Hello: Well just another issue going on over this way. I sware I may drive myself nuts trying to pinpoint the cause of my sons (14 mos old) fussiness and just unhappy mood most of the day.
He had a severe allergic reaction to amoxillion when he was 8 mos. old. Our doctor sent us to be allergy tested. He came up positive on the skin prick test for Soy, Pet Dander, Mold Spores and Oak Tree Pollen. Also showed positive to egg white and shellfish, but he said not to worry about those because it was a very very low #.
Anyhow I called the allergist back today to see if I could have him re-tested and they said they normally do not re-test 5 mos. later. He asked questions like: Does he sneeze alot, Are his eyes red, does he have a runny nose, stuffy nose, dry cough, etc. i answered Yes to everyone one. Every since birth Zach has had a cough and either a runny or stuffy nose. He always rubbs his eyes and ears and always seems tired and very irritable.
The allergist prescribed him 1 ml. of zyrtec at bedtime.
Does anyone has any experience with this and if it helped. This could be the answer to all of our problems. I know when my allergies/ sinuses act up, I feel just out of it, no energy, cranky, tired, etc.
Thanks,
Wendy
