I have had a endoscopy and was told I have a fairly serious case of this disease, which is why I have swallowing difficulties and I given a prescription for flovent to treat it.
However, I now have a $4000 deductible on my health insurance, and can no longer afford to spend $200 or $250 for the flovent inhaler.
Canadian versions of the inhaler are slightly cheaper, but not by much.
I notice that the ingredient that in Flonase is the same (fluticasone propionate) as is found in Flovent..
For now, keep peanut products away from him and read labels and watch for warnings. There are labels warning of products that are not peanut products that say that they are made on the same equipment as where peanuts were processed. Be on the alert for this, depending on how severe his allergy is.
I'm sure your son's pediatrician or allergist must have also tested for all other nut allergies. Be on the look out even if he tested negative for the other nut allergies.
I also suffer from a lifetime of sever allergies and allergy induced asthma. I have been sick for 3 weeks and now have pnemonia. I am on my second round of antibiotics and my doc wants me to re-start my flovent 2x/day.
I have read that steroids are bad for treatment and can actually prevent the treatment from working...is this true? Is there any documented evidence I can show to my doctor one way or the other?
I have a niece that has a peanut allergy and a nephew that has a severe peanut allergy. He carries an epi pen with him but he is in his twenties and has had the peanut allergy since he was a child. My niece is only five years old. Her mom is not allergic to peanuts , but my niece is allergic to peanuts. You have to be careful of ice cream too as this could contain traces of peanuts. My niece's mom is extremely careful.
ok so here is the story, its early spring, i always get allergies and 2 years i was told i had asthma,so i was put on meds to control it. This year i completely forgot to start my meds, so i had a minor asthma attack. i I went to the doctor. He put me on flovent, my albuterol, also to keep taking my allergy pills, Zyrtec. So i started feeling better.. Im a 28 year old, im working out alot cause i know im a bit overweight. im a runner.
Flovent puffer 125mcg twice and Beclomethansone Aq 50% mcg nasal spray.
I still have severe itch behind my testicals, it comes and it goes, with Medication help or without.Regardless what I eat or not eat, nuts, cahews etc...
The very itchy under arm red spot it disappers for a few days after I use the cream, then it comes back in full force.
I do wash and change cloths, I do not use deodorent soap or any other deodorent, I am 69 years old relatively healthy, my bed is very clean.
I'm sorry your daughter is going through this. My 3 year old son was diagnosed late this summer with EE. He's been on flovent since August, and it's really working towards getting him to eat and gain weight. However it's turned him into a very aggressive, very mean little boy. Does anyone know of any other medicine out there that won't cause such a reaction?
m allergic to grass and almost every tree, dust and animal my allergist says but the test sheet does not show elevated results on a few he says. Also taking singular, pantroprazol, Claritin and flovent. My allergy test from 2014 to my current one shows my allergies increased and I developed increased allergies to existing allergies and got a few more.
I had a pulmonologist perform a lung function test and everything came back perfect.
Flovent is a corticosteroid for asthma. I take albuterol, a fast acting inhaler, that does raise my heart rate for about 10-15 minutes. A normal response to the medication. Since Flovent is a steroid, it shouldn't normally raise your rate. However, you may have a sensitivity to that particular medication. You should talk to your doctor about it, see if s/he can prescribe a different one for you.
Peanut butter is good for u and baby.
He is fine now but what I do not understand is that just last week, we were eating junk food such as snickers, reesees cups, and McDonalds and he was just fine. And just today he was at school and he ate regular peanuts and responded to them so terribly. I thought if someone has an allergy to peanuts, wouldn't it be bad for them to consume products that consists of peanuts? He didn't get sick last week from eating that food, but he got really sick today. I am totally confused.
Hello and hope you are doing well.
It could indicate an allergic reaction. More so if repeated episodes have occurred with consumption of peanut butter. Allergic reactions are mediated by IgE antibodies, which are released on exposure to a particular allergen. These in turn activate mast cells and lead to a local response or systemic anaphylaxis. Antihistamines may help to relieve the symptoms. It may help to maintain a food dairy and keep monitoring your symptoms.
To protect the girl, students in her class at Edgewater Elementary School are required to wash their hands before entering the classroom in the morning and after lunch, and rinse out their mouths, Wait said, and a peanut-sniffing dog checked out the school during last week's spring break.
Wait said school leaders will meet this week with parents to address concerns and try to halt inaccurate rumors that children's mouths were being wiped with disinfectant.
The asthma popped up around age 21. Had CT of lungs, xrays all normal. Ige level normal. Allergy tests show dust mites, and eggs. Can you recommend any other tests to confirm this is asthma? Is this cortisteroid dose rather high for adult onset asthma? Will i eventually need a higher dosage as I get older?
Switched up steriod to inhaled Flovent 44 instead of nebulizer and albuterol qid. No results. Chest x-ray and blood allergy (why not at this point) ordered and clear.
Follow up with Pulm realized no coughing at night and diagnosed with Protracted Bronchitis. Treated 3 weeks of Augmentin 500mg BID x three weeks. Nasal and throat cultures test negative except for rhinovirus.
To give some background - I have always had stomach problems. As a child I was frequently constipated and had regular stomach upsets. In college I would regularly feel very sick, and I had rashes near my elbows on my arms, and my eyes would constantly be swollen. I have also always had weight problems, and I am struggling to maintain a healthy weight right now. I am also constantly exhausted, but I have just learned to sleep 10 hours a night.
The common existing food allergens are Peanut flour, peanut butter, powdered egg white, Powdered/fresh milk Soy milk, soy flour Wheat breads, flour etc.
As allergic reactions are IgE mediated, blood tests will show increase in these levels secondary to a food allergy. The problem with the food allergy testing is sometimes the amount of food they challenge with may be not sufficient to elicit any allergic reactions.
