Allergies in a preschooler - please help

[Guest guest]

Hello everyone,

 

I suspect that my 2.5 year old is getting allergies. I'm highly allergic - hay

fever, pet dander, you name it. The past 2 weeks I've noticed a lot of sneezing

and coughing. The thing that concerns me the most is my worst allergy is to

cats and she goes to an in home daycare with 2 cats. Now, the cats aren't

around the kids, but obviously there are always allergens around. She's been

there for a year and we haven't had any symptoms until now. I was hoping by

introducing her to cats early that she might not have the allergy. It could

also be outdoor stuff because I know mine are starting to act up.

 

That being said, should I make an appointment with her pediatrician and try to

get allergy testing? Should I try something natural or over the counter? I've

seen " Little Allergies Allergen Block " on the market - does it work? What should

I do?

 

If you could share any insights with me I would appreciate it.

 

Thanks,

Paula

I would keep her away from the cats! 

The pediatrician can order for Ig E allergy testing for Upper Respiratory

Infections which would tell you what she is allergic to in her airways. 

The easiest way is keep her away from whatever she is allergic to.

Avoidance doesn't get you anywhere, only good very temporarily. There are

holistic therapies and nutrition that does resolve allergies permanently. I

played the allergy test, treatment and avoidance thing myself, not an answer.
