I have started taking anti-hystamines for hayfever, but my skin is now really itchy. Is there a link?
The hayfever is not making my skin itche as I have had it for years (without taking anti0hystamines) and this never happened. Is it possible that the anti-hystamine is making my skin itch? If not, what else could it be?
very intersting, as anti-histamines generally decrease skin itching… have you changed laundry detergent or soap? maybe it’s the weather that’s drying your skin?
Could it be possible that you are allergic to it. I itched myself crazy until I found out that I was allercig to sulfa drug. I discontinued the drug and no more itching.
I sure hope this helps,
Hope
WHY are you taking antihistamines? They are quite dangerous. You can take a teaspoon of LOCAL honey each day and your hay fever allergies will be GONE! Antihistamines will dry out your body-including the internal organs like your kidneys and liver. You can develop a long term problem that will not be evident until the damage is done. Read the warnings-antihistamines will dry you out, causing sinus infections as well. Local honey has no side effects, is economical, sweet, and is readily available. Like all herbal remedies, it will take a while to become effective but you will also notice that you get fewer cold and flu symptoms and are, overall, much healthier. Give it a try-you have nothing to lose accept your allergies.
