We think my son may have allergies! He has been congested with a non stop runny nose for months now!…

I think my dd has allergies as well. I do and when mine act up she seems to as well. I want to have her tested too. I know they aren't severe so I'm not too worried about it but it's definitely good to know so I can try to sooth her symptoms even just a little. My sister has severe allergies to the point she was hospitalized after that she was tested for what specific things she was allergic to. That's when they inject many of these potential allergies just under the skin and see what they'll react too. I don't think that's what they'll do though. Most likely they'll just ask you the symptoms and what it's like outside when it happens and have you give them allergy meds and see if it works. If it does its allergies.

Thank you so much!!

My kids have Terrible seasonal allergies. When it's bad they get a nasty cough with it. Her doctor doesn't want to test them. However my oldest was on Claritin at 1 and now she has Claritin AND nasacort when it's bad.

My youngest takes Benadryl or Claritin. It depends on the severity of her allergies.

They say that about all kids they said that with 4 out of 5 of my kids honestly it’s just the seams changing

@nerdymommyplus2 what are the doses for claritin for a child thats not 2 yet? My sons 1

@aponder106

It goes by age not weight unlike tyenol... I had a chart. Let me find it

* always consult pediatrician*

I don't want someone jumping down my throat.

Also make sure it's Claritin not Claritin D.

My toddler is 2 months older and takes 3.75 ML.

Thank you!!!
