drugs may help u to interrupt an acute condition, but with allergy the best treatment is to stay away from the allergens. dust, pollen, smoke, cigarettes, and fungi, but also some perfumes, or any funny smell can trigger your allergic reaction.but also many other things (animal hair, feathers, hay,..... etc.). also humidity and hot weather can aggravate the condition. some people take quiet some time to discover the cause of their allergy, but your are your best doctor and you can discover the cause of your allergy by close observation and try to stay away from it (or if unavoidable be exposed to it the shortest time possible).\nalso drinking plenty of plain water, eating healthy food with as much fresh vegetables and fruits can help keep up your system, thus making it stronger to the allergens.\nthe worst time for pollen allergy are May June July...

Get yourself into your doctor NOW!\n\nYou never know how long it takes to become allergic to medications.  I have taken penicillin for years, no problem.  Then I had a reaction that is not normal and is rare.  I thought it was something else entirely.  \n\nReport all changes to your Doctor no matter when they occur.  Sometimes it takes a while for your body to become sensitive or allergic to a medication, that is IF you have a reaction.\n\nThe reaction can occur over years and sometimes it will take 20 minutes to an hour if taken by mouth.  30 seconds to a couple of minutes if injected.\n\nCheck it out! NOW

anti biotics would be one way. If you decide not to go to the doctor all you need to do is eat healthy and your bodies antibodies will do the rest. A few simple instructions\n\nstay away from dairy-it creates muscus\nstay away from high allergenfoods-wheat dairy corn\ndont eat sugar\ndrink so much water you can go ten minutes without peeing\ndrink or eat fruits high in vitamin c-it stabalizes and frees radicals in your body, immune system booster.

woman weren't built to have periods every month and it does not harm them to go without them... my girlfriend is allergic to seasonal so she takes Yasmin continuously and cannot have periods due to the pain and other symptoms of endometriosis... it is perfectly fine for her and actually has benefits like not losing iron and can reduce risks of some cancer, anyways as for the swallowing pills thing, she can try putting it in peanut butter or something crunchy that she doesnt mind swallowing, or what I do is moisten the pill in my mouth and then dry swallow it and then drink a lot of water but if I try to take it normally i freak out, also with the pills try to avoid pills with gel caps because they can have side effects (heartburn), esp for people who dont take pills well

Count me in. \n\nI took allergy shots for three years and it helped a lot. Now I have mild cases in Spring and very rare cases in the rest of the year. \n\nWhy don't you go to the Immunology Dept. of an University Hospital; they may help with new treatments- at least to minimize the problem.

Sounds like an allergic reaction. Listen to the doctor...they'll probably go away after discontinuing the meds. It might go away right away, or it might take a couple of days. If they're not gone in 3 days (or if they get worse)... let the doctor know again.

prednol cortisone cream is what i'd use if i started getting itchy..but being cortisone, there is only so much you can use of it so often.  you should seek an allergy specialist that you can afford, do some research online on health sites and archives-most importantly, join an allergy yahoogroup to reach a wider audience of people suffering from allergies who'd be experienced enough to guide you in different ways.  make sure you drink lots of water, do some relaxation techniques if possible-find out about EFT-and know that you're not alone.  I've been on zyrtec for almost four years and I'm having trouble getting off it too-although mine come in the form of headaches and constant sleep need along with hives.  GOOD LUCK!!!  ps It's also DEFINETLY worthwhile for you to keep a food and activity diary to try and pinpoint any new allergens that may have come up in your life.

some pills the doctor gives you might help. Please go the doctor.

Please start by seeing a doctor.  If your family has good insurance (or Medicaid -- most states covers kids above the poverty level), I would start with an allergist or a pulmonologist.  If you lack insurance, there are often community clinics where you can go for treatment.\n\nAsthma is a chronic disease that isn't really cured but can often be very effectively controlled.  Poor control causes many issues (and you know that!) and can even be life threatening.\n\nHow is it managed?  The first step is to try and figure out what causes your asthma.  This can often be an allergy (although asthma can also be triggered by other things such as cold air and exercise).  Regardless of the trigger, a doctor will work with you to reduce that trigger.  (In the case of allergies, this can involve everything from covering the mattress if the allergy is to dust to nasal sprays to allergy shots to limiting your exposure to certain things).\n\nThe doctor may also prescribe a slower acting medicine to help reduce the frequency and severity of attacks.  This most often an inhaler but could also be a pill.  And this is important:  asthma seems to sort of feed on itself and treatment can help reduce the inflamation.  Also important is to understand that this will not stop an astma attack that you justt started having -- it takes days to have an impact.\n\nIn addition, a doctor may presecribe a fast acting inhaler (often called a rescue inhaler).  This is designed to be used to treat a current astma attack.\n\nSo the plan:  a) reduce the triggers that cause the asthma; b) longer term medication to help soothe the inflamation and reduce the severity/frequemcy; and c) a rescue inhaler when a and b fail.  If you find yourself using the rescue inhaler often, contact your doctor as the first two steps probably need refined.\n\nMake sense? Good luck!

If you're suffering now you're likely to be allergic to tree pollen.  Classic "hay-fever" is an allergy to grass pollen, which I suffer from, and comes on later in the year.  Prescription drugs turn me into something out of The Hills Have Eyes, so I can sympathise with your wish for something natural.  Homeopathic remedies worked for me for couple of years, but don't any more alas.  I got through last season with a eye drop remedy called Hay-Crom and Beconase nasal spray, but these rarely work for more than one season at a go -- pills like Clarityn stop working after a week or so.  Because you mention the heating it sounds like you may also have a dust or pet-hair allergy which is making things worse.

why you waist your time asking a whole bunch of strangers... talk to your mom... she would probably take you to the doctor, which should be the right thing to do.... right away!

I believe there are pills you can take. You should talk to your doctor about it.

Over the counter won't work well, as you discovered.  You must see a doctor and get a prescription.  There are many different types of allergy medications and your doctor will help you pick the one best for you.  I use Clarinex and it works great...but a doctor must prescribe it.

My Mom had that and she said that it was just a pill the she had to swallow. As far as having children you need to talk to your doctor and don't be afraid to ask him questions, that is what they are there for.

Allergies\n\nI have a son who is allergic to everything. He was about 8 months old when I started with Melaleuca. One by one I slowly tested each product. Melaleuca is the one thing I can use on him that works wonders! We use to buy 2-3 different types of laudry detergent because of allergies in my household. Now, it's only Mela Power. Renew Bath Oil and Renew Intensive Skin Therapy are awesome for any skin problems and I swear by that!  \nI know several people who have gotten off of their allergy medicine as well as inhalers after switching to Melaleuca. The first step is to get all of the harsh chemicals/toxins out of your home. Then get on the Daily for Life Pack and saturate with the Provex (1capsule/25 lbs per day for 2 weeks) Provex is a powerful antioxidant and is a natural anti-inflammitory and anti-histamine! It works wonderfully for allergies and asthma without the side effects of prescription medications! \nthat he got infections on his legs. The allergist that I went to put him on heavy cortisone, if I knew then what I know now I wouldn't have done it. That did clear him up but then it came back. Here's the great part.... within two weeks of TOTALLY converting our home to Melaleuca products, he was a different child. Attitude, everything. I am convinced that he felt miserable and (acted miserable) because of the allergies. Hallelujah!!!! The other story is about me, I was always allergic to Easter lilies, I have been taking ProvexCV and went in to the local store, saw the lilies and thought to myself, oh great here goes, my head is going to BLOW up. It didn't. I went over and sniffed, and then took in a big sniff and no blow up, and for any doubters, no the store hadn't pulled the centers out of the lilies! Hope these stories help, any questions, contact me at \nCV and I noticed my summer allergies were not as bad as they use to be... so it helped me too...

Go to a gynecologist immediately!  If you haven't told your mom (or important female figure in your life) do so, so that she can take you to your appointment.  You may need to get on the Pill to regulate your periods, or you may have something else going on that needs medical attention.  It's much better to be safe than sorry.
