This sucks! Bug bites all over my feet/ankles

DH and I went to a wedding Saturday evening and I just knew I would have tons of bites. And I do. I mean probably 50 on each foot/ankle. I had been trying to call my doctor's office all morning in between customers at work and the line has been busy. I finally got ahold of them and they told me either Benadryl or Zyrtec, no Claritin. I left work and went over to Rite Aid and asked the pharmacist too just to be sure. I bought Zyrtec and I am hoping I don't fall asleep at work. *headdesk*

Re: This sucks! Bug bites all over my feet/ankles

  • That sucks. But zyrtec shouldn't make you sleepy. 

    Bendryl may, but zyrtec shouldn't. It's typically used for allergies, and has never made me drowsy ever. Feel better!

  • Ick. I hope the Zyrtec helps! It never makes me sleepy.

    Are they chiggers? I had tons of chigger bites on my ankles a few years ago - I actually have some tiny scars from them because I scratched them in my sleep so much. I ended up wrapping my ankles in gauze overnight so that I couldn't scratch them anymore.

  • OMG - that sounds horrific.

    My swollen feet itched so bad my last two weeks of pregnancy, it lead me to tears on multiple occasions. That's the worst. I'm so sorry, hopefully the zantac works quickly.

  • Oh man! :( Hope the zyrtec works!

  • Yikes! I hate bug bites! I really hope the zyrtec works.

  • Ugh, this happened to me with mosquito bites and a bee sting in the last weeks of my pregnancy. I never thought to take anything for it, I just suffered through. Hope the Zyrtec works - it definitely won't make you drowsy!
