I'm really worried because my mom is allergic to diclofenac and also has a dust allergy. We haven't gotten her COVID results yet, and I'm thinking about giving her ivermectin as a precaution. But I'm concerneddoes ivermectin have any diclofenac in it? Can you advise us on whether it's safe for her?

Every morning when I wake up, I can't stop sneezing. It's like a nonstop sneeze-fest. On top of that, I've noticed that my dark circles under my eyes are getting worse each day. I'm curious if there's any connection between these two things. What's causing this?

The sneezing could be due to allergic rhinitis, and the dark circles could be a result of nasal congestion causing poor sleep quality. For the sneezing, you can try taking an antihistamine like Claritin (loratadine) once daily in the morning to help with allergies. To address the dark circles, you can try using an over-the-counter decongestant like Sudafed (pseudoephedrine) to help with nasal congestion and improve sleep quality. Make sure to also maintain good sleep hygiene and consider using a humidifier in your bedroom to help with any nasal congestion.
