a complicated issue.
Avatar f tn I noticed a yellow tint on both sides of my tongue the Friday I completed the last pill and took the fluconazole. I was instructed to take metronidazole 2times daily for 7 days. During the time taking it i experienced pain in muscles, jaw pain, headaches, dizziness, sweating, pebble like stool... and now even though I have completed the antibiotics I have been experiencing some of the same symptoms along with hives/welts here and there on my arms, legs, forehead really all over my body.
4053971 tn?1349358842 If he had an allergic reaction to his food, and his lips are still swollen, then they are also itchy. Benedryl should alleviate the itchiness, and reduce the swelling. Call the vet and find out how much your dog weighed on his last visit. The typical dosage of Benedryl for dogs is usually 1mg per pound of dog. Given 3 or 4 times a day...ask your vet what he recommends. Be sure you get plain Benedryl...( without added decongestant )....
Avatar m tn same thing just happened to my 7 year old cocker! she went in for her shots came home and started pawing at her face and running around crazy, jumping, kicking at the carpeting. I called the vet and they said bring her back NOW! I brought her in and she already had facial swelling! She never had a reaction before! Then a week later her tummy and private area is covered in welts! It 's very hot to the touch, she is going crazy again.
Avatar f tn It sounds like your dog may be having an allergic reaction to something. The only sure way to tell what is happening is for you to take her to the vet. Unfortunately, pets cost a lot of money if you are going to keep them correctly, and if they need to be seen by a vet, you need to figure out a way to make it happen. Is there nobody you can borrow the money from? Do you have anything you can take to a pawn shop to get the money?
Avatar m tn Question: I am still experiencing an allergic reaction to intradermal allergy skin testing. I have joint pain in my shoulder on the arm where allergy testing occurred. My skin is warm to the touch over the area tested and the skin marks where injections were done are larger though less raised than after the initial test. What should I do? I have applied a prescription steroid cream. I have taken my normal antihistamine. I have taken benadryl on top of it.
1754037 tn?1327886811 m the same way with my dog I developed an allergic reaction but it is winter here In Chicago and his winter coat is starting to come in! I still play and pet him as I would before but cut it short when I get allergic!
612551 tn?1450022175 Yes, we tried venison and fish (salmon) both with potato as a major ingredient and "no grain" - more or less, the prescription venisopn didn't in fact say "no grain". My problem was I didn't get the "Message".... i kept giving bits of this and that figuring just a little can't "hurt".. it never did in past dogs. I'm an old guy so a bit senile in addition to never having any such problems with dogs over the past 65 years.
Avatar m tn s an allergic reaction to my dogs. I have had dogs my whole life and never had any problems like this before. I swear I went to bed "normal" one night and woke up the next day with this stuff. I have had test after test and they can find nothing for this. I refuse to get rid of my dogs. They are too old and comfortable where they are, and i adore them, so I'll have to wait some time to see if that could of been it or not. Anyway, do you have pets?
Avatar m tn After googling allergic reaction i am so afraid of gettin an allergic reaction and going into anaphalctic shock its ruining my life because im always freaking out after i eat and the constant on edge. im 21, fit, pretty active, and sociable. i do have anxiety that comes and goes for months at a time. This food phobia has been going on for about 3 months, after every meal i just wait so nervously for a reaction because i feel that an allergic reaction is inevitable.
Avatar f tn Hi and so sorry you are going through all this. You are probably allergic to the sulfa drug in the Bacterim (ampicillin/sulbactam) and the Keflex I don't know but can be allergic to any drug/antibiotic. I'm allergic to Murpirocin, neosporin, bacitracin, clindamycin, metronidazole all topicals and had a syncope from a tetracycline type drug. My brother is anaphylaxic to penicillin. It sounds like you can tolerate Mupirocin but the topical isn't enough for your tissue infection.
Avatar f tn 1 reaction to peanuts, and a 0.6 reaction to dogs and cats. I was not able to get an appointment with a specialist until OCTOBER 13th. However my son does attend day care, and I am very worried. I was told just to rush him to the ER if he had a reaction, and to avoid ALL peanut products . Does anyone know what a 2.1 reaction means?
Avatar m tn Cephalexin is an antibiotic used in dogs. It is most commonly prescribed after a surgery or to treat a bacterial infection, dermatological problems and urinary tract infections. Cephalexin for use in dogs is similar to the use of penicillin in humans. Significance Cephalexin is one of the most widely used antibiotics in dogs, according to VetInfo.com. It can be administered via capsule, tablet or in liquid form. To lessen side effects, have your dog take the medicine with food.
Avatar f tn t have any problems with cats or dogs due to an allergic reaction, however the dander itself may still pose a problem. If you have any carpet in your house (remove it!), the dander can build up there, and tends to stay for months to years even after losing the cat. Dust mites may be a problem from owning a pet, due to them living on pet dander, and these can trigger an allergic reaction.

440120 tn?1211724496 I was wondering about the kitten possibly given me these allergic symptons and is is possible to become allergic to cats so late in life and I have never had any other allergies before?
Avatar m tn allergic reaction or skin infection with a fungus. You could be allergic to a drug which she is taking, any lubricant, douche, chemical that one of you might gave used. If it is a fungus (candida, most commonly) then you need to (1) retract your foreskin and wash beneath it twice per day and let the area dry out well before bring the skin down again. Apply a topical antifungal cream such as Lotrisone twice a day for two weeks. This works for an allergic reaction also.
1911870 tn?1345419009 I've definitely become allergic to things I never have been before while pregnant. I normally deal with some eczema, and occasionally have an allergic reaction (doctors call it "contact dermititis") to some skin products or even when I touch clothes washed in some detergents, etc. When it's acting up, Dove makes a sensitive skin body wash that I use for everything, washing hands, taking a shower, etc.
8778737 tn?1413827423 Ahhh! I'm highly allergic to gold or fake metals.. But that's something I grew up with. Just recently, I've grown a huge reaction go my baby kitty.. He's my buddy! He ruba up against my face, and BOOM... My swollen. :( I hope its just the pregnancy.
689528 tn?1364135841 Talk to the doctor. My son has severe allergies to all dogs except hypoallergenic... They can advise you the best. I would hate to hear you had to give up a family pet.
