    the doctor gave you everything you could have to treat the allergic reaction.

    it might take up to 24 hours for the itching to totally stop. don't take anymore medication as you could accidently overdose.

    best thing to do is let the benadry kick in and try to get some rest.

    if after 6 hours the itching is still present and severe. you take more benadryl. take 1-2 of the 25mg tablets. you can take these every 6 hours but no more than 4 doses in 24 hours.

    if for any reason-you start to experience difficulty breathing or your throat starts to really itch, then call 911 or return back to the e.r.

  • You may have to go back to the ER as the benadryl doesn't seem to be doing much good for you. I wonder if you might be alergic to the dellata .

    Perhaps the Dellata and the Allegra may be reacting against each other. Call the ER and advise them what you have taken

    and what was given to you they might suggest the proper medication or suggestion without creating more of a situation.

    Itching is a common side-effect when taking Dilaudid.

    Avoid antihistamines (Benadryl, Allegra), as in combination with Dilaudid, they may cause dangerous over-sedation.

    If you begin to have any trouble breathing, call 9-1-1 immediately.

    Sounds like a possible reaction, if it continues or gets worse get to ER ASAP. Also any changes in your breathing pattern could be a sign and that would warrant a 911 call.

    give it a little bit more time to see if the meds will kick in. Call the ER if you are still itchy and ask what else you can do. Good luck, take care

    definite they do damage, do not they... I had one many years decrease back. you want to get it dealt with - some kidney stones (the demanding stoney, crystalline ones) might want to be disintegrated by technique of extremely-sound. different kidney stones are extra "fatty" or "rubbery" and do not reply so properly to extremely-sound. those and any large crystalline stones might want to might want to be surgically bumped off. both way it is a might want to to have them bumped off as they could reason damage for your kidneys or enable an infection to take carry. in the intervening time drink a number of of fluids (a minimum of two litres of fluid in holding with day). decide on an acidic drink like orange juice or cranberry juice as this may help dissolve the stone. i found that massaging the realm of my kidney and mendacity on a warm water bottle helped releive the discomfort. notwithstanding the discomfort is meant to be between the most severe that someone can journey so do not assume something except solid discomfort killers to attend to it thoroughly. solid success!

    The anti-histamines are the only types of meds I know of for the itching.

    At least your breathing normal, right?

    Diluada is some serious pain meds.

    What happened to you?

  • when you itch it is a highly allergic reaction. meaning your body is denying it
