Is Allergy From A Dog Possible Despite Antihistamine Medications?

Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here... I hope so, I have been given loratadin for 3 weeks and now I'm taking roxitromicin (macroilid antibioticc). I'm wondering, is it possible to have an allergy to a dog (my husband bought it in the meantime), but the quantity antihistaminic could be keeping me safe so far. I have a cat and no allergy whatsoever thanks in advance

Welcome to HCM
I have read and understood your query and appreciate your health concern
You forgot to mention why were you prescribed the antiallergic and antibiotic?
Yes you can have allergy from the pets.It is possible to have dog allergy if you havent it from cats
But i cannot say anything for sure as you have not mentioned any symptoms or your history.
If you are taking the antiallergic,yes it does mask the symptoms.
I hope this was useful.You can get back with any other query
