A dose of Benadryl will not harm her -- and if it is an allergy, the symptoms should begin to clear up or improve. \n\nIf you see no improvement, head off the doctor (unless you are sure it's pink eye). Pink eye is pretty distinctive, so if it's not exactly as you would expect, consider a doctor.

It sounds like a yeast infection...and if she has been on anti-biotics she would be susceptible to one.  You can get liquid acidophiles at your local health food store (it comes in strawberry and blueberry flavors that kids usually like).  Give her 1-2 tsp a day while on anti-biotics and for 10 days after.  A friend of mine (who is a nurse)told me this trick for my son, whom the doctor was getting ready to have tubes put in his ears for ear infections.  He hasn't had an ear infection since.  Now I always give the acidophiles during anti-biotics to my family.  The anti-biotics kill off the good bacteria with the bad and it lowers the immune system.  Using pro-biotics (such as acidophiles) helps to counter act the down-side of anti-biotics.  Also, keep her off sugar (that includes fruit) until she clears up...sugar will feed the yeast and make it worse.  I would also let the doctor know that the symptoms haven't improved and make sure that it isn't something else besides a yeast infection.

Ultimately your baby's pediatrician would know best. However, if the baby has been taking formula...stick with that.  If he/she is cooperating, try 2nd step foods like infant cereal (basically rice cereal ground up really fine).  Only introduce one food at a time to the baby so you can watch for allergic reactions and stay away from fish, peanuts (peanut butter), eggs and such until the Doc gives you the "OK".

my son has all the same things done when he was 3. we got home and he coughed, and wouldn't you know it, blood all over the place! we ended up back in the hospital for a week! it can really happen, don't give her anything that is like children's Advil or Motrin, there is a component in those that can contribute to bleeding. see if the Dr will let her stay overnight even though they say it is a day surgery procedure that lasts about 2-3 hrs. just say you would rather be safe than sorry. i also think that age has a big part of it also. she is old enough to tell you if something feels wrong, but when they are younger they can't so they force themselves to cough to relieve the itch that comes along with healing. good luck

She digested something she is allergic to. To be on the safe side, bring her to see the family doctor or to a near by walk in clinic, to check it out, if it reoccurs.\nGod bless us all...

If it is allergens the vet has something for that. And from what I have heard its not expensive. But it could be another health issue Kitty is suffering with, he could have a respiratory infection, since cats rarely suffer from allergies (not to say they don't because they do) As for the pollen count go to your local favorite news site , in the weather section they will have the pollen count and hazard rating of the air quality for your area. Where as most people on-line won't have the accurate information for your county.

Take her to the dermatologist to get an allergy screening done. It could be anything from pet dander to cottonwood to dead bugs.

Take the Cat to the Vet., and find out if there is any Special Medication, Shampoo, or Food that could help. Also, one of those Motorized Odor Free Kitty Litter Contraptions, and finally, a Top-Notch Air Filtration System, maybe an Oreck / They're Guaranteed. Also, is there any kind of Vitamin or herbal Supplement that your Boyfriend could take that would Help Him with His Allergy? If He really cares about You, He will want You to be Happy. If You really care about Him, You'll want Him to be Healthy. You can have Both, if You're Willing to Try.

Sounds like he's built an immunity to your cat, but others still bother him.  He should see a doctor, there's medication that can help.

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

It sounds like a virus that seems to go away,but instead lays dormant for a few days. There's not much that can be done for this except plenty of bed rest and fluids. During the times that she's not feeling unwell,make sure she's still taking it easy so as not to weaken her immune system.\n\nJust saw your daughter's age-I'd get her straight to the doctor's,there is a real danger of her becoming dehydrated. Does she also have a high temperature? Keep a check on this and sponge her down from time to time with cool water. She may also have a food intolerance,such as dairy-so tell the doctor you want her checked for this. Don't ask-TELL. You know your daughter better than anybody.

Before you go and do drastic things, like meds you are right to look at his food.  Soy can be an allergen to many people.  As well so are fruits such as strawberries and oranges, citrus'.  Obviously it's an allergy or sensitivity.  Some docs only consider the word allergy for those who go into anaphalactic(spelling?) shock and run the risk of respitory failure, ie...bee sting/stop breathing.  \nNevertheless, ignore that kind of medical rhetoric because your son is obviously allergic regardless of how severe the reaction is.  There are allergy tests he can go through if you find a doctor who takes you seriously.  Have him tested, although it can be traumatic because albeit not very paintful, they prick you with a bunch of tiny little needles with different allergens on them to see how you react.  Usually on your back or inside of your forearm.  I've had it and many people I know have...it really clued them into what was bugging them! \nOr first: Try the most simple diet you can, limit him down to mashed up rice and chicken or rice and one veggie like squash if you prefer and of course rice cereal for breakfast.  Make sure it's pure brown or white rice(brown has more nutrients). Clean out his system by calming it down for a day or two.  It's called an elimination diet in nutrition terms.  People do it all the time to figure out what allergies/sensitivities they have.  \nThen pick very basic mild foods like bananas, pears, squash, peas, spinach, carrots, chicken/turkey and rice. No citrus fruits for awhile.  No honey either(not pasturized and can be risky). Introduce one food at a time to him and allow him to get used to it before introducing another food. Try one per 2 days.  Wait for a reaction or none and then move on.  That way if he has a reaction, you will know which food it is.  \nThen another and another until you know which foods he reacts to etc...When he reacts you will know he has a problem with it and you can eliminate it for good and put it in his medical records.  Some foods might take a day to move through the digestion system and therefore two days is necessary to really see if they bother him. If he reacts to just rice and chicken/veggie, then it might be one of them. Try again. It's just a process that one must go through to gain control over their allergies. Hang in there!\nFoods people are most allergic to are: wheat, dairy, soy, citrus fruits + strawberries, nuts, corn, and some meat. Also food additives like MSG and gluten and food dyes can cause serious reactions like migraines and hyperactivity.  There are many others but those are very common ones.  \nDon't negate what he is experiencing because a doctor does. Not that you are. They do not know everything, and you are the mom...and that means beyond caring well for your son you have good instincts.  Trust them!!  You are doing the right thing by continuing to pursue this beyond what the doc didn't do for you.  And by the way, psorisis and eczema both are aggravated by food allergies and stomach digestion or lack thereof. \nBut keep on it because allergies can wreck your whole system if they are not remedied. \nGood luck!

100f is a slight fever. keep an eye on it thou.  keep giving her antibiotics. I'm sure the doc gave her some. Right? Well, did he do a exam on her tonsils?? My kids just did. They had strep throat. Give her med. for pain like Motrin or Tylenol and will help with fever. Mine were at 103f and Motrin chewable pills knocked it out. The fever...Good luck.. If all else fails and the fever does not go away. Take her to the hospital right away. Don't overdose her...... Yes she may not want to eat but keep fluids in her that is very important for dehydration...she may be having, as I like to say to my 5 kids...growing pains in their legs....L

As said above but just to elaborate...\n\nAllergic reactions can be mild or they can be acute and thus life-threatening. Some people will react to peanuts with a mild allergic reaction, such as hives. Others, will have a severe reaction by going into anaphylaxis (or anaphylactic shock), which if left untreated, can lead to death.\n\nThe best thing a lay person can do for someone going into anaphlyaxis is to call 911. If the person has an epi-pen, follow the directions on it. An epi-pen can save someone's life, but the epinephrine can wear off quickly so be sure that an ambulance is on the way. Treat for shock.

Not necessarily.  Cats have specific hair and dander, the skin shedding off of them and so on.  I have become allergic to my cat after 18 years and wasn't always.  I am more allergic to some cats than others...depending upon the length of their hair.  But I don't react to other animals.  \nAlso, you could be allergic to dust mites which grossly enough, feed off the dander and skin both you and your cat shed and then when they poop(the dust mites) we enhale it and yuck...get sick!! \nRabbitts, cats, dogs, guinea pigs etc..are all different and have different oils and shedding patterns.  So being allergic to one doesn't mean you will be allergic to all.  \nSo it's just a matter of either being tested by an allergist or on different days exposing yourself to each one and seeing the reaction. (give time in between to see results)  But only if you're reactions are mild.  If you are prone to serious allergies like anaphalactic shock and respitory failure then DON"T do that!! Just goto the doc's.  \nOtherwise building your immune system, with zinc, vit. C, anti-oxidants and protein help bolster it against things like allergies and colds.  The stronger one is the less likely the symptoms will bother them. \nNettles and Quercitin are vitamins that help your body build up resistance to allergies and there are some good homeopathic remedies to take so that one doesn't have to take steroids to function.  (those have nasty side effects)\n\ngoodluck!

My child was diagnosed with this condition. Conventional medical experts pushed medications and said they would be for life.  Go the alternative road.  THere is NO harm in trying.  All of my son's symptoms disappeared when we treated food and environmental allergies.  Get and read the following 2 books used from Amazon: 1. IS THis Your Child, Doris Rapp, MD 2. Food Allergy Cure, Ellen Cutler, MD   Just do it!  You will be glad you didi!

Could be hives as a result.  She needs to get it checked out as as soon as possible. An allergy test would confirm this.
