Zyrtec for mold allergies
Common Questions and Answers about Zyrtec for mold allergies
zyrtec
i have been struggling with allergies for about ten years. its gotten alot worse over the last three..have been tested i am severely allergic to all tree pollens grass and ragweed pollen mold and dogs..i have tried everything ( including the drops under your tongue) nothing reaaly helps i am tired of feeling like this all time..
I was told to take zyrtec. Now I have a rash on my upper thighs. Is it the generic zyrtec? Would the regular Zyrtec do the same? Have you ever heard of Diamox being prescribed for Meneire's disease? I find nothing in the literature about it and am hesitant to take it as it makes me very tired. I need to sleep about 3 hours a day when I take it. I don't want to experience vertigo again.
I've had a tickling sensation in my throat for over 4 weeks now, since May 4th. I usually do not cough as to not make it worse. It is always a dry cough. No sounds in my chest. Some days are better than others. Right when my eyes open in the morning, I feel completely fine. Shortly after, I gradually start to feel the tickle come back. I do have seasonal allergies, however pollen has been in the "low" for the past 3 days and today I feel the tickle as bad as day 1.
have your dr test you for black mold disease, i know of someone who had it for about a year. had a chronic cough hardly any other symptoms. he was tested for nearly everything you can possible imagine and just recently was tested for black mold and he tested posative. hes been on meds now for about 3 months and his caugh has gone away.
Has he actually been tested for food allergies, so you know what to stay away from?
Do you have him on any kind of antihistamine?
Since his episodes come and go he should also be tested for weed, tree, and grass pollens.
It wouldn't hurt to have him see a dermatologist to rule out any other underlying skin problem.
Have you tried claritin? I started using that to combat my allergies with perfume, but found that zyrtec worked better. I'm not sure about other allergy meds though, have you tried nasal sprays?
Benadryl knocks me out in seconds so I understand not wanting to take it all the time- have you tried using the tablets and cutting them in half? I found a 1/4 of the adult dosage works well enough on reactions my Zyrtec isn't good enough for without causing excessive drowsiness.
Zyrtec and benadryl. Zyrtec doesn't work for me, and benadryl makes me so tired. So my Dr gave me flonase and said to take the benadryl at night.
For ladies with Allergies what are you taking or doing. Claritin just doesn't seem to be doing the job. I am a stuffy, sneezey mess with watery eyes half the time. And I need to function so Benadryl is not an option unless I am able to sleep all day.
Nothing works for me, but Benadryl. My doctor said Claritan and Zyrtec are safe, they just don't work for me. I started taking either half of a regular Benadryl during the day (so I won't get sleepy, haha) or children's Benadryl (it's about the same as half of a regular one). That seems to make my allergies tolerable throughout the day.
I don't know anything about GERD/acid reflux and it might be that, but I just wanted to add:
I have Hashimoto's, and I have year long seasonal allergies, which I take zyrtec for. I no longer have a thyroid and would imagine my antithyroid antibodies are basement low now, but I still have seasonal allergies which produce a lot of mucus and can "breakthrough" my allergy medication.
I am a major allergy sufferer! Clarifying and Zyrtec are safe to take. However! Do not get the ones with the "D" added onto them (claritin d) because that is either not studied enough yet or not recommended. I take claritin as needed. "They" say it might be bad for allergies this spring with the late start. Exercise indoors. Take care and hopeb this is helpful. We are also allowed Benadryl but that you would need to call about. ...
Where do I begin with my allergies... For the past 5 years or so, I've had seasonal allergies but maintained with zyrtec. During the last two years of college, I noticed that my skin was getting so dry and painful that I would have to lotion my ENTIRE body immediately after showering or else I couldn't move without being in pain. I was also sweating a lot more during that time (I'm assuming due to allergies). Because of the combination of the two, my anxiety was getting to me.
