Allergy or What?

When getting my 2 year old ready for dinner i took her shirt off and found red sploches that looked like hives all over her chest and tummy. I have no clue what it is... I have her Zyertec and just watched her to make sure it didnt spread or any breathing problems...which were none. She ate nothing different than what she has eaten before. She ate eggs and lunch meat for lunch. She did wear a new t-shirt that i dont think i washed before putting it on her. Do you think it could be a sudden egg allergy or something she is...

Recommendations for Allergist

Does anyone have a recommendation for a good allergist around Dublin? When my son was a week old, we discovered he had a dairy and soy intollerances. I am breastfeeding, so I eliminated those from my diet. Now that I'm aware of the various symptoms of food allergies, I believe that he and I both have several food allergies. I want to find a good allergist that can help me identify what I have issues with in the hopes that I can eliminate those items (and help my son as well).

Egg Allergy ?????

I have given my son eggs 5 times. A couple times he had scrambled eggs and a couple times cheese omelette. Today i tried eggs again 3 out of the 5 times he has had eggs within a 1/2 hour after he is vomitting. Once I said oh maybe he had too much one time we had been at a restaurant and then went in the car so I blamed it on riding right after eating but today he had a small amount of egg about 1/2 of one egg and we were at home and sure enough he vomitted everywhere. My son is 14 months old. and is it possible for this to be an egg allergy...

Where Do You Keep Your Medications?

I've recently begun to second guess my decision to keep our medications (everything from Adult Tylenol and Motrin, Probiotics like Culturelle and Florastor, homeopathic cough medicine Chestal, and other immune boosters, like Sumbocol, which are VERY expensive) in our bathroom. According to the insert, it says they should be kept in a cool dark place where the temp is 68 to 77 degrees, which is our bathroom on most occassions, accept when we take a shower, or give our soon a bath and the bathroom gets steamy. I'm concerned that this may...

Allergic to Dairy

My one year old is allergic to dairy. This was easy when he was on formula and baby food because I didn't really worry about. Now I am feeding him Rice Milk but I am having a hard time with snacks and table food. Most of what I make for my family has milk or cheese or some other dairy product in it. He will not eat any fruit. So that is out as far as snacks go. Also, the doctor said to go with the rice milk but why not soy? Does soy milk contain dairy or what is the issue with that? I know I should have spoke with the doctor...

Nut Allergic Child and Sports

Hi! I have a nut allergic son who has been having severe reactions. Recently, he had a reaction from touching my daughter's new basketball that was handed to her by an assistant at the school. I could only speculate that she may have had some nut product for breakfast and then touched the ball, which my son then touched. So, my question is how do you handle sports activities with a severely nut allergic child? If he plays any sport where he is touching equipment (ball, bat, mat, etc.) that other children are contacting and those other...

New House with Pet Dander?

We are thinking about moving into a new home. One of the houses that we are really interested in has a cat and dog. Three out of six of us have pet allergies. My son is the one I am most worried about because he has asthma. His main trigger is pet dander. We are wondering if it is worth the trouble to try to move into this home. If we get the carpets cleaned, ducts cleaned and remove all the window treatments, is this enough? Has anyone experienced this? How long does it take for all dander to finally be gone forever? I hate to...

Help, My Son Won't Take His Medicine!

Ben, 2 1/2, is on antibiotics for a possible staph infection on his cheek (again). I'm having the hardest time getting him to take his medicine. He wont take it willingly, he will just spit it out. I have to have him take it, else he will end up in the hospital like last year for 5 days on IV antibiotics. I've tried bribing him with lots of different candy, but he still wont take it. I've tried mixing it with applejuice, but he still tastes it and wont drink it. I've tried doing it very slowly while he is sleeping, but he will just...
