One of our foster's husband had severe allergies from cats - eyes puffed up, sneezed to the point of blood. Two squirts of Flonase (steroid) (Rx) in each nostril/b.i.d. - now he helps her with the cats. I think he's down to only one squirt/nostril/b.i.d. Flonase ain't cheap but it works. Most insurance plans cover it. Phil |

In article ,
enlightened us with... That said, if Zyrtec or Claritin do not work it may not be the cats he is allergic to. Benedryl is a far inferior antihistamine. For you, perhaps. It's also the only one that works for me. Except it doesn't make me at all drowsy, unlike the OP's BF. People are different. Their systems are different. Which is why we have so many options in pharmaceuticals. Even painkillers take up half an aisle at the store. Excedrine works for some, tylenol for others. Heck, I have three different kinds for different painkillers just for myself. Headaches, muscle aches, and cramps all get cured best by different medicines for me. -- -- ~kaeli~ To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism; to steal from many is research. http://www.ipwebdesign.net/wildAtHeart http://www.ipwebdesign.net/kaelisSpace |
