Accepted Answer

Yes: I presume you must be referring to dry, itchy skin that occurs in winter also called the winter itch. It is not an allergy but caused by drying of the skin due to evaporation of skin oils.

Question 9

best otc medicine for dog allergy?

Accepted Answer

Cetirizine: The most effective second generation, minimally sedating antihistamine is Cetirizine (adult dose 10 mg at bedtime). No antihistamine will allow ad lib dog contact so minimize contact, keep dog out of bedroom, use hepa filter in bedroom. If still symptoms have to consider rehousing  dog in another home.

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
