How Can Allergic Wheezing And Breathing Difficulty Be Treated?

My husband is allergic to cats. Due to the hurricane, we have had our 2 cats inside. He takes a 24 allergy medication that helps. But when it gets bad, he typically takes Benadryl and is soon better. Tonight he took 2 Benadryl and it seemed to help. But then he got a head ache, said he was very cold, and after he fell asleep has been wheezing and breathing difficultly. Should I be concerned? What should I do?

Hi welcome to the health care magic

Allergic inflammation leads here headache and cold

Benadryl can lead sedation so sleepiness present

Here your work up needed with...
-Auscultation
-Spirometry for assess severity if needed
-if symptoms severe than x ray for bronchitis
-CBC with AEC

If AEC count more than 400 than Allegra M course taken for 10 to 15 days...

Stream inhalation done two times a day

Turmeric powder one tsp added in hot milk and taken daily

Take care

With keeping these in mind consult allergy specialist or pulmonologoist
