Re: allergies and CF--is it worse?

,

My son is 7 months and has symptoms of allergies as well. Although

he is to young for them to show up with test.

He has been on Zyrtec since he was 4months it is the only thing

that keeps him somewhat clear. I know at one point it was not for

younger than 2 years of age. Last thing I heard was that it was ok for

as young as 6 months now.

I hope this helps It really helps my little Colgan out.

Good luck,'

dogs a dust mites, the testing was very stressful for him and me! He struggled

so much he got a nosebleed. we were rx'd Zyrtec & Nasonex. I didn't have any

foods tested ,maybe when he is older. Hope Your Dr can help you out with Ashton.

allergies and CF--is it worse?

My son has come down with allergies, we think to Ragweed which is

really bad here in Kansas right now. He has a runny nose, watery

eyes and sneezes. His nose is pretty clear at night but he keeps

swallowing nasal fluid I think. He coughs a lot with all that stuff

running down his throat. Does CF make an allergy reaction worse? We

tried Rondec and Benadryl but nothing dried him up enough to let us

all sleep. We started him on Flonase last night too--one puff per

nostril. I am going to see the pediatrician in a few hours but

thought I would seek the input of all those more experienced moms out

there. I have heard that Zyrtec works. He is only 29 months so we

can't do some medications.

Thanks!
