zyrtec for hives allergies

Take her off the ALLERGIA as that can cause bad hives. I got horrible leg pains and hives down both my legs that by the time I knew what caused it I had to use antibiotics to heal it. Try children's ZYRTEC and one Tagament a day. Watch for an hr to see if she gets a allergic reaction to what ever she uses or eats if earache, coughing,itching start remove what ever she is using or eating for one week.

i take zyrtec,allegra and alervert all day every day as my doctor told me for my hives .some days its real bad and others are very good. ive had no effects from the mixture.

For the last few months I have been breaking out in hives and itching, swelling (severe) espically when doing work or getting hot, possibly cold i am unsure, what might be causing this and what should I do or take. I have been taking benadrly but it keeps coming back.

Simple moisturizing creams, wet soaks, calamine lotions etc are generally enough to soothe the symptoms of hives of pregnancy. Try these along with Zyrtec. Zyrtec also causes hives, sounds strange when it is used for the cure. It is also possible that Zyrtec is aggravating your hives. Please take a skin test or RAST test to know what you are allergic to. Hope this helps. It is difficult to comment beyond this at this stage. Do consult an allergy specialist.

I usually spot a couple of small bumps which then spread all over my legs and turn into hives. Around my knees the hives are clustered and raised and flat. And on my thighs my skin becomes discolored and there are white splotches everywhere with a hive in the middle. I'll usually take a benadryl and it'll go away, but I'm sick of taking it. And it's odd because the only time I start breaking out is when i wake up.

i use 2 types of antihistamine for hayfever, i use them on alternative years - i find if i use the same one for 2 summers it does not work for the for the 3rd summer - but by alternating them i am fine.

I notice that certain drugs work better for me with certain allergies. Claritin works well for me for dust and mild pet dander, but Zyrtec helps with more vigorous pet dander (horses) and for cottonwood and dogwood. Really only Benadryl works for pine bladders. My doctor gave me some samples of some other medications: Zyzal (sp?) and Singulaire, which also help with the more daily stuff, including some food allergies, that Claritin can't handle.

I usually take a zyrtec once a day and benadryl at night if I have a flare up. I recently had an outbreak of hives only on my hands. They itched like crazy and were all different sizes. The zyrtec took the itch away so it doesn't bother me at all but they are a bit uncomfortable. It's been almost two weeks and my hives are still there. What could cause this, especially since it doesn't itch anymore?

My Daughter who is 19 years old has had severe hives ever since she was 5. She has been tested for food allergies and appears to have none, yet every time she gets sick, she breaks out from head to toe in raised hives on her body. They usually have to give her an epi shot, benadryl and steroids for them. Is their any way that a cold or virus is causing this? I am at my wits end and my daughter has had it after 14 years of this.

Thanks so much for your response. I am not breastfeeding so I took some Zyrtec that my husband has for his allergies. Its only been an hour & the itching is soooo much better. Hopefully this condition is just due to my hormones & wont last much longer. I will take the Zyrtec til it does. Again. Thanks very much.

My daughter is 5 and a halfyears old and her doctor has been treating her for the past year with prevacid solutab 15mg daily, which at first relieved her symptoms after a couple of weeks until recently. She is a very active child, she enjoys tumbling and running and cheerleading. Lately she complains that her stomach hurts, she can't breathe and when she states that she tries to take a deep breath and she says "I can't Breathe".

I just started to get hives, have had them for 1.5 months. I took Zytrec for the first time just today. It took the hives away completely. I am really happy about this. How long have you taken Zyrtec? Any bad expereince with it? I was taking Benedryl 4x a day, b ut it only worked so-so.

I do have two dogs that sometimes lay on my sofas but this did not start until a few years ago and I have not had pet allergies before. Can allergies develop later in life? My concern is, if this is not allergies, what is it?

I didn't develop allergies until I hit my 20's. Now that I am in my 20's I have a lot of allergies. I take Zyrtec every day now just so I can take a shower without breaking out in hives. And that's even after filtering the water. It's entirely possible that you are getting allergies now that you never had before. Don't scratch your hives and put Caladryl with Cortizone over it on it. It's the best home remedy I found.

Hi, I started getting hives 4 months postpartum and I have now experienced them every night for two months. I two get them on my face throat, eye balls and enternally, everywhere. I had blood work and they said everything is fine. I have a appointment to see a second allergist, but the first one could not figure it out. I changed my diet, tried to find things that could possibly be causing it and the bottom line is I haven't found anything.

t get through the day without going crazy with the hives. Exactly 24 hours after I take a half Zyrtec (practically to the minute) they come back. The Dermatologist wasn't helpful and 1000 dollars worth of allergy testing told me what I already know. I'm allergic to grass, trees, etc... I don't roll around in the grass and this is something that has gotten progressively worse; the doctors don't have a definitive answer.

I've been getting hives for the past year or so. It comes fast and disappears fast. It can occur anywhere on the body, mainly on my arms and back. I often get an outbreak in summer and heat triggers it (eg: I can't go into a spa as my body will have a breakout straight away).

My husband has terrible allergies. He always seems to have a cold, even though he says it's just allergies. These white spots always appear on his throat followed by a terrible cough that lasts forever. He's been tested for Strep,and it's always hegative. When we moved in together, I really noticed how sick he was ALL the time - I mean really sick. He takes Zyrtec every other day to prevent hives and rashes on his skin, but it's like he ALWAYS has a cold.

Thank you for your prompt response... The hives are definitely persistent. It has been about 10 days so far. The Zyrtec does not seem to be helping as much as I think it should, so tomorrow I will pick up some Benadryl and we will try that instead. I've heard it could make her drowsy but at this point I'll take the chance.

The doctor did the blood work trying to find a cause for an extreme case of hives that lasted for 3 weeks. He took prednisone and zyrtec and benadryl to get it under control but has been off all meds since 1 month prior to all blood work. The allergist has been unable to find a cause for the hives. He has a history of seasonal allergies and some sinus infections. Can you give me some insight as to a cause for the low white blood cells and low T4? He has not been sick recently.

concerned that it might be an infection called in a script for me, augmentin and told me to take zyrtec. One week later to the day I broke out in hives all over my body, head to toe, long story short it took cortisone shot, steroids, and zyrtec to clear me up. After 4- 5 days it was MUCH better, but for a few weeks after that I would still ge tthem here and there, nothing major. The Dr. eventually tested me for penicillin allergy through rast testing and it came back negative.

then i stoped taking the prozac and i havnt taken it for over a week. still i get random hives, whether they show up or i just itch my skin. some start as a hard lump then get really itchy. others just start as open bump the size of a pea, then that gets really itchy. i then scratch and scratch because i cant stand it and i get this splotchy ameba looking thing that can get as big as a half dollar, or a large inflamed lump. then more tiny dots surround it.

Hi, I don't know if you speaking of seasonal allergies, But I have had an auto immune allergy since the age of 18 (now 61). I was supposed to out grow it HA Its a phyiscal allergy due to heat, stress, exercise, emotion or exersion I usually break out with small bumps or hives ( zyrtec helps ) I don't know if is connected to ms or not.

I am 38 years old and have battle allergies my life but began get huge hives a few years ago. After many allergy tests and rounds of prednizone, it was my allergy doctor who realized that I probable had high Ige levels....and blood work proved him right. I began my first series of Xolair with very high hopes. It worked great...but I rebound higher after each series. Normal levels are under 150...I started off with just slightly higher at 183. This was a couple years ago.

Rupafin, containing the active ingredient rupatadine, is a non-sedating antihistamine indicated for allergies. Side effects such as headache dizziness, dry mouth, fatigue and asthenia may be possible but like any other medicine, these may or may not be present in all patients who are taking this medicine. It is also recommended that you discuss this with your attending physician prior to taking it. Take care and do keep us posted.

What could this be? The hives come and go. they last about 15-20 minutes. then it stops for an hr then reappears elsewhere. I cant think of anything new im doing, besides a new perfume i bought 3 days b4 this started..i also took flagyl for a week for an infection and my last pill was i think tuesday..

acute and chronic(when hives persist for more than 6 weeks). The most likely triggers for acute urticaria are allergies to pets, horses, latex and foods, such as shellfish and nuts,bee or wasp stings,allergies to medicines,Viral infections, such as glandular fever and herpes, dental and sinus infections, fungal infections, blood transfusions and vaccines. The cause of chronic urticaria is often more difficult to identify.
