Cetirizine Side Effect

I get frequent cold, runny nose and sneezing. Usually starts early hours in the morning and lasts till noon. Particularly in the winter season. If I take a cetirizine it gets controlled in an hour or two. At local clinic doctor prescribed a stronger dose of levocetirizine for a week, after this medication cold got controlled for a week and then it re started to appear in regular frequency. This is happening since almost an year. I tried strict diet control, nose mask, home remedies, taking steam bath, but they dint help in long term. Please suggest.

Hi, your symptoms look more like allergic rhinitis or could be simple viral (flu). Please exclude any allergen that might have triggered your symptoms. Antibiotics do not play any role in such cases. Substitute cetirizine with tab allegra 120 mg twice a day for 4-5 days. Otrivin nasal drops twice a day for 3 days followed by steam. Hope this helps!

Hello doctor, my baby is 8 weeks (2 months old. He has skin reaction may be kind of hives. So pediatrician has given 5 drops of zyrtec (cetirizine) for 7 days once in the evng. But, by mistake I put 0.6 ml counting each drop 0.1 ml. Yesterday only one day I have put. I hope no problem to the baby as I have given overdose? As cetirizine recommended after 6 months but because of hives doctor has given this. What shall I do now. Shall I reduce the dosage today by giving less or stop for one day? I hope no serious side effects will happen in one day as he is just 2 months because of my mistake. He is having lot of sleep after medicine was given. I am exclusively breastfeeding him.

Yes ,you are right cetrizen recommended after 6 month of age. Observe the child for weaning effect of cetrizen which may last 12 hr. But problem is feeding. If child does not awake after 2-3 hr ,urgently contact to paediatriciasn. Other notable side effects are dry mouth, headache sometime retention of urine and rarly convulsion. But do not worry cetrizine is safe medicine in its class but you must consult to paediatrician if child does not awake. I hope ,it is compelete answer of your quarry.

Dear lybrate-user this can be a simple allergic contact dermatitis. Avoid using soap and you can use olive oil or coconut oil every 4 hour. If it is not resolving, you can consult a dermatologist.

Effective home remedies to treat urticaria include: •a cold compress. A person can apply a cool, damp cloth to the affected area. This can provide relief from itchiness and help reduce inflammation. A cold compress can be used as often as necessary. •bathing in an anti-itch solution. Baking soda baths can soothe skin and reduce irritation. •applying aloe vera. The healing properties of aloe vera may soothe and reduce hives. It is advisable, however, to do a skin test before applying aloe vera to the entire area that is affected. •avoiding irritants. This includes perfumes, fragranced soaps or moisturizers, and staying out of the sun. A person should also stay cool and wear loose, comfortable clothing.

1. Do saline gargles daily. 2. Whenever possible do steam inhalation also. 3. Cover your nose and mouth with hanky for at least 30 sec when you go in dusty areas also when you go in and out of AC. As our nose is the most sensitive part of our body, When there is temperature difference between two rooms or inside n outside, then if we not protect our nose, it gets affected. 4. Drink Hot Liquids --Hot liquids relieve nasal congestion, prevent dehydration, and soothe the uncomfortably inflamed membranes that line your nose and throat. 5. Sleep With an Extra Pillow Under Your Head-- Elevating your head will help relieve congested nasal passages. If the angle is too awkward, try placing the pillows between the mattress and the box springs to create a more gradual slope. 6. Treat That Stuffy Nose With Warm Salt Water-- Salt-water rinsing helps break nasal congestion, while also removing virus particles and bacteria from your nose. 7. Blow Your Nose Often (and the Right Way)-- It's important to blow your nose regularly when you have a cold rather than sniffling mucus back into your head. But when you blow hard, pressure can carry germ-carrying phlegm back into your ear passages, causing earache. The best way to blow your nose: Press a finger over one nostril while you blow gently to clear the other. Homeopathic treatment has very encouraging results. Consult online for details
