But I've also been told that my kiddos are too young for testing. I hadn't looked in to any OTC medications yet to help with the discomfort. Perhaps I should have some on hand just in case the symptoms get worse as we head into summer.reanbeanhttp://www.reanbean.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-998204900912962092.post-6108114887497055912010-05-05T20:07:15.120-06:002010-05-05T20:07:15.120-06:00Oh, good luck with this!

We found a doctor who did test him and take it seriously--come to find out my little guy has multiple severe allergies and needs to carry an epi pen. He also takes claritin.<br /><br />My advice would be to find a doctor who will do an Ige and and Igg allergy test. Those results are pretty definitive.Cheriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07612885817539532927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-998204900912962092.post-46626240962408461782010-05-04T12:28:49.272-06:002010-05-04T12:28:49.272-06:00I need to look into Benadryl.

I didn't want to give it because of the drowsiness, but since I've been giving them OTC meds before bed time it wouldn't be an issue.Quadmamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12811147214370454309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-998204900912962092.post-42164207478924485342010-05-04T12:09:52.806-06:002010-05-04T12:09:52.806-06:00I have never had allergies at all, but this year w...I have never had allergies at all, but this year we all got them-my girls have had lots of luck with non drowsy children's Zyrtec!

And the next week, not mold but trees, ect. I guess when they are this young, they don't always stick around, and so the testing could be for nothing. I just got my allergies tested at 30, and am basically allergic to everything, except mold. And one of my daughters has bad allergies. She is on Singulair (I am too) and we give her non drowsy Claritin (2+) and she seems to be feeling a lot better. Try the Claritin, and maybe talk to your doctor about Singulair? We both have been feeling much better. :)<br />Sorry for the novel!Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03133112426691403173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-998204900912962092.post-2282164575364972922010-05-04T10:30:45.094-06:002010-05-04T10:30:45.094-06:00Hmm, I'd push it.

I talked to the doctor about Jessica, and he said that if Benadryl was managing her symptoms without too much drowsiness, to stick with that. If it gets worse, we're to try over-the-counter kid Zyrtec (I think). If that still doesn't work, he'll give us a recommendation for an allergist.<br /><br />I don't understand the philosophy of "they're too young to deal with their discomfort".Sadiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04042551936789254047noreply@blogger.com
