I have been on Xyzal for 5-6 years and had to go off, suddenly, for a week due to allergy testing. I have itched and scratched myself until I have bruises on my legs, arms, and feet! It's absolutely horrible!! :( In response to the other person who replied to you, it's typically NOT an issue to stay on 2nd generation antihistamines, long-term. Nor is it a problem to quit them suddenly EXCEPT (apparently) with Xyzal and Zyrtec (both are Cetirizine-based).
t seen any REAL blister there. I had a sore throat kind of itchy and not so painful but does get hard to swalow The sore throat has been going on for the last 4 days. The lips don't burn but do feel puffy. If I touch my lips where this spot appears to like raised but its not. The stuff I am feeling is only mainly towards the CENTER of the top lip. They also itch.
I saw a dermatolgist yesterday and he didn't see anything to be worried about but did give me oxistat and xyzal.
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.
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.
I lost all vision for less than a second and then was back, but felt like I might pass out for the rest of the day. That feeling has morphed into lightheadedness some days, dizziness, headache, depending on the day, but has been with me almost every day for the past two months. Doctor suggested sinus infection and gave me steroids plus antibiotics. Seemed to get much better with steroids but then came right back.
Hi and so sorry you have this problem. Do you have pus in your throat and/o a high fever? There is an anaerobic (grows without oxygen) bacteria that can be in your throat normally or can cause chronic sore throat. It is called Fusobacterium necrophorum. It isn't always seen in the throat and the regular antibiotics wouldn't work on it You may need metronidazole. That is if you are not allergic to it.
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.
I have sore throat for around 6 months. I think it all started with some sort of allergy because I would only have it when I was at home, generally any dust would make it worse. I moved out and my throat stopped being so sore but its still bad.. I feel like it is very sensitive. I also feel like saliva/mucus is licking down the throat.. Sometimes it has a bad (sort of rotten..
Did the doctor do a throat culture for strep? A quick swab to the back of the throat for a rapid strep test could give you the answer to your discomfort. Whatever is causing your discomfort, it does not sound like it is going to go away on its own. You are going to need the treatment of a doctor.
Sorry not the answer you wanted.
Hello Ladies, I need some help. As we know, during pregnancy we can't take alot of medications. My sinuses have been draining in the back of my throat. Its annoying and very irritating. I'm constantly blowing my nose. Its is becoming raw. Does anyone know of anything safe to take to control this problem. And its making it very hard to sleep at night.
Dear Doc,
I have allergic asthma as my physician told me(I usually take Nasonex, but with the cold weather, it hasn't provided any relief). Yesterday I felt worse than usual and I thought it was just one of those "one day flu's" that I sometimes get since I have allergies. But my throat is dry, mucus is constantly draining down the back of my throat from my nose, my nasal passages and my lymph nodes are swollen 24/7.
i am on week 13 of tx and I am going on my 6th week of having a sore throat and can not get rid of it. I took antibiotics for 7 days and didnt help at all. My Lymph Nodes located behind the ears and my throat are so enlarged that they are very sore. My nose is congested and is constantly bleeding. Is anyone having this problem? and is their any releif? Thank you for helping.
I did have cold sores when I was a kid. Oct 26 woke up with a sore throat mild. I still have it. It is not severe. It is almost just a discomfort. I looked at it in the mirror under the light and throat is a little reddish. In one area there seems to be a very small bump no puss or anything. Other than that nothing ubnormal. Gonnerhea urine test on OCT 23 with Nucleic AA was negative.
Could this be throat Gonnerhea or HSV 1 or is it just a conincidence normal cold?
She said she doubted very much that I contracted anything and that I needed anxiety medicine. She told me to take Zyrtec for my throat cause she didn't see anything and prescribed me nystain for yeast in the mouth because I had been on so many antibiotics from the first doctor visit. 10 weeks after any possible exposure my tonsils have become more swollen with white patches on them, it really isn't the most painful sore throat I have ever had but I'm worried that I am positive.
