what effect could the combination of bad asthma and antihistamines have on my daughters school work?
Question:
Answers:
umm.she must be tired as heck, the lack of oxygen from the asthma is going to make her tired for one and the antihistamines are going to make her even more sleepy.
Other Answers:
The most common side effect of taking Piriton is drowsiness. However, most people do not experience any side effect from taking Piriton.
She is one really tired girl. When you are that tired, nothing "sinks in" and you do not perform to your true capabilities.
I had the same problem a while back. I'm not familiar with piriton. If this is not a nasal spray, get her some plain nasal saline spray. Use it right before bed. Either way - tell her to use 2 pillows! The angle of the head/neck helps the sinus drain. Coughing not so bad and you can sleep. Good Luck!
If she's up all night coughing, then, IMO, the Piriton isnt' helping.
Get her back to the DR.sleep deprivation WILL reduce the brain's capacity to learn/remember/perform.
mm antihistamines are bronchiole constrictors, you should never use the two together, if you daughter is having trouble breathing the worst thing you can do is give her an antihistimine, instead look into singulair, its great for allergies but isnt an antihistamine, so it wont mess with your daughters asthma
Yes, this could affect the outcome of any tests or school work.
What the others said. She's going to be exhausted from coughing and not being able to breathe- and that's pretty scary, as I know from my bouts with bronchitis.
Talk with the docs and tell them the medicine isn't helping. There are alternatives.
Good luck!
she's suffering from horrible allergy's that keep her up all night coughing!.yes it's going to affect her score, unless she can study in between the heaving coughing spells!
She should not be coughing all night
Talk with Dr. about a better treatment plan.
Disrupted sleep will make her unable to concentrate as well and cranky.
Also some antihistamines trigger asthma so check with your dr.
Claritan usually does not cause drowsiness and Singular is another daily med for asthma/ allergies
But your Dr. needs to get her a treatment that works.
i shouldn't think so, I am asthmatic and also have been given antihistamines but the antihistamines aren't the same.
Her coughing at night might be the way she sleeps as i used to do that as i used to lay on 4 pillows know i have 2 and am breathing OK, also it might be the sheets. She also might be coughing due to the stress of the SATs, as Stress does have an effect on asthma.
Take care and tell you daughters GOOD LUCK!!
