I've been "back scratch" tested for allergies. Can the doctors do a allergy tests for specific types of dogs?
Q. I have many allergies and was tested years ago on my back for various things. I have food, pet, indoor, outdoor allergies. Pretty much everything. But my husband wants a dog, and I really would like to get a german sheperd. Can the doctor test me for that specific type of dog? Hanging out with one would be another alternative, I know, but I was just curious if this option is available.

A. The problem with dogs and cats a lot of times is that people are allergic to their dander--- NOT their hair. There are some dogs that are supposedly better than others in this regard. You can google for a list, but I remember a "Labradoodle" is supposed to be one. Still, if the dog sometimes goes outside, it usually runs through the grass and brings in pollen, etc.-- which you might also be allergic to. Dogs and cats are not that great for allergy sufferers. There are things you can do to try and reduce their negative effect, but that fact remains.

I'm confused about allergies... during "allergy season", do symptoms stick around or come and go?
Q. Everyone is telling me that both of my children (5 and 1) could have allergies. They both have had several "colds" within the last few months and they always get it at the same time. I don't have allergies myself, but I always assumed that you would have allergy symptoms throughout the entire allergy season. But am I wrong? Do the symptoms come and go?
Asked by ticktock - Wed Jun 9 12:20:07 2010 - Allergies - 2 Answers - Comments
A. Symptoms come and go when the allergen flares. For example if you are allergic to pollen you are always allergic to pollen there are just specific days that the pollen count is high enough to cause you to have allergy symptoms. The same goes for the common allergens like mold, dust, ragweed, etc.

Can my allergy medicine cause "cotton mouth"?
Q. I was taking Singular, Claritin & Benadryl without any problems. I have started taking Zyrtec since it is OTC instead of the Claritin. My allergy-induced asthma symptoms are much better but I seem to have "cotton mouth" and very dry lips now. Is this from the Zyrtec? Is it okay to combine all of these?
Asked by wannaknow - Thu May 1 22:32:05 2008 - Allergies - 1 Answers - Comments
A. Yes allergy meds tend to give you dry mouth. You shouldn't have to combine all of these and I wouldn't do so. Your Dr. should be prescribing an appropriate medication for your asthma symptoms and your allergies.

What do you prefer: "Natural medicine" or the Vet?
Q. I was just skimming through the questions and noticed that a lot of people are in support of "natural" or "holistic" cures for animals.

How do I say "my daughter suffers from a fatal allergy to all nuts" in Spanish. Thanks?
Q. I am going to Spain in two weeks and my daughter has a fatal allergy to nuts. I need to know how to say this in Spanish and also some help with pronouncination would be a great help.
Asked by cgirlie2003 - Tue Jul 24 09:06:44 2007 - Allergies - 15 Answers - Comments
A. This question could be a little tricky since it could be translated in two ways, here is why: The word "Nut" in Spanish is literally translated as "Nuez" (in this case "Nueces" which is the plural for "Nuez"). So the translation for this will be Mi hija sufre de una alergia fatal a todos los tipos de nueces But, here is the thing: In English, the word "Nuts" makes reference to the whole family of nuts. In Spanish it makes reference to "Walnuts" ONLY, and not necessary to the whole "nuts family" so you might want to say Frutos secos (dry fruits) instead of nueces so people can understand clearly that your daughter has an allergy to ALL kinds of nuts. So, your sentence (hav [cont.]

A. Benadryl is also suggested as a remedy to take when a passenger on an airplane to help reduce anxiety. You should be fine, but the only disadvantage you might have is that Benadryl dries out the sinuses and could dehydreate you a bit - make sure you drink lots of fluids the next day.

Has anyone found an allergy medicine that's very effective at treating allergies to cats?
