Avatar n tn Acetaminophen is a pain reliever and a fever reducer. Chlorpheniramine is an antihistamine (reduces inflammation, helps with drippy nose and eyes from allergies, etc) Coricidin is an over the counter OTC drug. The DSM-IV is system for measuring the risk of substance abuse or for assessing mental disorders. You may be thinking of classification of narcotics? or pregnancy drug classification? OTC drugs are not classified.
Avatar n tn Veramyst™ (fluticasone furoate) is a nasal inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) and, strictly speaking, not an antihistamine. As an anti-inflammatory medicine, however, has the potential to reduce histamine mediated inflammation, in a non-specific fashion. That it is not an antihistamine is evident by the very many studies of combination therapy, the combination of fluticasone with an histamine 2 (H2) blocker non-sedating antihistamine.
Avatar n tn I've been applying Maybelline Baby Lips lip balm for two months and recently the edges of my upper lip started drying out and in 2 days my entire lip was swollen, red and burning and feeling stretchy, but its not chapped but feels extremely dry. It has happened to me twice before (had used Avon lip balm then) and i applied Smyle herbal gel and Vaseline and it worked. This time though it is not working. I've been applying Smyle gel and Himalaya lip balm to cure it.

Avatar n tn How long can i use antihistamine for my daughter aged 7 months to relieve her of the eczema itching.
Avatar n tn Hello, The symptoms that you are having are due to sinusitis. (Inflammation of the air cavities within the passages of the nose (paranasal sinuses) is referred to as sinusitis). The golden rule for chronic stuffy nose is steam inhalation. Inhaling steam from a bowl of hot (but not boiling water) may help to soften, and loosen, the build up of mucus in your nose. Use an over-the-counter (OTC) decongestant combined with an anti-inflammatory analgesic (pain reliever) like Ibuprofen.
Avatar f tn My eyes will frequently get red in the inside of the lids. There is no discharge, just sleep in the eyes occasionally. They are somewhat dry, have always been dry actually. No itching. This is re-occurring. I had noticed maybe a year ago that it would happen, then get a little better, then get a little worse. Then, it didn't happen again for quite a while(4 or 5 months?) and now recently, it hit again with inside of eyelids very red, and I started to have some pain too.
Avatar f tn struggling with that for 2-3 days i had to get shots so i can get some relief for at least 24 hours... then i went on strict food diet... who knows after how many shots and 70 days after, itching is bearable and swellings are rear... 9 days since the last shots. I’m getting better unless I eat something else then twice-baked bread and yogurt... whenever I consume something else symptoms are getting worse... I’ve lost more than 10 kilos body mass so far... any suggestions?
Avatar f tn Hi, my dermatologist has prescribed me a antihistamine for my itching and wants me to use it for 4-6 weeks. The med is called hydroxzine. I am concerned because i never heard of anyone using antihistamine for that long. Will this severly affect my liver? Please help!
Avatar n tn Ive had a red postule that is maybe half a centimeter in diameter for three months now in my pubic area. I originally thought that it was just an ingrown hair but i could never fish out any hair, ive tried to find any hair and there is nothing there. Also, it fills up with pus. It hasn't really gotten any bigger and it is the only one that i have. It doesn't hurt too much unless it rubs against something hard or i pop it.
Avatar f tn Since then I have avoided taking any antihistmaines except for Benadryl. I did take an occasional Claritin but it seems like every time I did anything I break out more. My allergist told me to try Claritin tabs instead of gel caps but I took one after having my allergy shot and I broke out in hives again. Now all the pollen is out and my eyes are really itchy and red and I have a hard time seeing at work. I tried taking Atarax last night to see if that would help more than Benadryl.
Avatar f tn not life or death type allergies, but sneezing, itchy nose and eyes, headaches. I take a one a day antihistamine to deal with it. .. but it says on the box not to take if pregnant. Im only 7 weeks, and have stopped taking them... but my allergies are horrible at the moment. All the sneezing is not helping with my morning sickness. During my last pregancey my symptoms actually went away but not this time... my question is can i take my antihistamine?
757137 tn?1347196453 s Life called Bromelain Sinus Ease; I use it partly for my sinuses, but also as an anti-inflammatory for bad discs. Source Naturals also makes a good one. There are many good lung decongestants along with mullein -- pleurisy root might be particularly helpful. Now, if you just wanted general anti-inflammatories, such as for arthritis or muscle aches and such, then you can move on to turmeric, MSM, ginger, sea mussel, and a host of other remedies.

Lack of aeration and irritation because of smegma and discharge surrounding the glans penis causes inflammation and edema.More common in uncircumcised males. It is usually caused by poor hygiene in uncircumcised men. The inflammation can be due to infection, harsh soaps, or failure to properly rinse soap off while bathing. One common organism associated with balanitis is a yeast known as Candida albicans.

Hope it helps.Take care and pls do keep me posted on how you are doing or if you have any additional queries.
Avatar n tn I have went quite a while without a nose spray or antihistamine being ok. Then i will get stuffy/sinus pressure. My Dr ordered a CT scan a year ago and said i had a deviated septum and some nasal polyps. I generally take Flonase. About a week ago the allergies and sinuses really got a hold of me and i had horrible sinus pressure, felt really spacey, had ear fullness and pain, felt a little off but no ear infection. I got put on a antibiotic. I then just started the Flonase back up.

Avatar m tn thanks for the reply, yes i googled that before messaging and the only one it shows is Seldane, because of the problem with this antihistamine and that it had been taking off the market (not a newer antihistamine), i wanted to know of any other antihistamines? are there no others for enlarged prostate sufferers? 2nd question is after stopping the intake of antihistamine that effect the prostate, woiuld these be a short term effect and the prostate goes back to how it was?
Avatar f tn Swelling and burning may be caused by neurological issues, infection, inflammation, possible allergic reaction and even hypersensitivity reaction. Antihistamine medication usually help provide relief in allergic reactions.However, if the symptoms persist, it is best that you have her see a doctor for proper evaluation. Direct clinical examination is important. Take care and do keep us posted.
Avatar n tn You could take some oral antihistamine medications like cetrizine or loratadine. You need to maintain a good personal hygiene . Anti-itch drugs, often antihistamine, may reduce the itch during a flare up of eczema, and the reduced scratching in turn reduces damage and irritation to the skin. For mild-moderate eczema a weak steroid may be used (e.g. hydrocortisone or desonide), whilst more severe cases require a higher-potency steroid (e.g. clobetasol propionate, fluocinonide).
Avatar n tn Hi, You could use over-the-counter antihistamine for the rash and itching at night. Cool compresses may also help. Contact dermatitis may resolve after a few days especially if the offending substance is discontinued. If it persists, it would still be best to have this seen by your doctor. Take care and regards.

Avatar f tn It may be a mild infection or inflammation. Try topical antibiotics, if it does not help, try topical steroids. Dr. O.
