Aubrielle was prescribed some ...I feel your pain!!! Aubrielle was prescribed some sort of allergy medication at 4 months as well. These type of things run in my side of the family. You will find that there are certain times of the year that he is more aggrivated than others. Particularly when the weather changes, wind especially, and rain included. So far all of my children have had problems. I have used claritin (generic form of course!) and the thing that I don't like about that is it takes some time to build up in your system and actually work. But it doesn't cause the drowsiness. I use benadryl a lot. Mostly at bed time because it does make them sleepy, and if they are really bad I will give it at nap time too. Having a humidifier and a vaporizer is good too, I will use either one depending on the weather. Put a pillow under the mattress so that his head is elevated - that can help with the coughing. Vicks doesn't hurt either. Aubrielle is the worst, she has been given inhalers for the coughing, but I have found that taking her in the bathroom with the shower running hot water on full blast and having her sit in the steam for 10 minutes or so really works well. Delysm works well for coughing too, once he is old enough to take it. Whew, sorry for jabbering! I hope that some of that helps :)Lozano Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08640019478821835467noreply@blogger.com
