My friend has been struggling with red tide symptoms that seem to be getting worse. is there anything other than diphenhydramine that could help otc?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Red tide: Red tide exposure may cause sneezing,coughing,itchy throat, eye tearing. Antihistamines are basic treatment but if asthmatic wheezing occurs, inhalers and prescription medications are needed. If diarrhea occurs, kaopectate helps. For headaches,Tylenol is recommended. For severe or persistent symptoms, consult a physician for evaluation and treatment.
