Cetirizine Side Effect

Doctor i'm diagnosed with scabies. I took chlorpheniramine 4 mg once a day with cetirizine 10 mg twice day. It didn't cure it. Probably the disease was in remission. It reappeared so I resorted to griseofulvin 1000 mg daily. It also don't seem to be very that fast.

You can try this wash the affected skin two to three times a day. Keep the affected area dry.Avoid excess affected skin irritation by wearing 100% cotton underwear. Avoid fabric softeners, bleaches, or harsh laundry detergents. Wash your workout clothes, underwear, socks, and towels after each use. Keep your affected area, inner thighs, and buttocks clean and dry, especially after you exercise and shower. After showering or bathing, dry the irritated affected area by gently patting it with a towel. Be sure to dry your skin thoroughly. Mix two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar in two cups of warm water. Wash the infected area with this solution and allow it to dry on its own. Another option is to apply a mixture of equal parts of white vinegar and coconut oil on the affected skin. Like hydrogen peroxide, rubbing alcohol can help kill off the fungus that's on the surface level of the skin.

Seasonal flu (common cold) is a viral infection. It normally takes 5-6 days & sometimes even longer to go away. Antibiotics have no effect on it. So, have patience. your child isn't a guinea pig, so don't keep changing antibiotics on your own. Contact a pediatrician if needed.

I am 26 years old female and am suffering from chronic pityriasis versicolor for years without any rashes roughness and itchiness there is just only white patches on my upper arm and the skin is not flaky. I have took a complete treatment in 2018 for my fungal infection with ketoconazole lotion ketoconazole shampoo and antifungal tablets for one month but it did not improve my situation. Recently I have visited another dermatologist as I have recently develop another tinea versicolor in my back he suggested me me to take teczine 5 mg and lulifin lotion so my question is should I take teczine 5 mg for my fungal infection or not. Please help me with my confusion as I don't have any allergic reaction I am unsure about teczine 5 mg.

Some patients develops allergic reaction to dead fungal elements. When we start antifungal agents, they kill fungus and liberate dead fungal particles. These particles may cause allergic reaction in some patients. So generally physician give antihistamine (cetirizine/teczine) along with antifungals. But if you not have itching, no need of teczine tablets. In pityriasis versicolor, antifungal treatment will kill fungus but normal skin colour will return in months to years. So no need of too much treatment. 7 day treatment is sufficient.

Hello, Thanks for the query. I have seen the details mentioned. In a person with diabetes most important part is to achieve a stric glucose control with FBG < 100 mg or closer to 100 mg, PP 150 to 170 mg & HbA1c% < 6,5%. Because high blood glucose is the one that damages all the vital organs including kidneys. As regards the Tablet Gloeye, I have absolutely no idea whether it has any effect at all. Because there is NO Medicine availabke which delays or prevents cataract till now. So taking those tablets is a placebo effect. Secondly taking Cetirizine and Ambroxol daily is not really good. I am not aware why are you using that tablet. Any drug being used over a long time has certain side effects. Thanks.

Hi! having a sensitive skin ,you should be extremely careful in handling chemical agents. For time being, you can use desowen and moisturiser .take antihistamine like cetirizine at night .if your problem is recurring, check your allergy tests and hormonal assay as these can be associated with allergy.

Hi! vulvar itching can be due to multiple reasons, fungal infections, allergy, urinary tract infections etc. We have to examine the the skin to get a better clarity and thereby give you right guidance and treatment. Please do consult your local dermatologist for better treatment. Meanwhile take cetirizine tablets at night to control itching, take plenty of fluids to flush our bacteria from urinary tract, use plain coconut oil twice daily on that site for soothing effect. Don't self medicate with your antibiotics etc.

Hello lybrate-user! usually eldervit 12 doesn't cause any itching to other associated side effects. So, not required to stop. In case of itching, you can use cetirizine or levocetrizine tablet at night. If you are facing itching continuously for 3 days, please stop the medicine and get evaluated.

As such no major side effects are there but your doctor must have advised these for few days. U should again visit your doctor if there is any problem. If no problem then discontinue cetrizine and ear drop because hole will be cured only by operation.
