Not an allergy: Consult an ENT surgeon to find out if there is anything wrong with your hearing or ears and follow his/her advice. Until you have been examined, you may use ear protectants.

Can forced air heaters trigger allergies?

Yes: Many people who have allergies are allergic to house dust. Running the forced hot air can circulate this in the house. Using a good filter in the heating system and using an air purifier in the child's room might help reduce some of the exposure.

What are so-called cross allergies?

Dr. Jeffrey Rumbyrtanswered

Cross reactive?: I think what you are asking is what are so-called cross-reactive allergies. Plants in similar families can show cross reactivtiy. This is true of trees such as cottonwood, aspen, and poplar. Many of the so-called "northern pasture grasses" (grasses found in north america) also show cross reactivity - that is, if you are allergic to one species, you are probably allergic to other related species.

Reaction to HIV meds: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/management_of_hiv/aids#adverse_effects
"allergy" is probably not the best word to use when describing reactions to medications. There are lots of side effects that are typical and common with medications for hiv. They are catalogued in the article above. Sometimes true allergies to these meds do occur. Best to google the individual medication to learn about its issues.
