antihistamine

Avatar n tn How long can i use antihistamine for my daughter aged 7 months to relieve her of the eczema itching.
Avatar f tn but if it seems to spread all over your body...definitely go to the doctor. It can be linked to a severe liver problem that can cause alot of problems. I hope everything stays good!
Avatar f tn Hi! I have had anxiety my entire life and just about two years ago I developed chronic hives. I never had allergies of any kind in the past and now by entire body explodes in hives, my lips swell. I have been to the ER a few times. Doctors cannot find a cause or cure. The only medication that works like a miracle for me is Doxepin so that is why I thought maybe this was related to anxiety or the fact that Doxepin is an H1 and H2 antagonist.
Avatar n tn If you use an antihistamine thinking it's an allergy when indeed it's really a heart problem, the antihistamine can make the heart worse, so you must get a diagnoses before you treat..... Licking air is usually Nausea or acid reflux....Post nasal drip normally causes a cough...Good luck & let us know what you find out....
Avatar f tn I have PUPPPS, It is safer to take the antihistamine because if you continue to scratch it and it gets infected that will be much more dangerous for your baby. As far as the cream I couldn't use it as well because I have extra sensitive skin and I would have an allergic reaction on top of it!
Avatar m tn I take EDTA a chelating agent like once a month. I don't have lead, but I have high iron. EDTA chelates heavy metals from the blood and body. But you have to take a good multiple vitamin afterwards as it also removes the good elements from your body. You might want to try it to see if it helps. I don't know what the ceramic clay could possibly contain to cause this problem, but it is dirt and could have something in it that caused an allergic reaction.
Avatar f tn Don't let other people make you feel that way. I know that hormones play a big role two because we get emotional. I stop caring if other people thinks I'm fat because I know I'm beautiful I don't care if I have 27 extra pounds on me. I am a pregnant lady and this is a heavy duty hehe :) be proud to be a mommy. Don't let your self-steem go down.

666921 tn?1254990618 I agree with Patsy about asking doctor - just wanted to pass this info. on - antihistamine supressess the allergic reaction - so though I read it on another forum - it still makes sense to me to try to avoid taking it - anyway asking the doc. about any 'drugs' is always a good idea.
Avatar f tn I am going back to get tested for the meds that the dentist needs to use to numb my mouth for a filling next week. A pharmacist told me about the dyes in meds and that might be what I am reacting too. It is funny that no doctors have ever mentioned that to me. If I stay away from antihistmaines which I have to do these next 7 days so I can have the allergy test then I do pretty go with hives unless I get too hot or stressed. My hands normally have hives and are itchy most days though.
Avatar f tn I know some people may say that the baby may has a genetic problem or like mental problem but I know that's not it because we already did the test for Down syndrome and saw a specialist for it so that was ruled out. I hope that it's just because he's big !
612551 tn?1450022175 I then checked and saw recommendations to use 1 - 2 mg per pound. As Wilson is j20+ pounds my does level was low. I have decided to continue giving him Benadryl but now one 25 mg capsule morning and night. Hope it keeps his paws and general itch problems under control. I assume Benadryl does not contain Prednisone, and wonder if that was a key ingredient to his recovery. I didn't check the "web" for prices on the prescription Temril, but assume it remains expensive.
Avatar f tn That's what I try to tell myself but I've never been one to put on weight or be able to keep it on. its just major me think that this is going to be another big baby or multiples. my first two daughters were 6lbs 6oz, & 6lbs 12oz. my last child was 8lbs 3oz. so yea I'm thinking maybe big baby. but I know of 4 sets of twins in my family and maybe its that. My next appointment isn't until the end of the.
Avatar m tn Till then, you should keep the area clean, wear lose comfortable clothes to avoid sweating, use a powder to keep the area dry and use calamine lotion at the sites. Oral antihistamine medications would help if the lesions are itchy. 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.
Avatar n tn My son is going on 2yrs old. After giving birth, I was at 200 pounds. I am now at 169, yaaaay me!!! However, I'm trying to get to 160 and it's been crucial!!! Any tips to lose those stubborn pounds??? Thanks in advance!
Avatar f tn She has always had very sensitive skin and I do remember when she was a child that I had to switch detergents because it gave her a rash. I used to use Tide but had to switch to Sunlight because of the rash and she never had a problem after that except when she took a bath with Body Shop Raspberry Bubble bath. That make her skin peel. We kind of forgot about those experiences until this came along because that was when she was a little child and now she is a 26.
11970715 tn?1422495509 I'm 27 weeks. Last 35-40 pounds finally gained 5 pounds this week.. I was on a strict diet I guess you can say. A spoon full of ice cream every 45 minutes, eat something every 10 minutes, drink half a glass of water every 30 minutes and I was told to only eat what I could keep down which was cereal, spaghetti, and mac and cheese. I'm so excited to have gained 5 pounds! If your doctor isn't worried then you don't need to worry.
8748289 tn?1399667365 Same here I measured 2 and a half weeks ahead. They was monitoring the fluid but at 35 weeks they weren't concerned anymore. He measured 7 and a half pounds at 35 weeks.
Avatar f tn To gain weight you need to increase your protein intake. I suggest a high protein shake, such as body builders drink. Take it as a supplement not as a meal. This works to lose weight if one is too fat (as a meal replacement) and will cause weight gain for those that are too thin. Contrary to what some might think, weight bearing ie weight lifting, builds muscle mass and increases weight also. This does not mean you need to look like a male body builder, but it does help with weight gain.
Avatar f tn Here are the facts: the incidence of thyroid diseases in the general population is about 6%. However, the incidence of thyroid diseases in diabetics is about 10.8% suggesting a possible link between the two disorders. It has been thought for some time that thyroid dysfunction may affect diabetes. Thyroid dysfunction (hyperthyroidism) is linked to worsening glycemic control and increased insulin resistence, both strong indicators in pre-diabetes and obvious problems in diabetes.
