I would recommend Nasonex or Beconase AQ. You will need a prescription. Both are steroidal nasal sprays. It is recommended that you start the medication nearly a week before exposure, because the nasal spray can take up to five days to start working. In my experience, it works better than any antihistamines. Allergy shots can take up to five years to get the maximum benefits.

I have two Pits. My female has the same problem.. I thought the same thing about the food. So I changed their food all the time. No results… Then I started asking people.. I got several suggestions but the one that worked best for me was a shampoo called Selsun Blue Medicated for humans.. About three baths later she started getting her hair back.. But it was a struggle w/ the fleas because she kept scratching her self.. When I got her out of the dirt & got rid of the fleas I started having better luck…

Cut up a lemon into several tiny slices, and place the pieces into a small bowl. Dump honey in the bowl until you’ve drowned and completely covered the lemon slices. Place a sheet of plastic wrap over the bowl, and refrigerate it (not freeze) overnight.
In the morning, take one of the slices and eat it, peel and all. Place the rest of the honey-soaked lemon slices back in the fridge, and eat one the next morning. Repeat.

Hi
You should go to the Doctors, you could be a Coeliac,which means you could be allergic to gluten,rye,wheat, barley, and oats,your Doctor will refer you to the Hospital, you will need to have a blood test and have a small biopsy taken from your intestines (you are asleep),and see a Dietician who will help you on all the foods you can eat,
Did you have this test done at your doctor’s, because if you didn’t, sometimes they can be wrong, Being a coeliac is very difficult, you have to read all the labels when food shopping,If I were you I would eat home cooked food, fish,chicken, meat, and vegetables,be careful with gravy, look out for,Bisto best gravy granules,they are gluten free, beef,chicken,onion, pork & vegetable, they all start with roast,Heinz produce are mostly gluten free,
Go to your Doctors A.S.A.P.
Good Luck

I’m not absolutely sure dear but I certainly hope your son is feeling better. And I hope you’re OK too. I know what it’s like to have to run to the emergency room with a sick child.

It could be anything. Take him to the vet, the same a him someone you know had a spot on their skin. Sadly, it could be cancer.

Try Clariton. That’s what I use. Although I don’t have major allergies to animals, I do have allergies when it comes to pollen, hay and smoke. If you get the 24 hour one, it works all day

Allergy is an immune system response, an adverse drug reaction isn’t. The consequences are so similar that the real world difference between the two is mostly just that avoiding a drug is a lot easier than avoiding all the usual traces of an allergen. (It isn’t technically ‘proper’ to say ‘drug allergy’; you should say ‘adverse reaction’ even though just this week I’ve been asked, again, by Dr.s, am I allergic to any drugs…)
