Antihistamines treat allergic rhinitis
Question 1
Antihistamines treat allergic rhinitis and hives in a given period. In the above case, I will consider the time the patient has taken since the use of the drug. If enough time approximately thirty minutes have elapsed without a positive response, then will tell the patient to try another drug. If the time lapse is less than thirty minutes, then all tell the patient to be patient and wait for the drug to react.
Question 2
I will recommend Claritin for the patient for the seasonal allergy because it relieves the itching effect of various allergic reactions.
Question 3
Guillain-Barre syndrome is an infectious illness caused by Campylobacter jejuni, which is found in vaccines and vaccinations such as meningococcal. Other vaccines that are considered causative agents are poliovirus, rabies and influenza vaccines.
Question 4
I would not recommend OTC medication because they may be less effective. I would prescribe for her permethrin cream, which contains chemicals that destroys scabies mites and their eggs. I depending on the level of severity, I may prescribe lindane lotion or Stromectol. Further, I would discourage the patient from buying over-the-counter drugs when dealing with Scabies.
Question 5
A patient with sulfa allergies should avoid certain medications to prevent more allergic reactions. For the treatment of herpes, a drug known as valacyclovir is used. The drug occurs in three forms such as acyclovir (Zovirax), famciclovir (Famvir), and valacyclovir (Valtrex) which are taken in pill form (Bousquet et al. .2019). In all forms, valacyclovir reacts vigorously with sulfa medications, and this complicates their treatment.
Question 6
While prescribing penicillin, it is vital to consider patient medication records and discharge summaries and ratio of broad-spectrum penicillin. Consider if the patient had an allergic reaction in the past.
