Avatar n tn You are allergic to the organic molecule to which the iodine is bound, and this molecule is different for topical iodine skin preps vs shrimp vs IV x-ray dye. You can be allergic to any or all of these things, but allergy to x-ray dye is chemically very different from allergy to topical skin preps containing iodine or shell fish.
7757724 tn?1396279586 With younger children, especially if they are in daycare it gets even more confusing because most times one cold will start to clear and they will be exposed to a new cold and develop symptoms quite soon after, which often leads moms to think that they were getting better then got worse, when actually it's a new cold.
Avatar f tn I am 7 weeks and have either a cold or allergies, not sure which. Is it safe to use cough drops?
Avatar f tn Ok, so I get red dots which depending on how cold i am could turn into red patches usually it does not even have to be cold just with the wind blowing and it brushes my skin or if i change temperatures for example if im in the parking lot of a grocery store once i go in the store i start breaking out really really bad I avoid shorts because it is embarrassing when people stare when out in public places .
Avatar f tn Out toddler is allergic to soy. He is also allergic to peanuts and should avoid pineapple, strawberries, green beans, & of course other nuts. Would it be harmful to him if there are soy products in the house? Namely products that might contain soy lecithin or soybean oil in the last few ingredients. Obviously these foods would not be given to him, but is it necessary to remove these items? We do not know what his exact reaction to soy is, in the past it was a few hives around the mouth.
Avatar f tn I feel your pain. :( I've been sick for a little over a month now with a cold/flu/allergies. I'm FINALLY starting to clear up a little bit, but I still have a cough that wakes the dead. Cough drops helped me a whole lot, then my ob told me that I can take benadryl (which will also help me sleep) I took it for 2 nights and started feeling better (coughing up mucus, throat wasn't hurting anymore, etc). Hopefully you'll find something that works for you.
Avatar m tn Hi allergenic, I just finished reading your comments. You said you were holding a cat the other day, stroking and petting the cat. You also stated you had no asthma. Are you aware that male cats have more dander than female cats. I know this because I had allergies too to several different things. I 'd like to say that your allergies are getting better, but I doubt it. I'm guessing you've had an allergy test this is why you know that you are have animal dander allergies.
9163191 tn?1405181980 People are very opinionated when it comes to breastfeeding vs formula and no meds vs epidural. Just ignore them. If you know you are doing the best for you & your baby then dont let them get under your skin.
1370830 tn?1280176503 Glad you are getting some help for this. Scary!! I had a thought about allergies. My son has allergies that are all year long but worse in spring and fall. He makes chortling sounds and strange noises in his sleep due to itching feeling. It does make him more tired and that indeed can lead to being cranky/behavioral issues. good luck let us know what the specialist says.
Avatar f tn s history ... with these kids they probably also suffer seasonal allergies and their mucous membranes are being challeneged already .... the antibiotic for a true infection can only help in the risk vs beneft dept. And, guess what . Jeff (9) gets these infections, too ..........and about to rupture b4 he says, Mom my ear hurts .. ah doy .. is that why your behavior is off the wall! And, he, too, like GW has known pain his whole baby/toddler life and blocks it to get by. Sad, isn't it.

Avatar f tn No cold sores are present it's just the person does get them
Avatar f tn I have been having episodes of lips swelling and facial swelling for the past 20 years. I have been tested for all allergies and they told me that they could not find anything that I am allergic to....recently had a severe facial swelling and the doctor in the ER mentioned HAE. I am being tested for HAE, but does anyone have any information regarding this rare disease? I understand that traditional methods of epi-pens, benedryl and prednisone does not help!! A little nervous here......
7406493 tn?1453999212 I suffer from seasonal allergies as well but unfortunately there is nothing that we can do about it cause the medicine that I would normally take is not recommended for pregnancy.
Avatar m tn Cold is not usually associated with all you listed out. Though it comes with cold or winter season often or with somebody that responds to change of temperature readily. All the things you said shows more of allergy, it now depends on if you have a family history of such or is just occuring to you.
Avatar f tn Has anyone had really bad allergies or a cold lately if so what did or do you take?
