Allergist V/s Pediatritian

Hello moms, my son's pediatrician has prescribed us Nasacort nose spray then Claritin, Benadryl, Singulair, none seem to work for him. I'm wondering if I should take him to an Allergist. Will an allergy doctor really do anything more for him? I went through all the allergy tests myself, went for allergy shots for a while, but they didn't really help me. Is it worth putting a 4-1/2 year old through all the testing? Will an allergist to more then the pediatritian?

Allergy Shots for 7 Yr. Old Son?

Hi Moms! Do any of you have any experience -- good or bad -- with having your child receive weekly allergy shots? My husband and I are on the fence with this because of potential side effects. My son has year-round/indoor-outdoor allergies. He is basically allergic to everything! He has been on Zyrtec and Nasonex daily for one year w/out much improvement. His adenoids are fine. We have followed Dr.'s order mostly w/ the exception of bathing my 100 lb dog twice weekly and the doc says the shots are really the best alternative for him now...

Pulmicort - Steroids for Asthma/Lung Issues

Do any of you have children who have taken Pulmicort or another steroid for asthma/lung issues. My son was born 3 months premature and therefore had immature lungs. In addition he had a chest tube for a pneumo-thorax and pneumonia all in the first two weeks of life, came home on oxygen, etc. This was all a year ago and he's doing incredible. Has been off of oxygen since April. All of that said, he is struggling with weather changes and the cold and flu season. A tiny cold leads to wheezing and bronchiolitis almost every time. My doc...

11 Month Old Prescribed Pulmicort

My 11 month son who wheezes from time to time had a recheck on his ear infection today. Well he was wheezing today and the doctor prescribed Pulmicort to use in his nebulizer twice a day. We already use the albuterol as needed, but not on a regular basis. She said the Pulmicort would prevent asthma symptoms, even though she said he is not officially diagnosed as asthmatic because they do not diagnose asthma in children until they are two years of age. I am concerned about the Pulmicort because I have been doing research and have found...
