A member asked:

Hi. my 16 yr old daughter was put on zyrtec & singulair .she stopped meds for allergy testing & has stomach pain, headache & weakness.is this usual?

Dr. John Chiu answered

This is not usual: Unless the medications were controlling the symptoms from a food allergy, I believe it is more likely from a viral infection or food poisoning.
