Question 1

how can i reduce the suffering  with a rabbit allergy.?

Avoidance, meds: First, i would try to avoid exposure to rabbit(s). If that is not possible, over the counter antihistamines such as zyrtec and Allegra (fexofenadine) might be helpful.

Question 2

watery eyes since eating smoked lapin. is this a rabbit allergy reaction or just due to the smoke?

Not rabbit allergy: Food allergy usually starts within 30 min. And involves some or all of following: itchy/swollen  lips/mouth/throat, nausea, vomitting, abdominal cramps, diarrhea, flushing, itchy skin, hives, chest tightness, wheezing, runny/stuffy nose, itchy/watery eyes, lightheadedness/low bp. It is rare to have a single symptom except itchy mouth and symptoms resolve within 24 hours.

Question 3

how to tell if child has dog, cat, or rabbit allergies?

Accepted Answer

Symptoms, tests: Animal danders r strong triggers for allergy symptoms. If a child is allergic to animal dander, she/he may sneeze, wheeze, cough, develop hives or itchy eyes when he/she pets the animal, or even be in the same room with the animal.  You can confirm the allergy be doing allergy testing w an allergist.

Question 4

watery eyes. can this be an allergy to rabbits or smoke?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: Allergy to rabbits can certainly cause watery eyes, but it is usually accompanied by itching of the eyes/nose and sneezing, congestion, or breathing symptoms. Smoke is an irritant that can irritate the membranes covering the eyes. It also irritates the mucus membranes in the nose and lungs, so may also cause congestion and wheezing, but should not cause itching. See an eye doctor or allergist.

Question 5

my eye started itching right after giving my bunny a bath. it was very red and irritated. i put in 2 drops of visine allergy drops about 1 hr ago and ?

Accepted Answer

Allergy to rabbit: It appears to avoidance of further contact is the reasonable approach.  Be sure to wash all of the clothing you wore while handling the rabbit. I presume the drops helped.

Question 6

how do i overcome a drug allergy?

Accepted Answer

Tricky: Medication reactions can be tricky as the type of reaction can be intolerance vs allergic.  Avoidance is the best treatment for a drug allergy and using a suitable alternative.  In a life threatening circumstance, desensitization by an allergist in the hospital is an option.  Sometimes drug allergy can resolve over time such as penicillin.  An allergist can assist in a good long term plan.

Question 7

if you're allergic to a drug have a drug allergy can you outgrow it as you get older for instance i'm allergic to phenobarbital?

Accepted Answer

Maybe: There are some allergies that resolve as you grow older. For instance some people can get improvement in their response to certain medications as they get older, or further away from the initial exposure. This may be due to a calming of the inflammatory response as you age. However, if you were my patient i would not give you a medication that you were allergic to as the risk is too high.

Question 8

Accepted Answer

Much more than U ask: There are 4 different types of medication allergy and also there are side effect reactions. Type 1- allergic type. Hives, itching, sneezing,  wheezing and shock are different forms of this allergy.Type 2-complement related angioedema, swelling type 3 is immune complexes.

type 4 is cell-contact dernatiti.

Question 9

which drug is a good allergy medication?

Accepted Answer

Depends: The choice of allergy medication depends on symptoms. There are several good over the counter antihistamines. Ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice.

Question 10

what are symptoms of a real drug allergy?

Accepted Answer

Rash and anaphylaxis: The most common allergic reaction to a drug is a rash.  In severe cases this is accompanied by breathing trouble and could even be life-threatening anaphylaxis.  Stomach upset is a common side effect and is not likely to be a true allergy.  However, it is still important to let your doctor know this.
