Accepted Answer

: Anyone, or all of these can cause your symptoms.  Suggest you discuss, with your doctor, why you need these, and how to alter if necessary.  Since this maybe complex, propose you spend time with a HT virtual consult and get a second opinion regarding all of this.

Question 5

sides of throat hurts. not the same side always it switches sides. could sinus cause this. i take allergy medicine but does not seem to be helping.

Accepted Answer

Allergy: Post nasal drip from nasal allergies can give you a sore throat. An allergy pill can partially control the symptoms, you may also need a nasal help to help. See your doctor or an allergist about your symptoms.

Question 6

Accepted Answer

Question 7

does anybody know of an allergy medicine to give a 11 month old?

Accepted Answer

Please DON'T: Give an 11 month old this type of medication (unless specifically directed by a pediatrician_.

Question 8

are there any long term effects from taking otc allergy medicine on a regular basis?

Accepted Answer

No: In fact, if you have year-round allergies, regular use of otc allergy medicines (zyrtec, claritin, (loratadine) and Allegra are all non-sedating, once-daily medations) could significantly improve your quality of life!  watch out for you system becoming used to the effect of a medicine -- you may need to alternate, say, zyrtec and Allegra every 2 months to preserve the allergy-symptom-relieving effects.

Question 9

they say it's allergies but it's not i take the allergy medicine subsides for a minute and comes back and when it comes back it's fiercer now it's getting to the point where it's messing with my vision out of my peripherals what do i do what is it?

Accepted Answer

: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. It would be prudent to see a doctor, preferably an ophthalmologist. Wish you good health!

Question 10

will allergy medicine help with a cold?

Accepted Answer

Not much: Allergy medications such as Claritin, Allegra and Zyrtec work by blocking antihistamine which is not part of the cold/respiratory infection process so not much help.  Older antihistamines like Benadryl (diphenhydramine) may help some with irritant cough and sleep from drowsy side effect.  Decongestants such as Sudafed may help relieve some of the nasal congestion but avoid in children
