Avatar m tn If this is the first time that you had a vodka tonic drink and same thing happened the second time you had it, the symptoms that you experienced may be a reaction to the alcohol. Alcohol allergy and a variety of alcohol reactions including flushing, nausea, and discomfort are important considerations. Try to avoid the trigger/ vodka tonic and have this checked by your doctor also if it persists. Take care and do keep us posted.
Avatar f tn I apologize in advance for this long question but i feel like i should really add all my details. Thanks for your time!! I have been having this cold allergy since maybe 4th grade. I used to get sent home everytime I got them because the "nurse" would say that it might be contagious.The doctor described it as a "CHRONIC ALLERGY" and never actually paid much attention to it saying it was nothing big,she recommended claritin.
Avatar f tn After looking into it, what you have is truly an allergy to cold. Refered to as 'cold urticaria'. With cold urticaria, exposure to cold temperatures causes redness, itching, swelling and hives on your skin. People with cold urticaria should avoid exposure to cold air or water as much as possible. (Source: Mayo Clinic, http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/cold-urticaria/DS01160) This completely agrees with everything you have said, and thus proves your cold allergy.
Avatar f tn I went to rite aid and asked the pharmacist what I can take with my symptoms and she said Clariton. so I bought it and have had the biggest headache all day. Will that work for a cold though? I need quick relief!! Anything else I can take? People always assume to drink and eat warm things but my throat LOVES slurpees, that's normal right?

Avatar f tn as well as afrin and a couple of allergy medicines (not all allergy medicines though)...every pregnancy is different though and every Dr is different as to what they prefer so I would definitely call.
Avatar f tn my daughter is 3 years old and suffering with frequently cough and cold. she is also on regular medication for more than 1 and half year on forcort inhaler, Cetizen, doxabid and montair. As per my observation whenever she had rice her cold and cough is increased. I spoken to her doctor but he mentioned that Rice is not an allergic component. Can some one please put some light or advice me on this.
Avatar m tn A careful nasal examination, Allergen-specific testing includes Skin testing, Serum tests for allergy, Allergen challenge and as well as Evaluation for concurrent conditions like Sinusitis and Asthma is necessary and it directs further steps for management. You need to avoid the exposure by covering nose with a cloth, whenever you are exposed to dust. It should be differentiated from vasomotor rhinitis and Atrophic rhinitis for which consult ENT specialist. Take care and regards.
Avatar f tn Allergy to cold is not real. Allergy to things that you might have to use to ward off the cold is. Like blankets or duvets. There may also be some allergic asthma at play here.
Avatar f tn It sounds more like allergies than a cold, maybe even chronic sinusitis. I would get allergy testing done and try antihistamines instead of cold meds. Vitamin C with Quercitin and bromelain are great natural antihistamines, I prefer liquid natural treatments. Hope this helps.
Avatar m tn Sounds like allergies ,were you outside a lot as possible environmental ...
1451438 tn?1285236545 probably just some infection or cold. or do you have any allergy? i have allergy reaction asthma and when it started i was all congested because of the allergy. and my throat was start to hurt because of me sneezing and stuff too i thought it was just the flu till couple days later i couldnt breath right. just make sure you get checked up even if its just cold i will go get checked since you have hard time breathing.
Avatar f tn My hands always feel cold after i take allergy medication. Does this happen to anyone else? And why does it do that?
Avatar f tn Im 10weeks and I've always had allergies throughout the year. Sneezing and runny nose, but since being pregnant I feel like ive just been sneezing, coughing and having a runny nose all the time. I know colds are common but it makes my sickness worse and I feel so run down and worry about my baby. Is anyone else like this?
Avatar m tn I suggest you to consult allergy specialist. Take care and regards.
Avatar f tn For the past couple of months I've noted my finger and feet are always cold. Lately, I've noticed that when it gets really bad (when they're very cold) I develop hives on my ankles. I have cold urticaria, which is an allergy to the cold, but i'm pretty sure it's only external stimuli, not internal. Could this be a blood circulation problem or something else? Thank you.
Avatar m tn About this time, I sometimes get a slightly sore throat, some nasal discharge, loose stools, pressure in my ears, neck and throat. What can be done for this? I read holding your nose sometimes helps to loosen up mucous. Any ideas? Please appreciate your suggestions.
Avatar m tn I'm 30 yrs old .. For the past few years i'm having cough and running nose in the morning alone.. let know the reason?
Avatar m tn try Sudafed, its always hel;ped me when I had sinus infections, u can take mucinex for the mucus, Tyenol cold and sinus congestion, and Claritin allergy if its allergy related, get losts of rest, Vitamin A,C& D is a good supplement for sinuses. hope these help u and hope u feel better soon! good luck hun!!!!
Avatar n tn are you taking allergy meds? this should help the most. if you are taking allergy meds and still experiance allergy symptoms than you should go see your doctor and tell him. there are alot of allergy meds out there and not all may work for you. aviod things that trigger your allergies the worst. the part about your skin becoming puff/blow, this happend to me when i started using a laundry det. that i was allergic to.
Avatar f tn Yes it does sound like a virus at this point. Drink lots of water and rest. If you get a very high fever take Tylenol as directed on the bottle. An anti-allergy medicine may help your ear ache if necessary.
Avatar m tn During winter, when I exit a cold place and enter a warm place my skin itches me. It usually started in my head then goes down to my legs. It will calm down if I go back to cold weather or after few minutes of suffering of the torture of the itching in the warm weather. The allergy appears also when I am getting embarrassed. generally it comes when the blood is moving faster in my blood vessels IN WINTER ONLY. It completely disappears during summer.
Avatar f tn The pain is not related to allergy and it can be due to musculoskeletal pain which causes sharp pain in chest. This happens due to over usage or uncomfortable position of upper trunk or arms. I suggest you to take analgesics which will relieve pain as well as inflammation. I suggest you to consult physician for further management. Take care and regards.
