xyzal

Avatar f tn I suspect you have an infection, or an allergic reaction, possibly to a fungus. The only way you'll know for sure at this point is to do a Sinus Flush, which will clear out your sinuses altogether, including your upper sinuses that the saline rinses never reach. The hypertonic saline should also shrink your turbinates and get some more drainage. If it doesn't work after 2 weeks, stop. Avoid getting your turbinates messed with unless it's the last resort. http://www.medhelp.
Avatar f tn Please help! I've had a low grade fever ranging from 99 to 101 for a year. It is every single day. Sometimes ibuprofen and tylenol won't break it. I've had labs for past year even including arthritis panel, hepatic panel, inflammation and your basic labs. Thyroid, even T3 and T4 tested for thyroid storms. I just recently had a CT of head and sinus, which revealed enlarged ventricles hut that was said to be genetic. Everything comes back normal.
Avatar n tn Thanks for that suggestion. Actually, we did try that - probably the toughest shopping I've ever done. It seems everything has some sort of dairy product in it. We went for 1 full month with absolutely no dairy. But, it didn't seem to make any difference. We have tried abstaining from antibiotics and his infections not only didn't go away, they got pretty severe.
Avatar f tn If my nose is stuffy also really depends on the weather, and my posture, if I am lying or sitting it is usually really stuffy, but if I am walking, running, doing sport I can breathe easily.
Avatar n tn Hello there, Welcome to the allergy forum. I see you joined Med help this month. You say you have taken the xyzal tablets for 5 years. That's a long time to be taking a medication. Here is what I would suggest. I would make an appointment with the doctor who prescribed the xyzal tablets for you. I would tell your doctor what you just shared in your post. That if you do not take the tablet for more than a day, you experience itchiness all over your body especially on your arms and legs.
Avatar f tn I know this is old, but I am just curious if you ever figured out what was wrong? I have such a similar situation, almost exact, and I am looking for any advice or guidance. Thanks!
Avatar f tn After 8 months of constant hives, lip swelling, eye swelling and finger swelling, i went to an allergist and got prescribed Xyzal. It worked great for the first 2 weeks and i was over joyed to have my life back! But the past few days, some hives have started to come back. I have been taking benadryl along with the xyzal as needed. I was wondering if I could take 2 xyzal a day instead o 1. The only other medication that I am on is ortho cyclin birth control.
Avatar n tn discharge with a dough like texture but no smell. I am taking xyzal but my appetite has slowly decreased every day. Now i am to the point that I dont want to eat at all. If I do eat all I want to eat is nuts. Also have been trying to get pregnant for 1 1/2 years after miscarriage.
Avatar f tn t already been teste for thyroid issues, it would be a good idea. My allergist put me on 2 xyzal twice a day, which was way to much. I took two doses and was weak, tired and had panic attacks. I also have celiac disease and am trying to figure out if the xyzal is gluten free. I was taking benadryl. I dont do well with any antihistamines. I was taking Benadryl. There is also an injection you can get.
Avatar n tn I checked my favorite drug site and they are the same. OTC Zyrtec is essentially the same medication. Some people say that Xyzal is a more 'purified" form of the chemical. You can try Zyrtec to see if it works as well. Take care.
Avatar f tn I have been on 4 rounds of different antobiotics, nasal sprays,mucinex dm, xyzal,delsem, robitussin, prednezone and I also take protonix for gerd. Nothing seems to work I am 37 years old and for the most part have been healthy. I had a chest X-ray last May 07. showed nothing then. Should I be worried.
Avatar m tn Xyzal Veramyst Singulair Multivitamin HCTZ Trying Sinupret+ since yesterday Sinus Rinse bottle Questions: 1. Mucus cultures taken by ENT show moraxella catarrhalis. I’ve read that m. catarrhalis colonizes children, and my problems started soon after having our first kid. Is there a connection? What can I do about it? 2. Should I get tested for food allergies? 3. Should I add anything to the Sinus Rinse bottle to prevent or stop infection? H2O2? Antiseptic? Xylitol? Plant extracts? Anti-fungal?
Avatar f tn The drugs that have been prescribed for you are universally common, very effective drugs. It is unfortunate that the trade names vary so much around the world, but the generic name should always be the same and almost always available, especially at large pharmacies: Montelukast (a so called anti-leukotriene drug), Budesonide an inhaled steroid, Formoterol as you state, a long acting beta agonist –bronchodilator drug.
Avatar f tn Every medication for allergy/sinus, even surgery, nothing is working for relief. Neil Med, ev. day to get out mucus If I do have varix ophlhalmic vein, (per NY neurointerventionalist...this year.) behind left eye. all doctors, say..." born with it?" 73yrs. to show up? and if so, nothing can be done? IS IT POSSIBLE TO HAVE CELLULITIS BEHIND MY EYES...HAVING CHRONIC/SINUSITIS ALL THE TIME? 2012:sinus surgery, 20 doctors 5-6 hospitals, including New York's best.
Avatar f tn Ask you doctor about the Cymbalta one. I had one but it was only for one month. And there are really good one for Xyzal, Astepro and Omnaris. The others, I don't know. Skmedlin's advice was good.
Avatar n tn the doctor put me on prednisone 10mg and i have only taken 4 tablets so far and i do not feel any relief-is there another med that would work faster? and what is xyzal 5mg?
Avatar f tn My Ct Scan and Mri reports say that swollen turbinate and paranasal sinus is clear.Allergy test show +3 for house dust mites.I feel stretch in nose which changes into pain.I feel breathless but actualy there is no problem phsyically.I am unable to drive as I feel breathless,uneasy,restless and tensed.I have no social life.ENT say thay your paranasal sinus are clear and turbinates are swollen due to allergy but not that much to block your air passage.24/7 when I am awake I think of breathing.
1528897 tn?1291833568 Its successor Xyzal has even fewer (same basic active chemical, but it is more purified). Allegra also has few side effects. Sometimes you have to try different meds to find one that works well with your metabolism for the best treatment with the fewest side effects. If you haven't tried sinus rinses, they are amazing for allergy control. I started them about 2 1/2 years ago and have only missed about 5 of the twice aday rituals. One was because I was in a power outage.
Avatar m tn He told me that is no need to go for blood analysis. Also he told me, at the moment he do not want to start a treatment with Cortisone medication. I suffer day and night! What to do? Please advice!
Avatar m tn Hello and welcome to the community. So sorry you are feeling so badly. I would start with a sinus rinse and eye wash. For the sinus rinse, I prefer a rinse bottle, but I don't know if you will be able to find one there. A netti pot will work. I use contact lens saline solution in an antique eye wash cup to wash my eyes. I usually follow that with a good OTC antihistamine eye drop. I like Zaditor.
Avatar n tn I took XYZal for 4 days for my Fall allergies. Once I stopped, I developed this maddening itching all over!!!! I went to my dermatologist who prescribed hydroxyzine capsules. The meds help somewhat....but also make me tired so I can only take at night!!! I have been suffering for FIVE weeks. Any idea when I can expect this reaction to end?? Or at least some tips on method of relief? PLEASE!!
Avatar f tn I hear your pain and am sorry for the health issues you have had to face. Had a very bad reaction to the H1N1 vacc and have been posting over on Chap. 2 and the Path to Recovery...it has been a nightmare for many. I have been flat on my back for 6 weeks and counting... I have read stories about the same reaction as you - hives and serious allergy like symptoms. Hope you are better now.
Avatar m tn For the past three months, I have had chest and sinus congestion, manifesting itself in hacking/coughing, wheezing, and expectorating thick yellow (various shades) mucus. I "sound" like I have a cold, but I don't. No other symptons have been present. Two regimens of antibiotics have proven to be ineffective. I am using daily the generic equivalent of Flonase, am also taking an antihistamine, Advair, and doing nasal irrigation with a neti pot.
Avatar n tn In most of the cases of chronic urticaria, the underlying pathology is idiopathic i.e. it is not linked to any cause. It is essential to rule out the presence of serious illnesses of which recurring hives can be a symptom. Examples are hepatitis, hyperthyroidism, lymphomas, collagen vascular diseases, and cancers of the rectum, kidneys and gastrointestinal tract. I feel that you should find out the cause of your chronic urticaria by ruling out the various conditions causing it. I hope it helps.
Avatar m tn Hi, I have mysterious allergy issue, for a long time I didn't know the cause of tingling/shaking, but now I do. My body tingles/shakes all over for day's, after I have a sneezing fit, always happens after I mow the lawn. I'll sneeze 10 times in a row, my nose becomes severly congested, then the symptoms begin. I even wear a mask, but still sneeze. No allergy med helps, I've tried em all, Loratadine, Claritin, XYZal, Benedryl, Zyrtec, etc.....
Avatar n tn Over 5 weeks ago, I took XYZal for 4 days to help with Fall allergies. Shortly after I stopped taking XYZ-al, I started itching all over my body. I went to my dermatologist. she narrowed it down to the allergy medication. Has anyone experienced this reaction? It has been 5 miserable weeks....I am on hydroxyzine pills which make me sleepy so I can only take at night to relieve itching/pinching. I have used multiple lotions. I called manufacturer who really were no help.
