question:On Friday I was stung by a bee or other insect. I swatted when I felt it's presence and after stinging me, it flew away, so I am not sure what it was for sure. I have been unable to sleep for two nights and have done the following:benadryl, was taken, area iced, and my husband who has severe allergies gave me 4 of his steroid pills....I have swelling, stinging pain in my neck and head....baking soda paste on area..Ibuprofen taken...have an autoimmune disease, Graves, really itchy and pain, but not affected breathing.

answer:hello dearthanks for your query at HCMsting bite of insect will persist for some time pain and itching will also take some to decrease.there is no need for steroids, you cannot start steroids on your own without consulting doctor they can severe side effects if not taken properly.you can continue ibuprofen for pain.take tab levocetrizine 5 mg in night that will decrease itching.no need for any other medication unnecessarily. reagrds
question:Hi there, my two kids (5yo and 3yo) suffer from asthma. The both use a preventer flixotid 125mg two puffs two times a day and also ventolin during crises as well as prednisolone during bronquites/asthma cough crises. I has show little or no improvement on their cough. They were put on a anti-histaminic (Zyrtec Kids) for hay fever, which did show some results in the older boy but none for the younger. Is anything else I should consider or talk to their doctor about it?
answer:Hello..Welcome to Health Care Magic..I read your queries and it seems that your kids are on treatment for allergy and asthma ..I suggest you to talk to your doctor about cough whether its dry cough or cough with mucus secretion .. Your doctor will prescribe Ambrolite for reducing cough and antibiotics if necessary after examination.Do not worry your child will show improvement in next visit.Hope this information is helpful to you.Thanks.
question:My 87 year old mum has just had an exacerbation of her asthma with a chest infection needing antibiotics, steroids, nebulisers etc and a stay in hospital. She was coming right but after 3 days of improvement now is excessively drowsy, nauseous and has epidodes of dry retching. We think she is constipated also but What would be making her so drowsy?
answer:Hi, Most probably the drugs she has taken to fight asthma attacks and chest infection. You can check what type of drugs she is taking for asthma, if there is any anti-hystaminic, that could cause drowsiness. Talk to her doctor to see if can change drug or lower the dose.
question:My husband and I are renting an apartment in San Francisco for 2 weeks and I have a severe allergy to down. We were told there was no down in the apartment, but found almost all of the pillows were down and we moved them to a nearby laundry room about 10 feet from my bed. Within one day I developed a running nose, draining down the throat, and now am coughing and have a headache. There may be 2 down pillows in a closet in my bedroom. Could this all be down related? Or could this be that I have caught a cold? There has also been wind in SF and perhaps that has affected my allergies as well. Can a down allergy cause this much distress? I have Nasacrot with me and use this once a day, and started a Z-pak three days ago. I have Albuterol with me but have not used it yet. Each day we are walking and climbing up hill as our apartment is on Nob Hill. Thanks, Janet YYYY@YYYY
answer:Hi,Thanks for using Healthcaremagic,After going through the available details,it seems that you have developed allergy to something it may be from pillow?If you are already suffering from allergy and bronchial asthma as you have pointed out you may need bronchodilator(Albuterol).In such condition simultaneously viral infection can also occur and makes respiratory tree moe hypersensitive.In such condition anti allergy drugs like Cetirizine/Fexofenadine are of help and if you have asthma then albuterol inhalation may be required.You should consult a Physician and then it can be treated accordingly.Avoid exposure to allergens like dust/Pollens.Steam inhalation may be of great help.Hope this information helps you.Take care.Good Luck.Dr.Akhilesh Dubey M.D.
