[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Finally figured out that DS's terrible allergies are mainly from dust mites. Our top floor is carpeted, and the carpet is pretty old. The allergist said to get rid of the carpet but we JUST replaced all our siding and it will be a big lift to afford replacing with wood. We'd rather do the whole floor than just one room. For those that did this, did it make a big difference? We've covered the bed with allergy covers and put stuffed animals in plastic bins but hasn't seemed to help too much yet.[/quote]

May I ask what symptoms your child has? Mine is having long lasting sore throat that flares up for a few weeks then goes down ( the soreness is in the middle inside plus some stuffy nose). We did allergies, and dust mites showed the highest value. Not sure though if the throat is allergies and nasal drip or acid reflux [/quote]

Stuffy nose and itchy eyes that are worse every night when he goes to bed and wakes up in the morning. Its year round. The allergist also suggested allergy shots which sound way better than taking Flonase so often but I'm having a hard time imagining taking a 7 year old to get a shot every week for a year.[/quote]
