Avatar m tn My 4 yr.old son had an allergic reaction to Omnicef. Hives all over and swollen hands, arms and feet. It's been 18 days and still gets a slight case of the hives . Within the last week( 3 times) he's had leg pain(muscel pain) joint pain. He has a hard time walking, usually the next day he can, it lasts anywhere from 12-24 hours. The 3 times he's had the leg pain he's either been swimming or riding a bike, took him to the hospital, blood work, x-rays and urine all came back fine.

Avatar n tn He was put on amoxil and had an allergic reaction so he has been taking omnicef. The Dr told us this week that the omnicef has not done anything and that he was going to give him a round of antibiotic shots. So far my son has had 2 of the 3 shots. My first question is how quickly do these shots work? My other question is: Is there some underlying problem that is causing these ear infections, something more serious? He has not had any other type of infection i.e.

Avatar f tn So I had an allergic reaction to summers eve feminine wash. It's very painful...I figured this would happen I'm allergic to just about anything you put near downtown. Sorry for the tmi...but does any one know any thing that might alleviate the pain?
Avatar n tn From your post it seems to an allergic reaction. It could be an allergic response to a food product or an environmental allergen like dust, smoke, pollen etc. Only an allergy test will help in pin pointing the exact cause of the allergic reaction. Regarding the numbness and muscle twitching, please get a blood sugar test done to rule out diabetes. Also Vitamin B6 and B12 deficiency can cause numbness in various parts of the body.
Avatar f tn For approximately 9 wks now I have been having an allergic reaction to something. I get welts all over my body which are extremelty itchy.

Avatar m tn Two days into it her left ear did the same thing, the base of her neck became irritated and her scalp became itchy as well. We took her to the doctor and he is treating it as an allergic reaction. It has come down a bit with benadryl but it's still here,very itchy and it has spread to her cheeks. One week and 3 days into she isn't much better and I'm wondering if it could be something else?
Avatar m tn This is swelling of the deeper layers of the skin due to an allergic reaction. The reaction occurs more commonly on the face around the lips and near the eyes. Therapy lies in identifying the allergens and avoiding them and antihistamines. Its difficult to predict what the allergen was. So, maintain a diary and note down your symptoms. This will help to narrow down the search. Please consult your primary care physician for further evaluation.
Avatar n tn Going to replace interferon with Pagasis to see if I have an allergic reaction with it. itching is unbearable. Is pegasas that different that I might not get the reaction and i might not get the drug for a while.
Avatar n tn I am having an allergic reaction to somthing and the only symptom i have is itching no rash or redness has appeared. I was wondering what type of reaction this is and possibly some information on it. thanks!
Avatar f tn This is the second time this has happened to me within the last month. I have been having an allergic reaction to something unknown. The first time I was at work and it started as a rash on my arms then turned into hives on my chest then the third day my lips were numb. I saw my gyno and she said just take benadryl and monitor. Well ive taken it pretty much everyday since and the rash went away but my eyes have been the problem now. The become so itchy and I cant stop rubbing them.
Avatar m tn Allergic reactions just happen. One day your body may tolerate a certain medication or food just fine ... and then another day you have swelling, itching, hives, swelling and trouble breathing! Yes, it's that quick sometimes. Your reaction time must be quick as well. As caregiver said, you need to carry either a 'epi-pen' or whatever medication(s) you and your Dr agree would be best in case of an allergic episode! Best of luck - take care!
Avatar f tn The rash is spreading over my body and it itches like crazy!!!!! I think it’s an allergic reaction but I don’t know what to. I’ve been having to use an inhaler more as well.
Avatar n tn I would highly recommend you speak with your doctor, that's an unusual side effect. It could be an allergic reaction. I don't see anywhere that there is a reaction like that. Are you taking any other meds of any kind including OTC? Do you have allergies in general? My dad gets swollen lips when he is in contact with an allergen. Sounds like it may be the same thing, but do check with your doctor. Hang in there!
Avatar n tn How long would it take to have an allergic reaction to a topically applied cosmetic treatment? I have had a reaction to something and all I can think of is that I used some new products containing natural herbs and fruit enzymes etc, however this was almost 48 hours ago. My symptoms are itching and bumpy, slightly reddened skin on my face.
Avatar m tn You would expect an allergic reaction to appear shortly after exposure. Maybe you have a fungal infection that is caused by the spermicide. You should see your doctor.
Avatar m tn It lasted about 3 weeks and subsided after using potent steroid cream and antihistamines. The biopsy showed that it was an allergic reaction to medication. I did not take any new meds, have been on my most recent med since March, and have not changed since. Why would there be a reaction to meds and then clear up if nothing was changed? The doctor had no answer.
