Accepted Answer

Anti-histamine: Red itchy watery eyes, itchy nose, sneezing, and itchy throat can all be symptoms of allergic rhinitis or hayfever.  You can try over-the-counter antihistamines such as Diphenhydramine or Cetirizine to alleviate those symptoms.  Symptoms that persist or are severe should be seen promptly by a medical professional.

Question 2

my whole body itches and feels like i'm running a fever but i'm not , glands in my neck are swollen?

Accepted Answer

Viral?: If your neck glands are swollen, the itching may well be from a viral infection.  At times, the problem gets much worse a week into the infection before it gets better.  Try antihistamine up to 4 x daily. If problem is intolerable or worsening, consult your doctor.

Question 4

doc gave me xyzal (levocetirizine) for hay fever. 3rd day on it and my eyes and nose still itch.should i be feeling better after the 1st pill or does it take time ?

Usually: Antihistamines are effective for mild allergies, and Xyzal (levocetirizine) should be working by the 3rd day. You may want to consider other options, such as a steroid nasal spray or eye drops, such as Patanol.

Accepted Answer

See below: Purchase a home pregnancy test. They turn positive by the time you'd start your next expected period.  If negative, repeat in 1 week and call your doctor.

Question 7

can i tell me how i can stop hay fever?

Accepted Answer

Treatment: You need a stepped approach to treatment. Eliminate the allergen, go on loratidine or cetrizine, and use eye drops.  I start with zaditor which is over the counter and this fails consider prescription mess such as bepreve (bepotastine besilate).  Tough cases do well on alrex.  Talk to your eye doctor.

Question 8

what injection do you get for hay fever?

Accepted Answer

Shots for hay fever: Some doctors still give steroid injections, but with newer medications and greater appreciation of their side effects they should be avoided as routine treatment. Therefore specific allergen immunotherapy (allergy shots) are the injections for "hay fever".

Question 9

which type of hay fever medication is best?

Accepted Answer

Nasal steroid: Overall nasal steroid beats oral antihistamine +/- a decongestant with few exceptions.

Question 10

it just a cold or is it hay fever? how can i tell?

Accepted Answer

Cold vs. Hay fever: Colds often occur during the late fall/winter, lasting several days; seasonal allergies occur during the spring and late summer/early fall pollen seasons lasting weeks.  Colds may have fever, sore throat, discolored drainage, body aches, cough; allergies symptoms may include itching eyes, nose and throat, sneezing and clear drainage.  Allergy symptoms may be worse outdoors with pollen exposure.
