Question 1

my 22 months wakes up at night to scratch herself after playing on the lawn. any otc medication we can try? best antihistamine for lawn?

Accepted Answer

Nocturnal itching: I am concerned about the possibility of insect bites or infestation(?from chiggers)from playing in the lawn. Observe for any evidence. Your pediatrician can recommend the proper dose of benadryl which is antihistamine and antitpruritic as well as being a mild sedative.

Question 2

i can not afford to see a doctor am on a high deductible do you have and other subjects as far a otc medication i could take for a couple of months un?

Accepted Answer

Try private consult: A Healthtap doctor may be able to diagnose certain conditions through a private paid consult on this site, and may be able to prescribe certain medications for you. Or they can advise you about OTC options that may help. The price for a virtual consult is much lower than a typical clinic visit. Healthtap offers a variety of options for patients.

Question 3

what otc medication would help me feel better with my depression?

Accepted Answer

Evaluation first: Medication may or may not be what you need, so please get a psychiatric evaluation of yourself and your depression first.  It's important to understand the issues contributing to your depression before dosing up with anything.  Exercise and healthy whole-foods diet can do a lot; so can meaningful relationships.  Otc, people try st. John's wort, sam-e, or rhodiola for mild to moderate symptoms.

Question 4

what is the best otc medication for premature ejaculation problems?

Accepted Answer

None: I have never seen any proof that any otc medication can reliably delay ejaculation (except for alcoholic beverages, but that is another topic). Paxil (paroxetine) and other ssri medications work pretty well in small doses.

Question 5

i have a cold and feel nauseous and seems like ill pass out or begin to lose balance. this is before i took otc medication. should i be worried?

Accepted Answer

Nauseous and lighthe: Nauseous and lightheadedness usually means that you are dehydrated and need to drink more water.  During 8 oz of water 7 to 8 times a day at the minimum.  You may also want to take some Tylenol or Motrin and see how you feel. Good luck and feel better!

Question 6

i've had diarrhea for 6 weeks and otc medication doesn't seem to help. channged my diet but still the same. what else can i do? what is causing this?

Accepted Answer

See your doctor.: There are many possible causes of diarrhea, most of which are self-limited and resolve on their own in a week or two. Since yours has been going to longer, I think you should see your doctor to help sort out the problem. In the meantime, try increasing the amount of fiber in your diet and drinking plenty of fluids. Good luck.

Question 7

what otc medication is most comparable to prescription hydraquinone? i understand nothing is as strong as an rx, but i cannot afford to have it filled

Accepted Answer

Fade cream: Porcelana is a "fade cream" that had been otc for years.  Not sure what is in it or how it works.

Question 8

i've had a cold for about a week and have been taking otc medication but it doesn't seem to be helping much. i also seem to get them often please help?

Accepted Answer

Not a cold: Symptoms of allergies can often be mistaken with cold and flu.  Generally, a cold that does not go away can be related to other underlying causes.  Seasonal allergies are often one of the causes.  Your doctor will be able to help you distinguish your symptoms to get a proper diagnosis.

Question 9

Accepted Answer

Cushion heel: Heel pain may be related to tendonitis, pressure sores and a number of other conditions. Please take ibuprofen and elevate your leg. Your shoes should fit well with a cushioned heel. Please see a physician if there are signs of infection.
