Hi
Yes, it could be flu or non allergic rhinitis, though without examination cannot comment for sure. Take plenty of hot fluids. You would need to take anti-inflammatory drugs like ibuprofen too. If symptoms persist go for IV fluids.
Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!
My doctor thinks I might have a virus , so he put me on Tagaflu , when does that get into the system?
My allergies are acting up after I took a dust mite allergy shot on Wednesday, and I feel a lot of shoulder and neck pain and fatigue.
Have you dealt with non allergic rhinitis, could this be related, because I had something similar to this but not as bad as now with the weakness and malaise.
My doctor asked me if I want to go on IV fluid for 4-5 hours , which he feels there might be dehydration.
Do you think this would help in getting more energy.?
Hi
Mainly the eosinophil count. Allergy can be due to high count and high count can also cause allergy. High eosinophil count is mostly due to parasitic infestations.
Hope this helps. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!
Thanks for your response.
I had a CBC done 2 weeks ago and all was normal.
I got an allergy shot today. I think my immune system is down, but wouldnt the CBC
show it. What items in the CBC should you look for to find out.
Thanks
Hi
Thanks for writing to the forum!
Allergies can cause weakness. However you must also look into other causes. Diabetes can cause both weakness and exacerbate allergies. Weakness and fatigue can also be due to anemia, hypothyroidism and low white cell count. Hypothyroidism is related to allergies too, especially the autoimmune variant—Hashimotos. Wearing a mask, especially designed for people with dust and pollen allergy will help filter a lot of allergens.
It is difficult to comment beyond this at this stage. You should get some blood tests done like CBC. Do consult your doctor and discuss this with him.
Hope this helps. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!
