How long can i use antihistamine for my daughter aged 7 months to relieve her of the eczema itching.
What kind were you taking?
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?
DSM-IV does not classify medications. Coricidin is an antihistamine, not a mental health medication.
I'm 23 weeks and ever since I hit 20 weeks I keep getting a rash on my face and arms, I've seen a doc one tried antihistamine and creams they have put it down to pregnancy..... Has anyone else had this happen??? If so has it gone away???
She said I need to be really careful as it can be a hormonal liver problem in pregnancy that needs medication. She gave me some cortisone cream to tide me over..
My next appointment is tomorrow. So I'm hanging. Apparently ill need to take a blood test for liver function.
Hopefully all goes well. Cold showers will help too.
Of the currently available preparations, chlorpheniramine has been recommended as the first generation antihistamine of choice for use during pregnancy. Based on the information available, loratadine or cetirizine may be considered the second generation antihistamines of choice. Pseudoephedrine is a nasal decongestant which can be used for allergic rhinitis. Glucorticoids when used locally is also safe in pregnancy. You need to consult gynecologist before starting above drugs.
Cold remedies that contain alcohol
The decongestants pseudoephedrine and phenylephrine, which can affect blood flow to the placenta

Here's one for the books. My daughter has had a allergic reaction to an oral antihistamine she took for what appeared to be hives just below the right side of her derriere. This little bout of hives were taking their time going away and so she thought by taking the antihistamine it would help the process.
Hi, my dermatologist has prescribed me a antihistamine for my itching and wants me to use it for 4-6 weeks. The med is called hydroxzine. I am concerned because i never heard of anyone using antihistamine for that long. Will this severly affect my liver? Please help!
Hi I'm 38 years old and pregnant with my first I'm 9 weeks today and have had an itch all over mostly upper body from the weeks. I've been to doctor and had bloods liver kidney thiroid checked and all clear doc said is probably hormones. As I'm only one weeks I'm limited to what I can take but I have now been given my second antihistamine and I'm still scratching like mad. I do get some relief but it's worse at night and I'm not sleeping well.
I have had that off and on this whole pregnancy. I take antihistamine for 1-2 days and it clears up.
Veramyst™ (fluticasone furoate) is a nasal inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) and, strictly speaking, not an antihistamine. As an anti-inflammatory medicine, however, has the potential to reduce histamine mediated inflammation, in a non-specific fashion. That it is not an antihistamine is evident by the very many studies of combination therapy, the combination of fluticasone with an histamine 2 (H2) blocker non-sedating antihistamine.
Any other moms having pregnancy rash ?! Anything I can do or put on it to make it go away?
Do not mix antihistamines though such as an oral antihistamine and spray. Ocean Spray does not have an antihistamine and will simply dry you out and is safe to use with an antihistamine.
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.
Paracetamol dont work and i am unable to take anything else. I have been to the doctors today and they cannot give me anything because of the pregnancy. He did say that my nasal passage was very red and inflamed.
Is there anything i can do to sort the prblem out with my nasal passage which in turn will hopefully clear the congestion up.
