antihistamine

Avatar f tn Also, I figured out I cannot even take some pills like Pepcid for heartburn because they cause hives all over me and are very itchy hives. The hives today were not bad itchy thankfully. Truthfully, I do not what drugs I can take since I can have either no reaction, hives or swelling. Has anyone else had a problem like this? Any suggestions on how to deal with my allergies? I have many allergies but things have been fairly bearable until pollen season. Thanks.
595729 tn?1219264277 I've had hives for over 5 years, now they turn to blisters on my handand feey. It hurts to wear shoes, not to mention embarrising! I can't sleep because I scratch myself bloody in my sleep. This was all brought on by a medication I was allergic to, that I took two seperate times over 5 years ago. I've been to many Doctors, no one seems to know how to clear them up. I've taken flax seed oils, zink, calisum, everything I can think of. Can anyone PLEASE help me???
Avatar f tn Here's one for the books. My daughter has had a allergic reaction to an oral antihistamine she took for what appeared to be hives just below the right side of her derriere. This little bout of hives were taking their time going away and so she thought by taking the antihistamine it would help the process.
Avatar m tn I really recommend that you try to identify the possible triggers so that you could avoid them and see your attending for proper assessment. Best regards.
Avatar f tn That's a lot of Xyzal. I take 5mg/day and it's the most beneficial antihistamine I've ever taken. I've taken 10mg before and it knocked me out...lol. If I feel I need more antihistamine, I add Benadryl, but it's not often that I need to do that. My answer: I've heard of people taking 10mg/day for hives and severe itching. I'm not sure how the dosing would be, but I can't imagine taking that much of it in the morning/daytime because it's so sedating.
Avatar f tn Has anyone taken cyclosorine for chronic hives? I've had hives on and off since 1992.
1965789 tn?1325556251 It looks like hives, and she does attempt to scratch them some, i gave her some childrens antihistamine which has not seemed to help much , she is still eating and drinking and playing well though she seems a bit miserable with itchiness, should i take her to the er or wait til morning to set an appointment?
Avatar f tn Thanks for your response. I had hives about 4 years back from peanut allergy(I used to eat peanuts before that but that was the first time I got hives), since then I don’t eat peanuts. I went to the doctor few days back but he prescribed me the same antihistamine which I have been taking and it hasn’t helped much. I have been conscious of what I eat and have had different categories of food just to know if one of them is causing it butto no avail.
Avatar n tn I am getting married in one month, and I can't stop worrying about the hives that I get between my legs. My fiancee and I are not sexually active for religious reasons. However, before we met I did engage in some sexual behavior. I have never had sexual intercourse, but have received (never given) oral sex several times from several different women. These hives have worried me so much that I have been twice in the last 3 years to get fully tested for STDs.
Avatar m tn These symptoms which respond to an antihistamine are probably hives. If the symptoms are severe and persistent seek the consultation of an allergist for further evaluation and management. Do keep me posted. Best luck and regards!
Avatar n tn Hello, I have been getting hives on my body for about a month now. It has shown up on my armpits, forearms, elbows, wrists, back, thighs, stomach, and now recently my head has been itching and my ears have been getting hot and red. I have been to a skin doctor and he said it was hives but it could be a million things. I went to my allergist and he said it also can be a lot of things. I am 21 years old and this it the first time this has been happening to me.
Avatar f tn Hello, Such a rash which appears and disappears is hives. The most likely triggers for acute urticaria (hives) are allergies, allergies to medicines,Viral infections, , dental and sinus infections, fungal infections, blood transfusions and vaccines. But sometimes hives may be idiopathic. The standard treatment of hives is oral antihistaminics and topical steroids.
Avatar n tn I have been taking 250 mg of Naxodil three times a day for tendonitis of my right leg concluding with my last dose on 1/26 at 7:30 AM. I never experienced an allergic reaction. On 1/26 at 10:30 PM I took a 10 mg dose of Levitra after a dinner during which I consumed two alcoholic drinks (whisky with water and a glass of white wine). In the course of the early morning I experienced some itching in my genital area.
Avatar f tn it seems to occur more since the increase in addition to other symptoms, all of my levels are in range except the Free T3 is at the bottom of the range, I have tried different lotions and they only help a little, What I found works best for me is the 25 Mg Benadryl Allergy tablets, during the day I break one in half and it helps for about 7 hours, at night I will take a whole tab, they are antihistamines so they may make you a little drowsy at first.
Avatar f tn Seeing a doctor may be the best thing to do. Hives? Would an antihistamine (OTC) help you? Might be worth a shot or OTC Cortaid. But getting it officially diagnosed is best and try your best not to itch.
Avatar f tn They are on the areas least likely for them to be hives. The best description is that they look like big nasty mosquito bites. I have been getting them for atleast 6 months. what could they be?
Avatar m tn i just want to ask if there some side effects of the medicine that i am taking, fexofenadine?? another thing is for 1 week now my hives just gone, is there a possibility it will appear again?
Avatar n tn The mainstay of treatment of hives is antihistamine which may be necessary for prolonged periods (in excess of 6 weeks). Double conventional doses of these non-sedating antihistamines such as Cetirizine, Loratadine, Acrivastine and Fexofenadine may be needed to get symptom relief. Sedating antihistamines such as Chlorphenamine or Hydroxyzine are used at night to get urticaria control.
