Ok,heres what we do at our house since the majority of us have allergies. First of all,go to the allergist! He will test your son to see what exactly he’s allergic to,and then he can tailor the treatment to the timing of what he’s allergic to. For example,one of us is only allergic to trees,so the dr.will soon be weaning that child off his meds in the coming month since that is when the tree season ends. However,another child is allergic to all trees,grasses and weeds,so her meds must continue thru the fall.
Second,besides for an early blocker-think claritan,allegra,zyrtec-we also use a late blocker called singulair. This drug has worked wonders fir all of us,myself included!
Thirdly,we are on prescription nose sprays,some of us are even on two different ones at the same time!
And fourthly,we are on prescription eye drops,and one child,who’s eyes were like slits and very puffy he looked Chinese,is on two prescription eye drops,one in the morning and one before bed.
All this is of course in addition to keeping the house as dust free as possible as well as what aries mentioned.
Hatzlocha!
