You are surely allergic to it. I have the same problem. I suggest for you to go to a doctor. I went to the doctor and he told me I was just mildly allergic to it because if I was really allergic my throat would close up, and if I did not get help right away I would not be able to breathe. Good luck and I found out I had other allergies too so you could ask your doctor! hope you feel better!!!!

Drink 2 glasses of orange juice a day, and have someone heat some water and give you a mug of Therma flu anohter Therma forumula. while you're at it, pray- and every time you sneeze, keep saying no. If you can order from someone who sells Watkins Vanilla and other products of that brand, order a liquid medicine they have, that you put it on a hanky. Then put it on one and breath it. The effect will be strong and almost hard to handle at first. Keep doing all of the above.

allergy medicines might help...and though painful, trying to get the stingers out might help a lot if you can get them. try not to hurt your face though.

your best bet is to get them to a physocologist first to get a handle on these attacks, then take it one day at time.  It sucks but thats better than the altenative.

You have every right to be nervous. In this type of allergy even the fumes from peanuts, almonds or any nut can be fatal, an allergy is not dose dependant meaning it does not matter how much peanut but simply the presence of them. You have to do what you are doing and take charge because everyone else does not understand and that can be fatal. I hope you have all the antihistamines, and an Epi-pen on hand just in case he does eat peanuts. This will provide a window of time to get him to the ER. In time your son will be old enough to take care of himself, if others around you are so dense, then keep them away from your son. I heard a story about a kid who was extremely allergic and ate a piece of cake with no nuts, but the knife used to cut his cake was used on another cake that did have peanuts. He ate his cake and died, this is not joke a very serious condition. Take care and stand up to the idiots.

Don't want to seem funny mate, but if your child has that many allergies you should be talking to a nutritionist, because you don't know what half cocked advice you are going to get on here.\nChicken and potatoes seem to avoid them, but not knowing how old the poor little thing is complicates it.\nGo to the doctors and bang on the desk until he sorts summat out\n\nGood Luck mate\n\nChris

Have you seen an allergist?  My guess would be allergies, but you may need your adenoids taken out.  Try an over the counter decongestant like Pseudophed.  Then go to your doctor and ask for some nasal spray and maybe some Claratin or whatever.  The combo should relieve the symptoms.  If this doesn't work, then you can rule out allergies and talk to your doc about other causes.

This is just in response/advice for handling a severe allergic reaction-  \n\nPeople who have had severe allergic reactions, i.e., throat closing up, ought to carry around an epi-pen, an rx medicine that they can self-administer in case of another severe allergic reaction.  This medicine can prevent the allergic reaction your mom first went to the hospital for.

Yikes, quick ask a doctor!  Sorry, but tightness in the chest is a serious symptom so don't look for an amateur explanation.

Get rid of the cat - hah, I say.  Unless you and your friend cohabitate that's a bit extreme.\n\nMy best friend is allergic to cats and we meet elsewhere and I make sure that I've brushed all the cat hair off my personage.  If we do need to meet at my place I make sure I vaccuum and dust before he arrives and lock the cats up in the bedroom so they won't get near him.  \n\nHe makes sure he takes anti-histamine and allergy meds.\n\nWe both give a bit and it works just fine.

The underlying cause should be detected and treatment taken.\nDon't smoke and stay away from secondhand smoke. \nIf you have seasonal allergies like hay fever, stay indoors during days when airborne allergens are high. If possible, keep the windows closed and use an air conditioner. Avoid fans that draw in air from outdoors. Shower and change your clothes after being outside. \nIf you have allergies year round, cover your pillows and mattress with dust mite covers, use an air purifier, and avoid pets and other triggers. \nPlease see the webpages for more details on Cough.

If you have tightness in your chest as you breathe, you may have asthma and/or allergies compromising your lung capacity.  There are treatments for that but one of the best ones is to expand your natural lung capacity with gradual-paced, regular cardiovascular exercise, going slowly until you can push yourself harder...\n\nIf it isn't a breathing issue, you may want to ask about synecope (pronounced sin-EH-coh-pee).  This is what happens when your blood pressure is in the low end of the normal range, and changes in your bodily posture end up causing sudden drops in upper-body blood pressure (do you get dizzy if you have to get up *straight* to your feet in the morning from your bed?  That is the classic sign of it.).
