Question 1

is a domeboro soak effective for vaginal itching and irritation?

Accepted Answer

Domeboro: Soaks may help a little but ointment such as desonide will help more.

Question 2

is domeboro powder or aveno powder better for itchy contact dermatitis rash?

Accepted Answer

Better than both: depends how sever rash you have. If not severe and not oozing hydrocortisone cream 1% can be obtained OTC if sever see PCP. Domeboro is helpful for oozing rash but you will still need topical cortisone. Aveeno (oatmeal) powder can relieve some itching and still you will need topical cortisone.

Question 3

i'm taking domeboro and terbinafine i still have cracked heels that make me not abel to walk how long will it take i've been told 3 to 6 weeks

Accepted Answer

Podiatry evaluation: to include fungal and bacterial cultures. Cannot be diagnosed without direct observation. You should be evaluated by a dermatologist and use a cream that contains antifungal medication plus hydrocortisone, available by prescription.

Question 4

can you tell me how to make burow's solution from domeboro powder for use in the ear?

Accepted Answer

They are basically : the same, you just put the powder in water (dose is on the packet) and apply with cotton tip applicator

Question 5

is domeboro useful for treatment of genital herpes blisters?

Accepted Answer

Symptoms: It may help with easing the pain or itching but will not treat the herpes. You need anti-viral medication for that.

Question 6

my husband and i accidentally gave our 4 yr old son, who weighs 42lbs, a double dose of childrens benadryl (diphenhydramine) for his allergies (chewable tablets 12.5mg)?

Accepted Answer

??no numbers??: The only way for me to comment on the dose is if you list what you gave. Two 12.5 mg tabs in a 42 lb kid might make him groggy but shouldn't hurt in the long run.Four tabs would put him to sleep and he'd be out for a few hours. Luckily the med clears the body in 4-8 hours.

Question 7

i am having anxiety over food allergies. i am 23 and have 3 children with no food allergies. i am having anxiety over peanuts. is it possible or is it just anxiety? ive never had a problem with peanut butter. my kids eat it a lot?

Accepted Answer

Health Anxiety: Peanut allergies do not typically spontaneously arise in adults or older children, especially if the persons concerned have been eating it regularly without any issues. For Anxiety, try Journaling, Deep breathing exercises, and meditation/prayer to relax the anxious thoughts and soothe yourself.

Question 8

should i keep a cat even if it causing allergy problems with my children ages 2 thru 7?

Accepted Answer

Depends: Several factors here.  I usually never recommend it if the family is attached to the pet, but if it is causing severe symptoms, you should sequester the animal out of the bedrooms and living spaces.  Then make sure you thoroughly rid those areas of cat dander as it is a potent and tenacious allergen.

Question 9

does a cough come with allergies in children?

Accepted Answer

Sometimes: But not all the time. Nasal allergies are not a frequent cause of a really bad persistent cough. In a child with allergies and a really bad cough (assuming no fever) I would be concerned about a reactive airway/asthma type condition. If the child also had eczema I would be even more concerned.

Question 10

can a parents' allergies to various foods be passed on to their children?

Accepted Answer

No: The condition of being allergic is certainly an inherited property.  Often, that tendancy is greater in children whose biological mother has allergies.  However, specific allergy is generally not thought to be inherited.  That is, a parent can be allergic to food, and their children allergic to pollen or insect stings.
