1) What is the name of allergy in which the person is allergic to alcohol?

"Tila Tequila Is Allergic to Alcohol!"
It’s Alcohol intolerance
Alcohol intolerance can cause immediate, unpleasant reactions after you consume alcohol. The most common symptoms caused by alcohol intolerance include nasal congestion and flushing skin. This condition is sometimes inaccurately referred to as an alcohol allergy. Alcohol intolerance is caused by a genetic condition in which the body is unable to break down alcohol. The only way to prevent alcohol intolerance is to avoid alcohol altogether.

In some cases, what may seem to be alcohol intolerance is caused by a reaction to something else in an alcoholic beverage — such as chemicals, grains or preservatives. In other cases, reactions are caused by combining alcohol with certain medications. Rarely, reactions to alcohol can be a sign of a serious underlying health problem that requires diagnosis and treatment.

What are some ways to prevent and/or treat asthma without the use of medications?

I seem to need either the Advair Diskus, Albuterol Inhaler, or Nebulizer with Albuterol Sulfate or a combination of them on a daily basis. I was wondering if there are certain types of things to do or foods to eat or anything else that can help prevent or treat asthma so that way I can maybe cut back on the medicine a little.

Dear Alex, I’m so glad to see you asking a question. I was worried about you.
I would suggest that you work with your doctor on getting your asthma under control first, then start to think of ways to help your symptoms without more medicine. I know you like to be healthy without medicine but if you have asthma, you must take your medicine or you could die the next time you have an asthma attack. It would make me so sad to know if you died because you didn’t take your medicine. Now, your asthma could be caused by an allergy. Many people have moved to places that are dry and warm/hot all the time (like Tucson, Arizona). For many people, the drier air clears the asthma. Of course, you can think of that sort of thing as a last resort. So, yeah, talk to your doctor about getting it under control first, then think of ways to combat it without medicine.

How does desensitization therapy and allergy shots work for people with allergies?

I have allergies all year round! Now allergy shots…the goal is to give gradual exposure so that the body can "get use to it" and become desensitized. It’s supposed to make the body react less to the allergens. But why haven’t the body "gotten use" to the allergens after years of exposure and symptoms already? Claritin and Zyrtec isn’t working…even with a combo usage of Sudafed. Help!?

For some reason, the pollens you are being exposed to are too strong for you to get used to them. The shots are much weaker; and then they gradually increase the dosage. I had allergy shots for nine years and it really helped. It may take a couple of years for you to see an improvement from the shots.

How can I help stop my asthma problem?

I haven’t had an asthma problem since I was a small child but today the temperature was in the single digits and unfortunately I had to be outside for awhile. I was completely bundled up but just breathing in the cold air has caused asthma symptoms. I was given some Advair but that didn’t really help and I have nothing else available. Are there any home remedies to help this?

Thank you!

cold dry air is irritant.S warm miost air is less so. Try that. Ideally a reliever lle Salbutamol would do the trick

Is it possible to develop an allergy to alcohol?

For the past three years, I have been an incredibly hard drinker. I could easily drink the better part of a liter of vodka, not be sick, and wake up the next day with a managable hangover. About three months ago, this all changed suddenly. Now whenever I have more than two beers, I wake up the next morning violently ill. I have frequent heartburn, constant nausea, and itchy skin if I have had any alcohol in the past 24 hours. Have I developed an allergy to alcohol? I’ve tried only drinking beer, or wine, or liqour to see if it was a particular kind, but they all make me feel wretched. What does this mean?

It’s not allergy derived by alcohol, the fact is that the liver who is responsible to metabolize all kinds of things such as the vitamins, proteins, carbohydrates and is the one responsible to produce enzymes to digest food and drinks maybe you have a burn or hurt liver that isn’t metabolizing alcohol the same way you have been doing for the past three years, because you gave your liver overwork and your liver doesn’t process the same way the amounts of alcohol you have drink for the past 3 years and your liver doesn’t produce the same quantity or amount of enzymes to digest it and that’s why you are feeling all those symptoms!

A possible solution to your problem is to stop drinking indefinetely because if you don’t cease drinking your liver problem could get worse and develop another illness called "cirossis" and with that illness you liver will not process properly not only drinks but food will be not digested the same way you do know! Drink pure water and eat vegetables and do a healthy diet to repair your liver functions and take digestive enzymes pills to help you and your liver to properly create enzymes to process food and drink!

Good Luck And Get Well!

What can help ease a minor asthma attack, without an inhaler?

I am 99% sure I have asthma. A few minutes ago I started getting sharp pains in my chest, and now my breathing has worsened. I have a doctors appointment tomorrow to get confirmation that it actually is asthma (if not something else)

But, as of right now I need something I can do for tonight that can help my breathing.

Over the counter Primatene Mist inhaler. They are around $20 but breathing would be worth it.

I know you said without an inhaler but I am thinking you meant a prescribed one.
