| My 4 year old has allergies, HELP?
I know I need to get him into an allergy specialist as soon as possible but it's the weekend and even when I get an appointment it will probably take a couple weeks to get in. He keeps breaking out in hives and he get's all itchy and they can be just a few or there can be many. They usually start around his neck but I have seen them all over his body. Sometimes his lips get swallon or even his privates. Right now his side of his face is swallon. Half of his nose, half his lips and under one eye, he doesn't have very many bumps today but he did yesterday. I always give him a bath when I relize this but it never makes a difference. He took Benadryl already and always takes Singular (which he takes for a bacteria that he was born with in his stomache). Yesterday he had it happen when we where out at the store so I didn't know if it could be really bad outdoor allergies.
I can think of anything new that he's been exposed to but we do have a cat and 3 dogs. We always have tho
I have taken him to 3 different family practitioners and no one wants to do any allergy testing until he gets older but these symptom are getting out of hand. It only happened once in a wile before and now it is happening almost daily. He went to Florida for a week with my parents and he had no problems. He came home and was fine for 2 weeks and then all the symtoms came back. Tomorrow I am definitly getting him to some doctor and demanding he gets tested for allergies. I saw the swelling going down and then we went shopping and it swelled back up.
