Hi there\n\nAllergies are a pain in the butt, I have hayfever and for years the same thing happened to me, major sinus headaches and stuffed nose, sore throat every morning when I got up.  I used to take an antihistime before bed, sometimes it would be too drying and I'd have a nosebleed.  What I finally did was buy an air conditioner because of other health problems and it helped.  But you could try an air cleaner with a hepa filter that's supposed to filter out alot of pollens and dust/dirt that comes in the windows.  Pollens are higher at nighttime and early morning so if you can open your window and cool things off earlier in the day, then shut it and use a fan and air cleaner it might help.  You could get allergy shots too that would help desensitize you from the pollens.

SEE A PEDIATRICIAN! thast's first of all, also you may want to start keeping a journal of everything worn, eaten and done by him. Include what you washed the clothes in, how the food was prepared, where he goes, anything you can think of....Record also when he gets the hives, then show it to your pediatrician, and this will help them figure out what's wrong faster, b/c each time a reaction occurs it gets worse.

I live in northeast Alabama and I have bad seasonal allergies and right now I am doing the best I've done all year. I don't know what could be blooming right now over there I think that most everything is dead now. I wonder if your having indoor allergy problems. It could be mold.

If you're suffering now you're likely to be allergic to tree pollen.  Classic "hay-fever" is an allergy to grass pollen, which I suffer from, and comes on later in the year.  Prescription drugs turn me into something out of The Hills Have Eyes, so I can sympathise with your wish for something natural.  Homeopathic remedies worked for me for couple of years, but don't any more alas.  I got through last season with a eye drop remedy called Hay-Crom and Beconase nasal spray, but these rarely work for more than one season at a go -- pills like Clarityn stop working after a week or so.  Because you mention the heating it sounds like you may also have a dust or pet-hair allergy which is making things worse.

I have had both of those allergies, but when I took all my vitamins my immune system got stronger and I slowly tried those foods again and my immune system didn't react so strongly. Talk to your doctor about vitamins. GOOD LUCK! I hope you feel better! I hated having it!

Anywhere COLD and snowy.  Hot sunny beaches are extremely depressing to me, summertime depressions me to the point of having to be medicated until cooler weather starts back.  It doesn't help that I'm also allergic to the sun.  I stay inside all summer with thermal drapes drawn and only come out at night, PS I also work as a Phlebotomist (drawing blood), hummmm, might be a connection there.  Seriously, anywhere COLD.

Unfortunately, allergies can develop at any time in your life.  You can try an over the counter antihistimine to see if your symptoms are allevieated.  Your local pharmacist is an excellent resource and can answer most of your questions about allergies.  If that doesnt help though you should definetely see your doctor.  Also you should see your doctor if you have any temperature.

you need to see a doctor. at temperatures this high for such a period of time, your enzymes in your body begin to denaturize, or unwind. since your young, this probally doesnt make too much sense, but it can become a bad situation. call someone, your grandma, aunt, uncle, family friend. having a temperature of 102 or more can be dangerous if not controlled. take a NSAID such as tylenol or advil, alternating them. your best bet would be to use motrin. drink lots of water and take vitamin c, if you have any, if not, eat lots of fruit, but most importantly, get some help from a medical professional, for your healths sake!

Count me in. \n\nI took allergy shots for three years and it helped a lot. Now I have mild cases in Spring and very rare cases in the rest of the year. \n\nWhy don't you go to the Immunology Dept. of an University Hospital; they may help with new treatments- at least to minimize the problem.

saline to moisten the nose and drink lots of water, gargle, and steam and do this every day. I've got year round allergies and I empathize with you.:O)

Assuming he has seasonal allergies, he could try a supplement with proanthrocyanins and quercitin, like products "allerquell" or "grape seed extract".  Most importantly he should AVOID triggers and pro-inflammatories such as dairy products, citrus juices (orange, grapefruit, etc.), high histamine fruits like strawberries, red meat, processed sugars and processed white breads.  Encourage more intake of fresh non-fried fish, lime or lemon water, fruits like peaches, pears, banana, blueberries, cranberries.  Consider an EFA (essential fatty acid) supplement containing omego 3-6-9 if his fish intake is low (less than 2 serving per week).  \n\nObviously, he should get lots of rest, as staying up long nights depletes his energy.\n\nHis main living areas (bedroom, living room) should be allergen reduced by keeping windows entering into these spaces closed; no pets or people's dirty clothes carrying dander and pollens allowed into these areas; dry clothing in a dryer (not clothesline).  Ensure he washes before going to bed to reduce pollen and dander exposure to him overnight.\n\nGive this a month and see if it helps.  Good luck.

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.

i have a holistic/natural remedy for you.  get some local honey (honey made in your local area) and take one tablespoon a day.  within two weeks you should notice a remarkable improvement.\n\nhow it works:  the bees collect pollen from plants in your area (pollen is what makes your nose runny, itchy and sneeze) and make honey with it.  by ingesting a small amount you are building up your natural immunity to the ACTUAL allergens that are bothering you.  \n\nthis is amazing, inexpensive and tastes yummy.  if you don't want to swallow a spoon of honey, add it to your tea, coffee, cereal etc.\n\nhappy thoughts of great breathing, love, peace and light!

You can go to an allergist, referred by your primary care physician if your insurance allows.  They will subject you to hundreds of dollars worth of tests and come up with a list of things that you are allergic to.\n\nI have been battling allergies for years, was on a prescription drug for 3 years until the drug made me sick.  I use good old fashioned, over the counter, sudafed (store brand).  If my eyes start itching I'll also take benadryl before bed.\n\nYou might want to try some basic over the counter stuff before subjecting yourself to the doctors tortures, errr tests.
