How long can i use antihistamine for my daughter aged 7 months to relieve her of the eczema itching.
e., with antihistamine chlorpheniramine 4 mg, decongestant phenylephrine 12.5 mg, and cough suppressant dextromethorphan 15 mg, each per 5 mL), then the guideline dose for a 4-year-old is one-quarter teaspoon (the one-half teaspoon dose is for age 6-11 years, while the full teaspoon dose is for ages 12 years and up).
com will take you to all of the available antihistamine info. That same site also says that these antihistamine sleep aids are not for people with glaucoma or kidney disease.
The dosage amount is based on your body composition, height, weight, etc., so 1800mg (while it is an exceedingly high dosage) could possibly be a normal dosage size for someone large in stature.
I was under the idea that it was common knowledge that overdosing on any drug can be fatal, but I guess you didn't know.
not life or death type allergies, but sneezing, itchy nose and eyes, headaches. I take a one a day antihistamine to deal with it. .. but it says on the box not to take if pregnant. Im only 7 weeks, and have stopped taking them... but my allergies are horrible at the moment. All the sneezing is not helping with my morning sickness. During my last pregancey my symptoms actually went away but not this time... my question is can i take my antihistamine?
5 In Manns, et al., a regression analysis of sustained virologic response rate and ribavirin dosage shows a clear direct relationship between SVR and dose with a definitive cutoff at a critical dose of 10.6 mg/kg.1 This has led to the argument that adherence to ribavirin dosage improves sustained virologic response rate, although this remains an unproven point to date.6

The reason Tylenol PM helps you sleep at night is due to the Diphenhydramine which is a sedating antihistamine that is used in many OTC night time formulations. Diphenhydramine can cause side effects such as excessive daytime sedation, dry mouth, and urinary retention and thus its use long term as a sleep aid may not be preferred, but it is not addictive.

The only symptom I have at the moment is itchiness especially on the scalp but also a bit on the rest of the body.
What kind were you taking?
When you see the doctor, get him or her to tell you how large a dose of antihistamine you should take for a reaction like this. If you can get the antihistamine into your system quickly enough, then that ought to greatly reduce the chances of your ever needing to use the epi pen. I would take the antihistamine as soon as any hint of a systemic reaction started.
If it comes to it I will get him the other things she suggested (an antihistamine sp? to dry the snot and something else for his eye) but it seems that she will just keep suggesting things and 3 new payments down the way I don't want her to be like "oh well its not even pink eye!"
Help!
If the medications do not work, it is best that you inform her doctor for proper management. A change in medication or dosage may be indicated. With children, it is indeed difficult to avoid scratching but this can lead to secondary bacterial infection also. An over-the-counter antihistamine may also help provide relief. Take care and do keep us posted.
The worse part of it was, I could no longer take any kind of antihistamine, as it made the hives worse. Same with advil, tylenol and aspirin. The hives were also worse with anything tight on my skin and during long drives, they appeared on my hands. I learned to live with them as nothing seemed to help. Two years ago, during an annual physical, my physician tested my thyroid. Apparently at my age, it's a test they do. I had been tired but throught it was stress.
5mg) This is my trimix dosage. I am told from other forums this is extremely high and should keep me hard for at least 2 hrs. I am suppose to go to 100 units but usually just go to 30-40 units. Still only keeps semi hard for 30 minutes or so and then another hour just fat but flacid. Not sure why such a strong dose does not work.
Hi Cici888,
I just finished reading your comments. My suggestion is to go to your
family doctor immediately. You say you also have asthma. So do I.
This is something you need to take care of immediately. Also, you
shouldn't just put yourself on Zyrtec. You should be seen by your
doctor. Tell your doctor what symptoms you are having, for example,
sneezing, runny rose and coughing. You say, " how can I do the skin
prick test?" You can't do it yourself.
Hydroxyzine or "Atarax" is a antihistamine, and it seems like thats the first thing that doctors like to try a person out on.
It doesnt work that good for Extreme anxiety, but have "heard" that it works alright..."not great" for mild anxiety.
Its allot safer then Benzos "Xanax, Klonopin, Valium, Ativan" and non addicting.
Hiope it works for you.
One skin specialist told me it was from not cleansing properly, one GP said it was an allergic reaction and gave me antihistamines, another GP said it was Roscea and another said it was a form of Acne or Ezcema! I am taking a low dosage of Vibromysin which is meant to be a good antibiotic for skin/acne but these back spots are now getting worse.
Has anyone had anything like this? They never seem to go beyond my back or my forehead.
