Runny Nose - Liberal,KS

Hello K.,

once you have your baby tested for allergies, keep her away from allergens. one of the biggest culprits is milk. keep in mind that anyone allergic to ragweeds shouldn't eat sunflower seeds, oil, etc. also safflower is a ragweed. so are dandelions, daysies, etc. oh, yes, lettuce is a ragweed. once you know what she's allergic to, you can control her environment better. by eliminating milk from my son's diet he needs 75% less medication. that's a big difference! Good luck and get to the bottom of it. ~C.~

Have you thought about using children's Zyrtec or Benadryl? I use saline water and a bulb syringe on my 5 month old daughter. Have you considered food allergies or checked to see if she's teething? I know it's frustrating trying to figure out what your daughters trigger is! My son has Asthma...so I know what you mean about the runny nose thing!

I hope I helped!

Using Saline & a humidifer helps my son (and me as well). He can't take OTC allergy meds because they cause urine retintion, so I have a Rx for Nasonex and it is WONDERFUL!!! It works so incredibly well!!! If the OTCs don't fix it, you might try that as well!

I don't know about what's okay for your baby, but I take Zyrtec and Nasonex and that combo has worked wonders for me.
