Question 1

what is the definition or description of: idamycin pfs allergy?

Accepted Answer

See below: Allergy is aberrant immune response to any entity.

Question 2

my husband and i accidentally gave our 4 yr old son, who weighs 42lbs, a double dose of childrens benadryl (diphenhydramine) for his allergies (chewable tablets 12.5mg)?

Accepted Answer

??no numbers??: The only way for me to comment on the dose is if you list what you gave. Two 12.5 mg tabs in a 42 lb kid might make him groggy but shouldn't hurt in the long run.Four tabs would put him to sleep and he'd be out for a few hours. Luckily the med clears the body in 4-8 hours.

Question 3

i am having anxiety over food allergies. i am 23 and have 3 children with no food allergies. i am having anxiety over peanuts. is it possible or is it just anxiety? ive never had a problem with peanut butter. my kids eat it a lot?

Accepted Answer

Health Anxiety: Peanut allergies do not typically spontaneously arise in adults or older children, especially if the persons concerned have been eating it regularly without any issues. For Anxiety, try Journaling, Deep breathing exercises, and meditation/prayer to relax the anxious thoughts and soothe yourself.

Question 4

should i keep a cat even if it causing allergy problems with my children ages 2 thru 7?

Accepted Answer

Depends: Several factors here.  I usually never recommend it if the family is attached to the pet, but if it is causing severe symptoms, you should sequester the animal out of the bedrooms and living spaces.  Then make sure you thoroughly rid those areas of cat dander as it is a potent and tenacious allergen.

Question 5

does a cough come with allergies in children?

Accepted Answer

Sometimes: But not all the time. Nasal allergies are not a frequent cause of a really bad persistent cough. In a child with allergies and a really bad cough (assuming no fever) I would be concerned about a reactive airway/asthma type condition. If the child also had eczema I would be even more concerned.

Question 6

can a parents' allergies to various foods be passed on to their children?

Accepted Answer

No: The condition of being allergic is certainly an inherited property.  Often, that tendancy is greater in children whose biological mother has allergies.  However, specific allergy is generally not thought to be inherited.  That is, a parent can be allergic to food, and their children allergic to pollen or insect stings.

Question 7

please describe a good source of calcium for children that have a milk allergy ?

Accepted Answer

Lots of Stiuff: Fortified soy milk for beginners.  Dark leafy greens like spinach, kale, turnips, and collard greens. Fortified orange juice. Sardines. Enriched breads, grains, and waffles.

Question 8

is it ok to give my 8yr old ibuprofin while he took a dose of cvs children allergy medicine an hour ago?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Just please give the medication according exactly to the dosing and weight guidelines on the package. The allergy medicine is an antihistamine. Ibuprofen is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory and anti-pyretic (fever reducer) medication.

Question 9

at what age can young children receive treatments for a cat allergy? i am pregnant, have one cat and my husband is allergic, so i want to know what options are available if the baby is allergic.

Accepted Answer

Avoidance: Since there is a genetic risk, avoidance of exposure may be helpful. If your children have eczema, discuss an allergy referral with your pediatrician. Immunotherapy may be indicated depending on symptoms.

Question 10

can children grow out of seasonal allergies?

Accepted Answer

Sometimes: Some people's allergies get better over years, some get worse, and some are stable. Keeping allergies well-controlled not only keeps kids feeling better and sleeping better, but also doing better in school (it's hard to learn material when you feel miserable)! also, keeping allergies under control decreases the risk of ear infections and sinusitis.
