Accepted Answer

Uti's: Recurrent uti can occur after vaginal intercourse,taking baths instead of showers,wearing very tight jeans,or from structural anatomic abnormalities of the urinary tract. A Urologist is best qualified to evaluate and treat you. If bronchitis is not improving a course of appropriate antibiotics should help.

Question 8

it's been a while i got seasonal allergies what should i do?

Accepted Answer

Allergies: There are many options. There are the non-sedating antihistamines such as Claritin or Allegra. Flonase is now over the counter too. Flonase works better but is a steroid. It has to be sprayed into the nose daily. Spray toward the ear and do not inhale. Pseudophed is a good decongestant (have to sign for it) but can cause jitters and a rapid pulse.

Many things: Seasonal allergies are usually treated with antihistamines such as claritin, Allegra or zyrtec.  The most effective treatment however is nasal cortisone sprays such as qnasl, flonase, nasonex, (mometasone) etc.  Sometimes allergy eye drops are necessary if eye symptoms are significant.  If symptoms are difficulty to control, progressing each season, then allergy injections can be very helpful.
