1540112 tn?1293016134 I dyed my hair and here I am again with the oozing poison ivy looking rash.
612551 tn?1450022175 -) Benadryl does not contain prednisone. And I am willing to be that it was the pred that helped your dog the most: it is known in vet-circles as a 'miracle drug' because it can be used to heal alot of things. I just googled temeril-p and here is what I found: Composition Each tablet contains trimeprazine tartrate (USP) 10-[3-(Dimethylamino)-2-methylpropyl] phenothiazine tartrate (2:1) equivalent to trimeprazine, 5 mg, and prednisolone, 2 mg.
369994 tn?1225733799 My body broke out in spreading itching hives since Saturday. I started taking the Prednisone Monday afternoon along with benadryl since Sunday. At least 2-3 doses a day of benadryl. I'm taking 20mg of prednisone twice a day. I've taken 3 doses so far and it seems as if it works for a little bit but last night before bed, my hives were RED again and itching same as this morning they are itching like crazy. Should the prednisone be working by now? Or am I just being inpatient?
Avatar f tn t have it, and yet, the dr who is trying to diagnose my fibromyalgia insists I try it again anyway with 40mg prednisone 2x before the test, 50mg benadryl before the test and then 40mg prednisone after the test. I reacted to 20mg prednisone years ago with a red rash, heart palpitations, swollen stomach and my head felt like it was going to explode. I had 25mg of benadryl when I had an anaphylactic reaction in 1988 after being given epinephrine, and I slept for 3 days.
2015036 tn?1332997788 Ok, so the on call doc says I can take 20mg of prednisone- along with some benadryl to ride this out. I am to leave a message for my neurologist tomorrow. Since my allergy isn't yet a breathing problem, I may be able to continue taking it, with the prednisone and benadryl. I'm going to call the avonex people too. Has anyone else had this problem?
Avatar f tn I went to the hospital immediately they told me I had uvulitis gave me prednisone and told me to take benadryl. I did the whole 5 days of prednisone the sore throat went away and the uvula went down a bit. Then around the middle of June I noticed it felt like something was stuck in my throat I looked and my tonsils seemed to be really swollen but no pain. At that time I had no health insurance so I couldn't get to the doctor. I gargled with salt water and the swelling went down some.
Avatar f tn He is now done with the Prednisone, and is back to where he was before. There must be something we can do with this information to help people with their symptoms. I stumbled on your site and see someone else has experienced a similar situation with Prednisone. Is anyone studying this?
Avatar n tn I took her to the vet and they gave me antibiotics and took a scraping for fungus but the results will take two weeks to come back. Yesterday she was scratching and I know she can have Benadryl, so I have her half a tablet morning and night, but the poor thing was so sleepy! Today she seems much better and there seem to be fewer sores, so I was wondering if it would be okay to give her Alavert instead since it is non-drowsy? She weighs 12 lbs.
Avatar f tn s not unusual for it to take 8 hours to develop the hives since the drug had to work its way throughout his system. They gave him prednisone and benadryl and within an hour, the hives were gone. My son has never had a drug allergy before, but this was his 1st time taking this drug.
Avatar f tn Thanks for the advise I will try the Epsom Salt baths and see what that does. Yeah I took her off the Prednisone she got all of the side effects and the worst was her having to go number 1 a lot and she started going while she was asleep. I had her tested and the vet told me she was fine it was the Prednisone and a side effect also with her age and her being fixed that she can't always feel it when she is that full and in a deep sleep. So we are off of that.
Avatar f tn I was given 50mg prednisone at the ER on Sunday 3am, following a delayed reaction to penicillin. I proceeded to take 50mg daily until I started feeling horrible (today) I asked the pharmacist and she told me to stop if I felt palpitations and high blood pressure which is exactly what i felt. I noticed now 14hrs later my rash is coming back and i feel my throat pulsating (not sure if that's from palpitations of carotid artery) or if i'm closing up again, slowly?
Avatar m tn Benadryl and prednisone. You can get the benadryl over the counter, but the prednisone is a steroid that mush be prescribed. Have you seen your health care provider for this?
Avatar f tn First of all, let me say that I'm comfortable with my negative results and I have no further worries. But, I've seen posted on these forums MANY times about fears of medication interacting with HIV seroconversion. Which medications can delay seroconversion, if any? Maybe this will be helpful for people who are constantly worrying about if something as benign as Benadryl can affect them.
369994 tn?1225733799 I've had an allergic reaction to penicillin, I've heard four different things from different doctors regarding what I should have done. i went in to see a doctor the other day and the guy didn't even look at my rash/hives... he prescribe prednisone a 5 steroid twice a day 20mg. I took one yesterday at 3pm.. and still the hives are horrible..As well I took a benadryl before bed.. a lot of good that did... I will start the 2nd day cycle today on the prednisone..
Avatar n tn I went out on the water on sunday and Monday it started. I started using Benadryl which has worked but im curious to find out what it is. Its red with little bumbs and the lines around my mouth are red. Does anyone have any idea on what this could be? I have an appointment scheduled with my dermatologist, but I would like a little insight about what it is. If you can help I would greatly appreciate it.
Avatar m tn Probably a systemic allergy of some sort. My guess would be allergy to either the Prednisone or what ever other medication you were taking prior to the Prednisone. I'm having a similar issue with a different medication and will likely have to do the same thing.
Avatar f tn m 33 and over the last few years I have had some serious, unexplained weight gain. Working with my doc we tried a number of things and I had been unsuccessful in losing the weight, or even to stop the gaining. My bloodwork showed that I fell within the normal range for the thyroid tests. However, I was on the edge of low T3. Ultimately, she decided I should try a baby dose of a natural thyroid med, Westhroid, to bring it up from being on the edge of low.
Avatar f tn The itching areas are mostly in the folds of his skin, in particular he has said in the nape of his neck, under his arm pits, behind his knees, between his fingers, on his chest bone, by his wrists and elbows and even on his toes and the bottom of his feet. He will take benadryl at nite, but even this doesn't help much. He has used this cream 3 times now and it keeps returning after a few weeks. There is NO visible rash.
1088527 tn?1425313375 Well thishas been a heck of a week. It started with a very bad uti antibiotics doing its job but slowly. 6 month tysabri follow up with neuro told her bout increase in pain in legs and some other problems. We decided on baclofen half tab at bedtime then increase to 3 tines a day . I held of on taking it last week because of the uti. I took half tab on thurs night within an hr I was itchy few red bumps looked like mosquito bites didnt think of anything else.
Avatar f tn I took benadryl when I got home and it lessened for a while, the next day I was itchy again but not as bad. Sunday and monday my throat burned and felt "full". I am guessing this was a reaction to the contrast. (I have a shellfish allergy so i took prednisone and benedryl before the test). Would the throat itching have been hives inside my throat (nothing was seen on the outside)? Also for my medical record what do I say I am allergic to? Is MRI contrast and CT contrast the same?
Avatar f tn I woke up yesterday with my right, top outer ear (front and back) being red, a little warm swollen and itching uncontrollably. I took some Benadryl last night and it helped me sleep, but it continues to itch like crazy! What could it be and what can I do to help control the non-stop itching? Thanks!
Avatar f tn Good evening~ My sister is having this same type of reaction (x2 days) with it seeming to worsen a little with benadryl and prednisone (steroids). Did you rash clear up, and did you find out what the cause was? Was there a particular medication that cleared it up? Would appreciate any input you can give. Hers is quite severe looking. Thanks!
Avatar m tn Hello, Oral steroids are prescribed in insect bites to reduce any swelling, any systemic allergic reaction and to counteract the inflammation associated with bee sting. Antihistaminics like Benadryl are also taken to relieve itching and provide soothing effect to the skin. I hope it helps. Take care and regards.
