antihistamine eye ointment

Hello Jerry_NJ, Just finished reading your comments. Last year I had an eye infection. It started out as an itchy eye in my right eye. It was also very uncomfortable. I decided to go to the doctor about it. I actually went to an after hours clinic instead of going to my regular doctor because I didn't need an appointment to see a doctor at the walk in clinic. The doctor examined my eye and gave me a prescription eye ointment.

Hey all! Please help me out! I have problems with my eyes for about four months now. The persisting symptoms are photophobia and painful eyes. When i wake up, my right eye is painful and pink. Pink goes away fast but the pain generally remains (sometimes all day). I take gel lubricant and artificial tears, antihistamine + mast stabiliser eye drops; i've taken care for my matress, pillows and other »risk« material. (to cope with my allergy to mites).

He came home with OptiVet drops, antibiotic eye ointment, atropine ophthalmic ointment, and Rimadyl. He has not had the atropine ointment in about 48 hours and his pupil is still very dilated. Is this normal?

After making sure she has washed all of the detergent off her skin I would suggest applying an ointment such as E45 cream and maybe take an antihistamine to stop the itching.If it doesn't improve quickly she should see her doctor as she may need a prescription cream.I hope your wife is feeling better soon.

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!

The only eye ointment I am familiar with is called Ottomune (or something close to that - I can look it up, but haven't). It is for "dry eye" which can lead to loss of eye sight. I use it twice a day, every day. The symptom that led to the dry eye diagnosis was the production of an eye "film" I'll call it, not sure it might also be called "weepy".

My son was just stung by a wasp on his eyebrow and it has caused his eye to swell shut. The ice didn't really help the swelling but he is not complaining of anything besides it being sore. When should the swelling subside and is there anything in a wasp venom that could affect his vision? What should we look for as the night/a.m. progresses? thank you!

She did culture the eye and prescribed two types of medication. One was an antihistamine eye drop (began with a P), the other mediciation to treat it if its the bacterial conjunctivitis is doxycycline. When I went home, I researched doxycycline and was surprised to learn that it treats chlaymdia! I am almost positive I don't have this and am wondering why she would prescribe this. Can this treat other type of bacterial conjunctivitis? Thanks!

I woke up the this morning with a small patch of little itchy red blisters under my left eye on my cheek bone, I have never had this before in my life and they do not itch constantly just when they get touched or something. They are not sore unless i accidently rub them and it is very very small. I have been putting Cortraid ointment in it all day and it seems to help. What could this be?

This is 15 years later and now its back, I have chapped skin under my nose and all around my mouth and lips and also under my eye, it almost looks like I have a black eye because of the redness and swelling. It is now on my hands and fingers. My symptoms are, itchiness, chapping, red and inflamed, cracked.

I have recently returned to the lab approx a month ago and have had the same reaction again (hence the assumption that the allergy is to something in the lab) and took the same antihistamine and used over the counter antihistamine drops which had no effect. I have been prescribed fluorometholone eyedrops and tobramycin ointment which have cleared up the allergy. I am now faced with trying to figure out what I could be allergic to? and what can I do to manage this so that I can finish my work?

You can apply some calamine lotion at the rash as it will help in soothing the skin. You can take some OTC oral antihistamine medications like Benadryl or Claritin and see if it helps. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.

So get an examination done by a surgeon to confirm the diagnosis.Till that time,try an over-the-counter (OTC) cream or ointment containing hydrocortisone (Cortaid, Preparation H),but it is to be applied sparingly to the affected area. A protective ointment that contains zinc oxide (Desitin, Balmex) also may help. If your symptoms are worse at night, take an antihistamine like benadryl to reduce itching until topical treatments take effect. I hope it helps. Take care and regards.

What you need to do is to stop using anything that causes an allergic reaction and to apply antihistamine cream or ointment to the affected parts. Ask your pharmacist for advice in choosing an over-the-counter preparation.

I am female and every once in a while I get this round, red welt around my anus that is painful. I tried to keep tabs on what I ate that day to see if anything sets if off. Usually using a diaper rash ointment on it overnight relieves it, but since it is symmetrical I don't think it is considered a rash. Could it mean more of a problem or just try it as I am.

I mentioned the allergic reaction to the gynecologist but she said that the rash on my lips and the Fluconazole were unrelated and gave me some antihistamine tablets to treat the new rash. After having used the prescribed medications, I woke up the next morning to the same itchy red lips and tightness in my throat. I stopped taking the medicine she had prescribed, took the remainder of the antihistamine tablets and the rash and tightness once again went away.

Yesterday, I asked: Can antihihistamine Eye Drops, enter your system through your eyes? While the question seems somewhat idiotic, I am highly allergic to antihistamines. They knock me out for extended periods of time, by making me lethargic, and extremely drowsy and sluggish. I used an antihistamine eye drop yesterday, and, shortly, had all the above symptoms. My question is simply, can one's system absorb antihistamines through the use of antihistamine eye drops?

I first noticed this last Sunday afternoon. It started with my ear. It was red and itching a lot. I put some antibiotics ointment during the week and it hasnt helped at all. It's still very itchy, super red and it's spreading. I've been calling dermatologist but no one can take me until next week. What should I do until then?

Try an over-the-counter (OTC) cream or ointment containing hydrocortisone (Cortaid, Preparation H),but it is to be applied sparingly to the affected area. A protective ointment that contains zinc oxide (Desitin, Balmex) also may help. If your symptoms are worse at night, pls take an antihistamine like benadryl to reduce itching until topical treatments take effect. If the symptoms persist then pls consult a dermatologist. Hope it helps.

I had an itchy left eye (not much in the right eye) for several days. Oral antihistamine did not work, neither did some dated eye moistener (not sure if fresh would work better) and one other OTC eye drop. Got no relief. Next I tried Similasan Allergy Eye Relief. My eye improved immediately and after three or four days of using these drop 3 or 4 times a day and the itch is gone. I have used the drops only once a day, some days not at all. Not sure it was allergic or something else.

How long can i use antihistamine for my daughter aged 7 months to relieve her of the eczema itching.

I personally don't take antihistamine but just some advice I read that - antihistamine suppresses the immune system - never thought about it before - they work like steroids - some very good advice on another forum was - do not take antihistamine if you have lyme I am sure some of you already knew this but just thought I would mention it

Eczema can come and go and that might be what this is. Try AD ointment (which is for babies for diaper rash but people use it for tatoos) at night and put some gloves on over the ointment. See if that makes it any better.

On the third day, I applied ointment myself. I realized my right eye started to become pink eye. On the fourth day when I woke up, my left eye totally couldn't open and then able to open after a while. After I closed my left eye for a long time, my left eyelid was stick together and it dropped tears after I opened my left eye. Later I found out my left eye felt pain when seeing light.

Try an over-the-counter (OTC) cream or ointment containing hydrocortisone (Cortaid, Preparation H),but it is to be applied sparingly to the affected area. A protective ointment that contains zinc oxide (Desitin, Balmex) also may help. If your symptoms are worse at night, please take an antihistamine like Benadryl to reduce itching until topical treatments take effect.
