Do you think this combo of allergy meds is good?

by on 05. Apr, 2011 in Allergies

Question by Sarah A: Do you think this combo of allergy meds is good?
I have had a bad stuffy nose for nearly 2 weeks and finally went to the doctor after I realized I probably have developed seasonal allergies. My doc prescribed a round of steroids and then Allegra-D. She told me that the steroids would work MUCH better than the Allegra-D and that the Allegra was to take after I finished the steroids. I am just DYING to breathe out of my nostrils, should this do the trick? Zyrtec, Nasonex and Claritin-D did nothing for me, …

What happens when people have allergies to alcoholic drinks? Have you ever seen a complete personality change

by on 05. Apr, 2011 in Allergies

Question by goldtabl: What happens when people have allergies to alcoholic drinks? Have you ever seen a complete personality change
I have seen someone I've known for years get drunk and act completely different. They acted like a total different personality. I've never seen that but one time. I mean their speech pattern and word usage changed. I know it was different b/c someone could not have hidden that for as long as I've know them. Is that due to some type of gene or allergic reaction?

by on 05. Apr, 2011 in Allergies

Question by חנה: How common are severe allergies to dogs?
I am visually impaired and I have a guide dog. I've noticed that people give me the excuse that they are allergic to dogs a lot in places that it really shouldn't matter. If my dog is under the table, under my feet how likely is it that a person sitting at the other end of the table will have a reaction? Or if I am at one end of a room and a person is at another, is it really possible to have an allergic reaction from …

Q&A: What is the best OTC pain reliever for people with Aspirin allergies?

by on 05. Apr, 2011 in Allergies

Question by College student: What is the best OTC pain reliever for people with Aspirin allergies?
I usually take tylenol, but I am concerned about its affect on my liver. What else can I take?

Best answer:

Answer by Patricia CFor me it's Tylenol Extra Strength. I found this: the consensus is that the usual doses of Tylenol cause significant liver damage only rarely, or not at all in people with normal livers.
I've been taking it for years and I'm 76 with no liver damage.

Question by Nicole R: What is the cheapest way to treat a at with flea allergies?
I was able to get my cat to the vet, and get him some meds. He has a flea allergy, and it went away... But it didn't STAY away. I tried so hard to keep fleas off him but it didn't work.

The symptoms are coming back, and I don't know what to do, I can't afford the medicine again, I was barely able to the first time :(

I'm just wondering what the cheapest method is, I love him so much and I …
