[quote=Anonymous]My kid has really bad allergies. At his worst, he needs albuterol and flovent for allergy induced asthma, two different prescription nasal sprays (one for every day use and one as needed for emergencies when his eyes swell shut), and Allegra. He has also used Benadryl for what was believed to be an allergy induced rash and he has been on Singulair which didn't really help.

Right now, he uses the nose spay and takes allegra every day. This seems to have his summer allergies under control. As we enter fall, what we believe are leaf mold allergies are sure to start up. Who knows what we'll be dealing with at that point. This year has been worse than last year. DS is 4 yrs old.

We used our cool mist humidifier all last winter, but you'd be crazy to use one in this hot and humid weather!

At some point we will see an Allergist to try and identify exactly what is causing the allergies. All the guessing is what bothers me most. I feel like we just throw medicine at him. I'm not ready to do shots yet for some of the reasons PPs have mentioned.

I don't really have any advice. Just commiserating.[/quote]
