Avoidance: Avoidance is key. If your child is already having symptoms of cough and nasal congestion, you can give an antihistamine: benadryl, (diphenhydramine) Cetirizine or loratidine at the right dose (check w/ doctor). If your child is having shortness of breath and wheezing, you will need a breathing treatment which can be prescribed by your doctor. If you need to confirm allergy see an allergist for testing.
