Question 3

Accepted Answer

Chronic urticaria: Chronic urticaria is a hive lasting more than 6 weeks. Triggers include cold weather, grass, animal dander, chemicals, perfumes, food, friction  among some. Antihistamine  (benadryl) may help.

Question 4

i'm allergic to bactrim(hives), cipro, (ciprofloxacin) and now mayb possibly nitrofuratoin. what else can u take for uti?

Accepted Answer

Here are some...: Generally speaking, nitrofurantoin is still a good time-tested antibiotics for uncomplicated urine tract infection   although it has been used for decades. So,  it was want to take it if no allergy to it. More?  Ask Doc timely. Best wish ...

Question 5

supposed to go in for cystoscopy today but have uti, tonsillitis, toe infection, & now hives that started last night. should i still go or reschedule?

Accepted Answer

Reschedule: If you have hives, you may have reacted to something you are taking, such as an over the counter medication or antibiotic if you are taking one. I would call the doctor and reschedule until your problems resolve.

Question 6

when my hubs & i were trying for baby id itch, burn & get hives where his ejaculate touched me. internally & externally. no yis, utis, stds or latex allergies for us. no lube allergies, but i have many protein sensitivities. could this be another ?

Accepted Answer

: Allergy to semen is rare but it happens from time to time. Your prior allergic history makes it more likely. Given that history, perhaps you have an allergy specialist? Discuss with him or her. Good luck.

Question 7

i took macrobid and within 15 minutes developed a hive like rash on my chest. rash hasn't moved anywhere else just stayed on my chest and i don't know if i should keep taking it.  it's for a severe uti?

Accepted Answer

Stop the medication: It sounds quite clearly like you're allergic to macrobid. Hives would be characteristic of that... plus the place on the body (the chest) is quite typically for a drug reaction (as opposed to say, the foot!).  There are most likely plenty of other options to treat a UTI -so you need to call your doctor ASAP and get a different antibiotic. Macrobid is often used first - but for you 'never again'.

Question 8

can urinary tract infection cause urticaria(hives)?

Accepted Answer

: No. medications for it can if you are allergic to them

Question 9

what tests are given for utis?

Accepted Answer

Urinalysis: Any urgent or a primary care office should carry out a quick urine dip to determine an uti. An official test would be a urine culture which takes longer.  Otherwise your clinical symptoms such as burning, frequency, urgency, chills, fever and hestinancy would increase likelihood.

Question 10

what could the cause my frequent utis?

Accepted Answer

Many reasons: 1. Resistance of the bug that lies dormant and revives. 2. Rough sex. 3. Poor immunity. 4. Strange as it may seem a common cause is poor diet---too many calories that induce a relative vitamin deficiency. When cellular energy resources are compromised any organ's function can be impaired.
