zyrtec and theraflu

Just miserable. Wondering if I can take theraflu. I am a nurse but hear mixed reviews and when I called my on call doctor, she wasn't much help, just referred me to the paperwork I got when first pregnant. Im almost 35 weeks.

Sinus colds are often caused by outdoor allergies, you can help prevent that by taking zyrtec and using a nasal spray, which are all safe after your first trimester

I don't know what else to do but this is really getting me ! For the past four days now I've been so stuffed up and sneezing like crazy ! Nothing opens up my nose and I change 4-5 times a day because I pee and can't control it. Also getting a headache. Benadryl is not helping and I'm tired of taking 4 showers a day just to try to breathe. My nose and mouth are so dry.

Have any of you taken this while pregnant? I'm 36 weeks and haven't even taken Tylenol this pregnancy but I'm so sick. My doctors office is closed so I can't call and ask them. The only cold medicine I have at home is Theraflu.

I just found out that I am 5 weeks pregnant. One week ago I had a terrible flu and I took Theraflu for 3 days straight (about 13 packs). My question is is it going to affect my baby? What should I do? Is it possible to check my baby for any defects?

I'm 38 weeks pregnant, is it okay for me to Theraflu multi symptoms meds?

On call prescribed me a zpack and an inhaler which is the only thing,they can really do I guess...I bought theraflu and halls and just wanted to know if anyone else has ever had anything else that helps this horrible cough..I apply vapor rub on my chest and night to help me try to sleep and dr. Told me I could take a zyrtec for the drainage if it makes me wanna pueke but I didn't buy it...

Doc called earlier this am and said no to the theraflu. But said that taking an antihistamine, a decongestant, and tylenol should have about the same effect. So, I took a benadryl, a sudafed, and a tylenol, but that's just not really helping either. I think I know the culprit though. I have a new neighbor that is about an 1/8th of a mile down the road from me. The old neighbors used their barn to store stuff in and the new ones are using it to smoke tobacco.

I have had the following symptoms for three days now: *When I move my eyes in any direction, the back of my eyes hurt. I also cannot look at sunlight. *When I cough (single violent dry cough), it jerks my head forward and hurts the sides of my head. *Not a sore throat, but a raw feeling. It's very sensitive when I breathe and makes me want to cough. Sometimes the coughs make my throat and head hurt.

I don't honestly know if you can take theraflu. I would call your doctor for an answer to that one. Green tea with lots of honey might do the trick though. It's warm, the honey will coat your throat which should relieve pain and irritation, and since it's green tea you can drink as much as you want!

I am 13 weeks pregnant and I have the body flu, body aches, nasal congestion, headaches, and sore throat. I cannot wait this cold out, I feel horrible, is Theraflu okay to have !?

I was also advised to take Zyrtec and wondered if Zyrtec had any more benefit for skin reactions thank Claritin. Claritin didn't help at all. Two dermatologists suggested Zyrtec over Claritin . I hesitate to try the Zyrtec as I took it once a few years ago and promptly feel into a deep sleep. If it is better for the skin than Claritin can it be taken at night and do any good? Your help is greatly appreciated. This discussion is related to <a href='http://www.medhelp.

My doctor was OK with me taking zyrtec. You just have to make sure to drink lots and lots of water.

It seems like Akira has seasonal allergies and dust allergies in addition to her food allergies. Because I really don't want to give her long term steroids, I decided to only give her the 1/4 tablet of Zyrtec that the vet told me to give her before. I try to wait 'til I just have to give it to her, because I know that people can build up a tolerance to antihistamines, so I figure that animals can, too.

Both Allegra and Zyrtec are 24 hour medications in my area. I have known several people who took 3 Zyrtec in one day, and my allergist says that you can't really OD on antihistimines. You should be sure to drink PLENTY of water and watch for signs of constipation and dehydration. You should make sure that your dr is well aware of how much of these meds you are taking to make sure that they are ok with any other medications you maybe taking.

Just normal regular strength theraflu. I asked about this specifically because its always made me feel better and sore throat was my main thing.

I took over the counter medications for several days (Nyquil, Dayquil, various vitamins, Theraflu etc...) and most of the symptoms subsided over the following week. I still have a slightly sore throat, but nothing near as bad as it was at its worst and the fatigue has gone away... not sure on the fever, I still feel a little warm, but have been unable to take an accurate temperaturein a few days.

10mg every day for the first five days and then every other day for the next five, in addition he gets a generic Zyrtec everyday. Now he just gets a zyrtec every day, and if his allergies act up beyond the zyrtec's control, like this time of year ,he gets a prednisone per day for 3 or 4 days and then every other day for two or until things calm down. Zyrtec can be expensive, but we actually found a generic brand at the dollar store! $1. for 14 pills, so we clear their shelves!

Had been on Augmentin for a sinus infection, just finishing up the script, and take Crestor, Nexium, and Zyrtec on a regular basis. Symptoms started a few days after starting generic Zyrtec, which also caused unbelievable dryness that felt like I was dehydrated (no vomiting, though). A day after the chills, I noticed my urine was dark and my stools were very light, almost gray, and I started getting very itchy but no rash.

Hi all...so I have an itchy throat and cant stop sneezing and I am in my TWW after IVF (I know great timing ;)). Anyway, do you think its safe to take cold medicine or theraflu??

Without the Zyrtec, my hives are not only unbearable but they also start to present in my throat, mouth and on my lips, so going without it is not really an option for me.

you can have theraflu. it works great and is safe. its on the list of safe meds my OB gave me. or robitusin is good too.

But being pregnant and uncomfortable astit is you should talk to your doctor about medications. And ask if you can take Theraflu because that'll knock you out if you have trouble sleeping. Get better soon!

Months ago my ALT was 26. I stopped using Zyrtec, and my doctor told me to use Atarax. However, its been a week and the rash is still the same. I am very worried about it. What shall I do?
