Guest guest Posted June 11, 2007 Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 We are having a really really bad season w/allergies this year. erika is on xoponex at least 3 times a day, flovent 2/day, singular, ryantan and again yesterday we had to give her another does of predisone. she has been tested by an allergiest, who says she has none. we are seeing pulmonlogist again on wednesday. just wondering if it is our climate here in New York which everyone is complaining about or a CHARGE thing and what others do. She suffers every spring for about 3 months, and secretions are so bad to begin with this makes it so much worse.

Guest guest Posted June 11, 2007 Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 Dear Cathie- You didn't mention whether or not has been diagnosed with GERD or reflux. was treated for allergies and asthma for several years, and suffered many upper respiratory infections and bronchitis episodes as a result of succumbing to the excessive irritation and mucous. After he started taking Prilosec all allergy and asthma symptoms vanished. Apparently he was silently aspirating refluxed contents from his stomach. He was not officially diagnosed with GERD. The ph probe test was negative. However our doctor tried the prilosec anyways, and after a few weeks we could smell the healing in 's throat and his asthma and allergies vanished. He has been on Prilosec ever since.
