Summertime, Fenistil-time

Filed in archive Allergy Medications , Hay Fever on June 16, 2006

Summer is here! The time of the year we're supposed to spend a lot of time outdoors and enjoy the sun, the warmth, and all the various activities we can do only during summer! Fun, fun, fun!

Unfortunately, not so for my son. The last week, he's been suffering from itchy nose, itchy eyes, itchy skin. As I've mentioned, I suspect it's allergy to pollen. Although it seems that allergy tests seems would have to be done evnetually, my husband and I are still debating upon the timing. But I digress.

Anyway, to manage his symptoms, I've been giving him Fenistil drops the last few days. It's the same medication we use when he shows food allergy symptoms. A single dose of 12 drops in the morning seems to be enough to keep the worst at bay. Apart from that, just regular Flushing with a nasal spray of salt solution seems to help.

I hope his allergies eases up before we'd have to use the nebulizer!
