Does benedryl help with peanut allergies??
Question: My child actually ate half of a roasted cashew and had similar allergic reaction to peanuts. I also read today that cashew have a greater allergic affect than peanuts.
Answers: Yes, people with peanut allergies are sometimes told by their doctors to keep Benadryl with them in case they are out somewhere and begin to have a reaction. However, nut allergies can be QUITE SEVERE and deadly, and if you suspect that your child may be allergic to nuts, I would strongly encourage you to take him to a doctor and get this verified. Some kids with nut allergies can go into anaphylactic shock quickly even if they do something as simple as shake hands with someone who has just eaten a peanut butter sandwich. It's not an allergy you should play guessing games with.
Cashews do seem to trigger stronger reactions in some people with nut allergies.
Please take your child in for allergy testing and some professional advice on how best to handle this condition. Nut allergies are so tricky -- nuts just seem to be in EVERYTHING, you know? Even in things you don't expect them to be in! You will need some professional advice on how to manage this condition. Take heart, however, in knowing that it's one of those allergies that kids oftentimes grow out of as they get older, so it may not be something they have to deal with forever. Good luck!
well i guess it depends on how bad.i have it really bad so it might slow down the allergic reaction a bit but i would still need to use an epi pen.
Benedryl seems to help itching; Chlor-trimton seems to help breathing. that is not a medical opinion, just what my husband and i have experienced over the years.
The Bindery won't hurt.
HOWEVER, if the allergy is scary enough to go to the ER, they recommend taking aspirin, not chlor-trimitons. I have no idea why.
no.ask doctore for medicine.that's for like sinus and allergies but not peanut allergies
benadryl might work, it depends on how severe the allergy is... she doesnt have an epinephrine pen? because those are made specifically for allergic reactions. if she doesnt you should talk to your doctor.
Sometimes Benadryl isn't enough to keep a person from going into anaphylactic shock. You can ask your doctor to prescribe an Epi pen for your son. Some people are allergic to all tree nuts and peanuts. Best of luck to you and yours!!
Benadryl is NOT just for itching. It is an antihistamine that quells the immune response.
If your daughter has an allergic reaction to nuts, you need to keep her away from them. The first time.. even the second time, the reaction may not be too bad.... but then.. BAAM.. it could be life threatening.
May I suggest you go to the Doctor and get her a prescription for an epipen...ALWAYS keep one on hand for a reaction.
My sister has severe peanut allergies. Yes, benadryl does help, but not for severe allergies. If an anaphylactic shock occurs, immediately get an Epi-Pen. Benadryl is fine to use, but just to be safe, have an epi pen handy.
almonds are the best nuts, almondbutter cost a little more but taste alot better and is much healthier for you.

Antihistamines don't work quickly enough to stem an anaphylactic reaction. You need some epi in severe cases.
Bendryl does help in allergies. But you should really bring her child to see a doctor for the appropriate treatment.
