| p.s. my sister-in-law who is based in washington, usa has 3 eczema/very allergic children. her children takes zrytec daily (whether there is a reaction or not) as a maintenance drug to prevent development of brochial asthma according to her dr. for allergic reactions (hives, edema), she gives them benadryl and elocon for bad flare-ups. for rough, bumpy skin, she applied acid mantle compounded with 1% hydrocortisone. she uses aquaphor as the emollient. i'm trying the same regime. my dr prescribed zadec (asmafen) for bad flare-ups. i try not to give this due to the side effects. has anyone heard about this drug? |
