Question 1

whats phosphate allergy?

Accepted Answer

Doubtful: Some non-medical practitioners say that allergy can occur to virtually any substance in the environment.  Allergists define allergy as an over-reaction of the immune system to very small amounts of foreign substances that enter the body. While large amounts of phosphate taken as a supplement could cause GI upset & diarrhea, in my opinion there is no such thing as true phosphate allergy.

Question 4

my 15 month old has had croup twice in a month is this a sign of asthma or allergies?

Accepted Answer

Not necessarily.: If your toddler's history is not consistent with croup, other diagnoses for stridor should be considered: stridor lasting for short durations (hours); stidor lasting longer than infectious period; stridor not associated with acute infection; severe episodes requiring emergency room visits or hospitalizations; progressively more severe or frequent episodes of croup; choking or gagging before onset.

Question 5

my 11 month old was just stung by a hornet. there are no signs of allergy but he's really fussy now. ?

Accepted Answer

Not surprising: What you want to watch for is development of rash, swelling other than a little at the site of the sting, especially around the mouth; or breathing difficulties.  The best treatment for now is to apply ice, it will minimize the spread and reaction of the venom.  Keep an eye out for any swelling or redness that develops in a couple days--that usually indicates an infection.  Hornets eat garbage.

Question 6

Infection or allergy: Dark yellow or green mucus draining from nose could be due to an infection ( viruses and bacteria can cause this). Allergies can also cause this.

do i have a lettuce allergy? what are signs?

Accepted Answer

Possible: Yes, it is possible to have allergy to lettuce, but it is one of the more rare food allergies.  Typical symptoms would be mouth itching or soreness, nausea, vomiting, abdominal cramps, diarrhea, hives, itching or rarely in more severe cases trouble breathing, drop in blood pressure (shock), or death.  You only need one or two of these symptoms to suspect an allergy.

Question 10

what are the initial signs of a milk allergy?

Accepted Answer

Skin and GI: Milk allergy usually begins in infancy. Most children have rashes (eczema or hives) and GI symptoms (pain and diarrhea). Less common are nasal and chest symptoms.  Chronic constipation in infants and children is rarely due to true milk allergy.  In young children the initial manifestation of milk allergy can be anaphylaxis, a severe systemic reaction.
