My 6 month old daughter has itchy spells and when they start her nose, ears and eyes just get red. she doesn't have a rash but you can see it's irritating by the way she rubs her ears and eyes. is it safe to use allergy medication on her?

Specializes in Pediatric Allergy and Asthma

Food allergy?: The symptoms indicate an allergic reaction. Please see your pediatrician. Provide a dose of children's Benadryl after speaking with your PCP. A common cause at this age includes a food allergy. Please arrange CAP testing to include a food panel test for foods commonly associated with allergic reactions. Determine whether there is a trigger causing this reaction.
