zyrtec

689528 tn?1364135841 He had the exact same problem last year and I feel so bad for him. He ended up getting a hot spot and we took him in to get pills and a steroid shot. I don't want it to come to that again this year. If anyone has any tips or suggestions on how to control his allergies that would be great. He is already on food that doesn't have corn, wheat or gluten. He is just VERY itchy all over but especially around the hip area and he is shedding constantly and EVERYWHERE!~ He is a boarder collie.
Avatar m tn I have been feeling much better on my vitamin D and zyrtec regiment. Here we are 2 years down the road and I woke up in the middle of the night with the left side of my cheek swollen up. I went to urgent care center in the morning and took 2 Benadryl before I went. 2 hours had passed and the swelling didn't change so the doctor thought that it was a infection in my mouth or an irritation from a tooth. He put me on a Zpak and sent me home.
Avatar f tn If you are not confident about this Doctor then I would say get another opinion, hes your child... it does sound like allergy and this has been a bad year ..so take a second opinion ..zyrtec seems to be prescribed willy nilly ...he may need something different .
Avatar f tn Recently, my 6 year old has been complaining of an itchy tongue. He says it's itchy ALL THE TIME. He has been gnawing on it to try to scratch the itch, resulting in canker sore/ulcer-type lesions (that also hurt). His primary doctor had no idea; she suggested Oral Allergy Syndrome. However, his allergist said there was no way that his tongue would be itchy all the time if it was OAS and didn't even consider allergy testing.

Avatar m tn I am a 50 year old male, who for the last few years, seems to have violent coughing/ gasping for breathe when encountered with: stale air (eg. Closed cars) or strong odor (eg. Car exhaust). I have been tested to be allergic to dust/ dust mites. After a couple of minutes of coughing and spiting out and having a tablet of Benadryl allergy medication, things are pretty normal. The above mentioned reactions happen mostly in morning.
Avatar n tn My 8 year old daughter was diagnosed with angioedema about 2 months ago. It started with lip swelling (like someone punched her), and whelps. My pediatrician told me that everytime her lips swelled that she was eating something that she was allergic to. She is such a picky eater that I knew when she ate the same things over and over that this couldn't be it. We took her to an allergy doctor and he did an allergy test. It basically came back normal.
Avatar m tn t think there is any direct health risk (heart attack for example) for skipping 2-3 doses. Zyprexa have a relatively long half-life that can be more than 48 hour. The side-effects you can get from skipping doses are more neurobiological, excess dopamine for example that could produce schizophrenia symptoms, psychosis if you are treated for schizophrenia or had psychotic episodes before.

Avatar f tn I have a 7.5 year old son who started constantly snapping his head back about a month ago. It's definitely a tick, and it started very suddenly, and I don't know what to do. Please let me know if you have any breakthrough with this.
351317 tn?1204751871 t just use a pill splitter and cut tablets in half. I had to ask for a lower dosage for my Benadryl myself for the same reason. This is also what I read that I needed to do with kidney function issues. Mine are capsule form that I buy behind the pharmacy counter as a prescription. The insurance still won't cover them, but they're still cheaper to buy this way than buying them OTC.
Avatar f tn My son stopped eating solid foods a couple of weeks ago. The doctor checked out his throat and nothing appeared to be wrong. He also has not had any traumatic incidents happen that we are aware of that might trigger this reaction. It began a few weeks ago, he would spit out food occasionally at a meal...this would get worse and he would spit out several times. 2 weeks ago he came home from school without any lunch eaten, this is when I decided to take him to the doctor...
Avatar f tn The amount of Zyrtec I was told to give to Akira is only 1/4 of the adult human dosage. This is much smaller than the children's dosage, which is 1/2 of the adult human dosage. I would never ever give medications to Akira without her first seeing her doctor. I do know that no one should ever give Tylenol to their pets. Tylenol is definitely toxic to both dogs and cats. In fact, some of us humans can't even take the stuff.
Avatar f tn Benadryl for sure and claratin I think
Avatar m tn Is that enough window period considering she is a 3 and half year old. or do kids have longer window periods. I see everywhere for adults the window period is 3 months, and am not sure about the 3 year kid. 2) Does any antibiotics(i don't remember which antibiotics she used) have any effect on her HIV antibody test result by delaying or hiding the antibodies. 3) Does any of her immunizations have any effect on the HIV antibody test result?.
Avatar m tn My 5 year old has been picking her scabs on and off for a year now. She seems to have seasonal allergies also. I have noticed when she is on generic Zyrtec for the allergies she doesn't pick as much or stops all together. Then after a meeting with her teacher it was brought to my attention that when she is picking a lot her school work suffers.
Avatar m tn For adults the tourniquet will be tied on the muscle, but for a 3 year old, since the hands are small the tied area is where the blood is drawn from.
Avatar f tn You had mentioned that your daughter was below the chart for 2 years, so after 2 years you saw an improvement? Did you do anything after those 2 years or during the 2 years for her to get back on track?
Avatar m tn Our 9 year old son who has learning and developmental delays will not go to sleep at night even with out a nap during the day. we will put him to bed at 8:00 p.m. every night and he will get out of bed about 20 times and we keep putting him back in there but he will not stray in there. He will eventually stay in there and be asleep around 11:00-11:30 p.m.. He takes Focalin for seizures and zyrtec for allergies. We were wondering if maybe either one of those could be causing the problems.
