Guest guest Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 Hi He could be allergic to them, i had a reaction to some shower gel earlier in the year, Doctor prescribed anti histamines and anti histamine cream, the cream burnt my eye lids and the anti histamines stopped the itching but made them MORE puffy, in the end i just had to stop everything and just used shea butter on them. x To: Autism-Biomedical-Europe From: canadacath@...Date: Wed, 4 Apr 2012 20:56:47 +0000Subject: Antihistamine advice My son (7 years old) was diagnosed with several allergies a couple of months ago and it was recommended to start him on anti-histamines so he started taking Piriteze, half at night and half in the morning about 6 weeks ago. They seemed to make him tired at school so I dropped the morning dose and just gave half at night. I thought I would try again during the holiday to see if it made any difference so have been giving twice a day for about 5 days now. Yesterday his skin started looking a bit red and today his face was definitely flushed for the majority of the day, worse when he was upset although he had to have blood testing today so that probably made it worse. Is this a normal reaction to anti-histamine? He's mostly non-verbal but when I asked if it hurts or itches he said no, and it's not hot to touch. I didn't give his dose tonight but wonder if anyone has heard of this happening and whether I should stop, try a different one, take a break? I don't know if it's related but he was really well behaved today, much better than usual. If anyone knows anything about this I would be grateful for any advice Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 I have severe alergies and I don't like piriteze I get funny with them, the only one that I use over the counter is Piriton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 What is in piriteze, it is cetirizine? You could try another one with loratidine as active ingredient. Or even better ask GP to prescribe ketitofen. Antihistamines were BIG hit here, all around improvements.

Guest guest Posted April 5, 2012 Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 hi i suspect if your son is getting some kind of red rash possibly he is sensitive to the one you are giving. have you tried zaditem [prescription only] or even quercertin a natural supplement [amino acid] other things to try would be NAET by a practisoner such as jackie reader www.solarhealth.co.uk www.naet.com Isobel > > What is in piriteze, it is cetirizine?
