Common Questions and Answers about Epipen and benadryl
epipen
Hi, as your symptoms are improving with benadryl and cortisone, it could most probably be due to an allergic reaction. Also, as your symptoms worsen during the day another probability is frontal sinusitis, gravity helps drain secretions from this sinus so the symptoms usually worsen as the day progresses. Please check with your doctor regarding this and continue with your allergy shots. Good luck with your therapy. Regards.
Hi, welcome to the forum, as such epipen are not available yet. Epipen delivers a measured dose of epinephrine (also known as adrenaline) using autoinjector technology, most frequently for the treatment of acute allergic reactions to avoid or treat the onset of anaphylactic shock. In certain cases it can be used to stop local bleeding.
Alternatively, the same drug can be given by the local health care provider or you need to go to emergency department.
I took some benadryl and the sore throat/ drip went away. Later in the morning I started experiencing diarrhea. Nothing horrible, but it made me decide to go to urgent care. They said it was an allergic reaction and prescribed an epipen. I declined because I have no insurance.
Since then I've seen another doctor who thinks its hsv 1. However I have not had any of the other symptoms of hsv. I've not had blistering, swollen glands, flu like symptoms. Any of that.
I was swollen within seconds and was confused and turned pale. I stuck myself with the epipen and called the ambulance. I was in the hospital for two days while they worked on me. The doctor said the epipen saved my life. He also said if you have pvc's the epipen poses little threat as the allergic reaction is much more serious. When I stuck myself my heart rate shot up and i could feel the pvc's jumping.
This weekend was horrible, I had two reaction to the water, on friday it was with rain, and had to give me 2 shoots of Epipen, and than I was better but shaking badly from the Epipen, and yesturday just by sweat I did a reaction and again the Epipen but just once, and I didnt even went to the hospital after, his that dangerous if I dont go???? And his it dangerous I have to many shoots?????
She put a wet facecloth on my face and it was red a swollen, and my saturation was going down, had angioadema, hard time to breath, and some blood test too, If I go in the water in a acute reaction I would die she said, and to relief the symptoms his to take my epipen and some Benadryl, Reactine and Zantac, and sometimes Atarax.
My lips may or may not itch and my throat may start to swell. Twice I went to the ER and the other times oral Benadryl alleviated the symptoms.
The allergist question if two foods combined would be the culprit. I have eaten all of these foods my entire life. Nothing has changed.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. I now carry an EpiPen in the event the Benadryl does not work.
2 nights ago I went to dinner with friends , immediately after eating I felt so bloated , I hurt, within the next few hours, my neck started to hurt and I developed a migraine headache, finally I threw up and within an hour, my symptoms were gone. Do you know if this garlic smell could be an allergic reaction also??
I'm having the following symptoms whenever I ingest certain types of food: the inside of my mouth (cheeks/tongue) swells and it's painful to swallow. It started out happening everytime I ate something with mayonnaise. But I just recently had a reaction within 35 minutes after eating Lay's salt & vinegar potato chips and on another occasion, I haven't been able to pinpoint the food source.
In Jan I traveld out of the US to the dominican republic. Two days upon my return I broke out in hives. This was before eating breakfast. My allergist gave me allegra 180mg twice a day, a medrol shot and I had taken benadryl. The bloodwork showed an IGE level of 1400 but didn't specify the allergen. In March I began having shortness of breath and was hyperventilating., From there I had chronic diahrea. I had fatigue for weeks.
I don't know if this will help, but my boyfriend started suffering from random swellings a couple of years ago.
The first was his tonsils, but he's since had swellings on his lips, tongue, face, back, arms, hands, stomach, legs, knees, feet... sometimes it'll start in one place and move to the other, eg. left side of face to right side.
He's been to allergy specialists and had blood tests, but they can't find a cause, and the only trigger they found was stress.
Hi,
Pine nuts (piñon) are the edible seeds of from the family Pinaceae. The pine bears seeds in cones and the cones that open upon maturity and spread their seeds are usually the female pine trees. The seed itself is almost entirely endosperm. The cedar nut is the seed of the Swiss pine. This link may be interesting to read: http://www.soupsong.com/fnuts.html
If you had anaphylaxis reaction before, it is always good to carry a identification bracelet or epi pen with you.
It gets very hot and bright red and stays there for 1-3 hours and then returns to its natural pale color. This usually happens a few times a week. It doesn't seem to be affected by temperature and I haven't been able to correlate it to anything else. The skin itself itchy and doesn't feel dry ... or anything besides really, really warm.
Have you heard of anything like this before? Should I be worried?
