Avatar f tn it could be allergies or maybe mono? if you have not had this before it can present as sore throat that is ongoing but is also generally along with fever, and tiredness and you had fever, a mono spot test if you have it would show up positive 2 weeks after symptoms first apparantly.
Avatar f tn How do y'all deal with cat allergies?!?!? I've just recently become super allergic to my best friends cat's and I wanna be able to go see her without her cats killing me!!!

1283791 tn?1276818314 My grandmother and i both cried when we said good bye to the cat and I have a terrible feeling in the pit of my stomach for making this decision. My question is how is my cat going to feel? He hasnt been away from me since i got him when he was 4 weeks old. Is he going to feel like I abandon him? Will he die of a broken heart? ANd am I always going to feel like I shouldnt have given him away? I miss him like crazy but know this was for the best. Has anyone else experienced this kind of greif?
531835 tn?1215615037 If your boyfriend is still allergic to cats then he can go in for allergy shotsImmunotherapy gradually make a person more and more resistant to the cat allergens.This is one of the most effective treatments because it treats the cause and doesn’t just hide the symptoms. Hope it helps.Take care and pls do keep me posted on how you are doing or if you have any additional doubts.Kind regards.
Avatar n tn If your cat is already on a good flea control such as Advantage or Revolution, then parasites are less likely. Options to treat allergies are to continue to treat symptoms with medications (okay if symptoms only occur occasionally and your cat only needs 1-2 steroid injections per year), or to identify and treat the underlying cause.
Avatar f tn I feel like the house is contaminated. Dander is so hard to get rid of. My suggestion is for him to go away for a couple of weeks, maybe out west for some clean dry desert air but he refuses. Literally the only thing they haven’t tried is getting away from the cat for a while. I guess my main question is, can extreme allergies cause the swollen gland and subsequent nerve pain?
8778737 tn?1413827423 t really developed any new allergies except my dogs hair makes me break out from time to time. But the allergies I do have have gotten worse (lavender, nickel, basil).
440120 tn?1211724496 I am going to keep my distance just for a while and let my daughter sleep with it...the hives I have acquired are quite painful and never seem to go away until I take the trip to the ER and get the three shots. I am seeing and Allergist tomorrow and hope to get better news.
3107761 tn?1341539856 Wow. Thank you for the tips & links! The blood rarely shows up in her stool or diarrhea and the bleeding comes from her rectum. She has been off Purina for about 2 years. She doesn't eat or drink from plastic bowls. After reading some of your links, I may start with a hypo-allergenic food. While i thought http://www.tasteofthewildpetfood.com/ was one of the best dry cat foods, it wasn't hypo-allergenic. I also may try to increase her water intake by some tuna water.
Avatar n tn Hyperpigmentation . What could I do to make it go away? or how long will it take to go away. ive had it for about 7 months .
7165624 tn?1395647767 Im severely allergic to my cat, i know awful, and NO i will NOT give him up he is my first baby and will be forever, but i was told zyrtec D and benadryl.
Avatar f tn Its been said that kids who grow up with pets are less likely to develop allergies to them ...now idk how accurate that is but we got pets when my first was like 2 months old and have had them ever since and she's just fine...
193137 tn?1367880063 It was after this that the doctor told him not to take NSAIDs. He thinks that perhaps he may not be allergic to NSAIds anymore and wanted to try taking half a pill. Is it possible for people to no longer be allergic to a drug? Can doctors test for this? Thanks!
Avatar n tn Many people with pet allergies develop an immunity to the animal they are routinely exposed to, but remain allergic to other animals. You may eventually develop and immunity to your new cat, but no telling how long that would take. The cheapest and most effective thing would be to give the cat away, but that is hard to do. I would recommend Zyrtec as a antihistamine (allergy stop tablet), sinus rinse bottler (available in pharmacies).
Avatar f tn i have a deviated septum and both ears hurt, sinuses wont drain, i get infections, my doctor wont keep me on antibiotics for longer then a month, so infections comes back even worse, now my ears hurt i get soreness by cheekbones and eyebrows, and even back of my head from left ear to right ear is sore, feels like bruises, i finally went to ent and without even asking me anyquestions she said i have menieres disease, cause my hearing test showed i cant hear certain high pitch sounds, and my eardr

Avatar f tn Now he has licked the skin bare and the sores are getting really red. He had these about a month ago and he ate/drank fine. Then they seemed to go away for a bit but now came back worse. I noticed he hasn't been eating much this week and barely moving around, just laying around licking. I try to stop him from licking and tried to bandage it up a bit but since it's hind leg and belly it's hard to bandage.
Avatar m tn itching ears(if there are NO mites) are caused by allergies...and allergies are caused mainly by grains in the food, change to a GRAIN FREE CANNED food. NO dry food and these symptoms would most likely go away.. http://www.medhelp.org/posts/Cats/CAT-Allergies/show/1967931 ps.I DO NOT agree with the so called natural remedies mentioned, these can be ingested when a cat licks themselves and many products like these are dangerous...
326352 tn?1310994295 Does anyone have any suggestions on how to help de-allergize a cat instead of getting rid of the cat? Our 3 1/2 yr old will probably fall to pieces if we end up having to give the cat away because her sister is severely allergic to him. To keep this in persective, I'm allergic to cats also, but manage mine fairly well and have grown out of mine, mostly. There are some products for bathing and for spraying around the house.
118225 tn?1278654940 Allergy desensitization shots or immunotherapy are an obvious and very effective way to work around a cat allergy. Immunotherapy will gradually make a person more and more resistant to the allergens. The goal of immunotherapy is to increase the tolerance 10 times. This is one of the most effective treatments because it treats the cause and doesn’t just hide the symptoms. http://purebredcatbreedrescue.org/allergy_to_cats.
Avatar f tn Allergies aren't hereditary but they can come and go. Some people outgrow allergies and others get them when they are older. My little brother had a lot of allergies when he was a kid (including pet dander) and outgrew them, while I didn't have them as a child but became more prone to them as an adult.
Avatar n tn hi, my mother has had a cough that just wont go away she went to the doctor and he said it was allergies but the medicine has done anything and her cough seems to go aways when she turns off the A/C in her house but when she goes anywhere else where there is A/C her cough starts up again. her eyes get blood shot and she get dry throat and can get that cough to go away she's been like this for a good 6 months now. she also tells me she get a sharp pain in the heel of her foot.
1232362 tn?1333135406 I was hoping you would come along and answer - thanks FM. Don't you also give Akira a little Zyrtec?
Avatar n tn My 9 year old son has had a dry cough for 2 weeks with no other symptoms. He has not been sick or been around anyone sick. We have 2 cats that we have had for 3 years with no problems but I'm hoping he has not developed allergies to them. He went to his grandparents over the weekend and they don't have any cats but the cough DID NOT get better. He also coughs just as much at school where there is no animals.
