Is Benadryl Useful In Treating Hives On The Stomach As A Result Of An Allergic Reaction To Herbal Products?

yes you can take benadryl
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Please see that for hives tab cetrizine 10 mg should be taken twice a day 12 hours apart , if the hives donot go away in next 2 days then add tab prednisolone 5 mg two times a day 12 hours apart
plus tab ranitidine 150 mg 12 hours apart , also take steam inhalation for cold etc .
If the cold and congestion is persisting you may take tab cozyplus ( combination of cetrizine plus phenylephrine ) three times but then omit prednisolone as prednisolone will aggravate cold.
Avoid herbal products for a week as herbal products are common causes of skin allergy as hives .
Instead of septillin or herbal products you may take vit c as tab suckcee 500 mg per day.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

separate by 12 hours
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Give the gap of 12 hours between two doses of cetrizine .
Two doses at once are more than required.
Secondly 24 hours gap between two doses will not solve purpose .
If you had not symptoms before may be it is due to fact that all these are being taken together . Sometimes some drugs when combined with specific foods cause allergies as one of my relative is allergic to capsicum when consumed with colouring agents in sweets but not allergic to both of these when taken on separate days
Allergy may take upto 2 weeks to resolve .
Take care


yes
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
yes ..as septillin has proven antiinfection properties so it is recommended in patients who present with chronic skin or throat or nose infections . I have seen good results in some patients .
Otherwise if a person takes good nutritious diet with multivitamin antioxidant combination that is enough to maintain immunity.
Take care,
