Common Questions and Answers about Antihistamine for itching
antihistamine
My daughter is suffering from eczema from the time she was 2 months old. Her Ped prescribed antihistamine for itching. We are concerned about the side effects.
She does not have any immune system related issues.
Her itching increases during the night time and it has been severe since the past 2-3 weeks. Only now we started giving her antihistamine and are concerned about the side effects.
Is there any other way to stop her itching.
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!
You may have "physical" or Cholinergic urticaria". Any rash (hives) appear together with itching? Next time when itching start take an antihistamine pill (like Benadryl). If this will help you, it means you have physical urticaria (allergy to heat in your case).

little bumps like pimples then they scratch off and become very irritable. Sarna, Goldbond-green for itching, now on Cortizone-10 daily or 2 x daily.

Hi Friends/Community/Experts,
1. I am 25 years single male and I never had any skin problem until last month...It just started itching all over my body and I smoothly itch and itch and can't stop myself from itching.....I started to take Zyrtec for few days according to doctor's guidance.....It does not itch that night and until next day.....When I stopped medicine after 3 weeks, it started all again...uuuhhhh.....I went to doctor again...
Get yourself a prescription for Hydroxyzine. Hydroxyzine is used to treat itching caused by allergies. It is an antihistamine and works by blocking a certain natural substance (histamine) that your body makes during an allergic reaction. The key is when you go cold turkey let the itch get to the point that you can't actually stand it anymore like a few hours after the itching starts, its hard but stretch it out. Take the Hydroxyzine and jump in a hot shower your itch will stop.
I have had ICP (intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy) in both my pregnancies. It is nothing to mess around with. I am currently 33 weeks and they were about to induce me at 28 weeks, but due to the Ursodiol working, they held off. It is dangerous to not only you but to the baby as well. They will induce me early due to the fact of a huge risk of still born past 38-39 weeks. Please call and let your doctor know! Even if they think you are crazy. You know your body best.
And so it has for me. It makes sense. Bacteria breeds in patches on warm damp skin, and makes it itch. Scratching carries the infection - as do tights, socks, the contents of jars of unguents kept in warm bathrooms. Maintain scrupulous hygeine - boil your tights or replace! - and both the rash and the itch disappears. . Steroid creams have not touched the problem, or antibiotics - just old fashioned disinfectant did it in a week. One thousand sleepless nights are in the past.
The first thing for you to do is to talk to your pharmacist for OTC topical to help control the itching. Some people recommend an antihistamine like Benadryl.
If you start breaking out in other areas, it will be time to see your doctor. It is possible for it to become systemic which will require an oral steroid like prednisone or Mederol (methylprednisolone).
Feel better.
God bless.
