acyclovir 800mg 4-5 times a day for 7 to 10 days,
oral steroid might reduce the pain somewhat, but doesn't reduce post
herpetic neuralgia, which is something you have to worry about in several
weeks later, |

he can go see ENT(ear, nose, and throat) specialist,
if it's truly sinusitis causing the headache, needs to take care of the
sinusisit, take antibiotics, use nasal spray with saline, and also can use
steroid nasal spray such as nasonex(which is hideously expensive),
what you could also try is to get the sinus rinse kit from walgreen, i
forgot the name by now, but it's a combination of salt, baking soda, mixed
in lukewarm water and you can squirt it through nostrils, it will rinse
through sinus |

if you have only joints pain. you can normally start with NSAIDS, sometimes
plaquenil is used for joints problems,
try to avoid steroid as possible, unless you have renal or neuro involvement,
lupus could cause depression or any other psychiatric disorder such as
psychosis,then again chronic disease would cause depression also,

hope you already stopped taking the amoxicillin,
not sure what your rash looks like, is it raised and patchy like urticaria
type or relatively flat like morbilliform rash you see in measels,
in addition to over the counter claritin or zyrtec or benadryl, you can also
try topical benadryl creams,
it could last for days though, normally it resolves spontanesouly once you
stop the offending agent, but if still not getting better you might want to

they are preferred over singulair, the newest inhaled nasal steroid is

发帖数: 1211 | 20 Family doctors can prescribe medication for allergic rhinitis. Generally,
you will need an immunologist to perform skin tests to identify the cause of
allergy. The result probably is helpful for you to be more vigilant about
avoiding the substance. Immunologists can also do desensitization based on
the results, but usually it is not preferred due to the extremely time
consuming nature of the treatment. Oral antihistamine or nasal
antihisatmine or steroid sprays are the mainstay of treatment, |

Cortisone or other steroids are very effective at alleviating inflammation.
But if you don't treat the underlying cause of inflammation, the problem
will recur. A lot of the joint issues are caused by inflammation due to
wear and tear of the joint from over use, and compensated by worse posture
to avoid pain, but exacerbates joint damage and therefore more inflammation.

common causes of diarrhea is

IBS, the bowel is sensitive to what you eat, sometimes it is associated with

IBD, including crhon's and UC, esp when there is blood in your stool and

Singulair is used for prevention
Zyrtec is for treatment.
