Can you take Dimetapp cough syrup while on Prozac 20 mg?
Cough syrup has a drug in it called DXM (or DM). If you were to drink a bottle of cough syrup you would feel as though you were drunk and you would hallucinate. When Prozac is combined with any other kind of drug it amplifies the drugs effect. I believe that on the cough syrup bottles it says not to use it if you are on anti-depressants unless you consult a doctor before hand.

What happens if you eat something your allergic to?
Depends on how badly allergic you are, how much you ate, and how potent it was. Reactions can range from life threatening swelling of the airways to upset stomachs and some tenderness of the mouth.
What type of reaction is a hypersensitivity to an allergen such as a bee sting?
Bee sting can give you all types of allergic reactions. In case of bee sting you receive an injection. Most dangerous of all is anaphylaxis due to the nature of poison. That means being injection of proteins. Patient can collapse. Blood pressure drops down and there is severe spasm of bronchial tree. Patient can die as a result of severe reaction. This type of reaction rarely comes. Very rarely it comes with out warning. That means you gets more and more severe reactions to the bee sting. In such case the patient may have to carry his own set of injection adrenaline, injection cortisol, (I prefer injection betamethasone sodium phosphate.) and some antihistamine injection like pheniramine maleate. Only half the ampule of adrenaline has to be given subcutaneously. Most of the cases respond to cortisol and antihistamine injection. Any further queries can be answered.
It is somewhat risky to inhale acetone, and it could cause headaches.
Can Ayurveda or homeopathy cure anaphylaxis?
As for as my answer is concerned it is No
Anaphylaxis is life threatening condition and must be dealt very seriously by qualified docs with corticosteroids and anti histamines
Equivalent homeopathy medicine of corticosteriod: Cortisone
Equivalent homeopathy medicine of anti-histamine: Histamine
No, there is no good evidence to suggest that homeopathy can cure anaphylaxis. An Epi-pen (epinephrine) would be a far more effective solution. Anyone who has anaphylaxis needs to go to a hospital immediately for medical treatment and observation since their breathing can be compromised and their blood pressure can drop to dangerously low levels.
There could be many causes for the blood red in your eyes, but it is certainly a result of hemoraging [sp?], and thus very serious. This could be an indicator of something very badly wrong.
Therefore, it is critically important that you seek professional medical assistance RIGHT NOW.
To help you understand that statement, I provide this personal experience. All of my life, I have had terrible problems with frequently recurring URI [Upper Respiratory Infection].
When I was 10 years old [back in the early 50s] I developed a severe cough, but we all assumed it was just another URI bout, which we expected that my body would overcome within a few days to 2 weeks, as usually happened.
This time hower, the coughing was so constant and violent, my parents noticed that the whites of my eyes had turned totally blood red [I don't mean just bloodshot, but solid blood red!].
My dad took me to our family doctor who, immediately when he first saw me, told my Dad to take me to the hospital and begin the check-in process, and that he would meet us there as soon as possible [which was only minutes behind us].
The upshot of the diagnostic process was that the blood pressure surges had damaged my kidneys, and caused "Glomerolnephritus" [spelling?], and that without aggressive treatment over the next 10 days I would have been dead within three days!
The almost constant "fits" of coughing, had caused tremendous increases in blood pressure, rupturing thousands of tiny blood vessels throughout my body.
The only observable symptom was the blood red whites of my eyes. The millions of similar tiny blood vessel ruptures in my kidneys, though without manifesting any symptoms had compromised kidney function so badly that my kidneys had begun to cease to function.
Now I'm not saying that the same is happening to you, but that the presense of blood in your eyes is a serious symptom of something that could be very dangerous, and I repeat: Get yourself to professional medical attention right now!

Could blowing my nose from allergies cause it to bleed?
yes.
chronic irritation makes the little arteries in your nasal passages swell near the surface. dryness and the pressure from all that blowing breaks those tiny vessels...even sometimes ones big enough to cause a real nosebleed.
but if in doubt, always ask your doctor. what CAN happen may not be the reason your symptom happening...and there may be other factors, like medication side effects. for example, aspirin can aggravate bleeding problems anywhere in the body..

You should dust it. Stuff can have a whole lot of different meanings. You should dust the furniture. You should vacuum the rugs. You should put away as much stuff as possible. You should wash your bedding as often as every few days. (Dust mites that live in bedding have been shown to be a cause of allergies.) You should look for mold and get rid of it. If you can find the source of your allergy, get rid of it. This is springtime in a large part of the nation. A number of plants are blooming. Go to a store and purchase a large air filter that will filter the air for you. Keep a food diary. Three things known to cause allergies in some people are pork, milk, and soy. There are other things as well.
