Allergic Reactions - Oklahoma City,OK

do allergy testing now. anaphalatic is nothing to mess with find an allergy asthma doctor. everybodys body is diffrent. good luck find you an allergy doc.

Yes, hives can be a reaction that at a future time can become anaphylactic. Bee stings, antibiotics and nuts/latex sometimes (not always) run in that direction. Be sure your doctor knows about the reactions your kids have had. Breathing impairment can become deadly in a matter of minutes, so always monitor your children closely if you think they've been exposed to one of their triggers.

I've been allergic all my life to a long list of things. In case you're ever interested in checking out this option, homeopathy has done wonders for me in recent years. There are homeopathic doctors who work with children, and about 80% of people who try it get positive results.

Everyone has their own unique bodies, their own particular strengths and weaknesses, so allergies can present in quite different ways with different people, even to the same allergen.

See a doctor now, and get an EpiPen if you don't have one already. If your children have another anaphylactic reaction, you literally have MOMENTS to save their lives. YES, have them tested and be prepared. This is very serious. They will need an Epi Pen at school, daycare, and whereever else they go. Good luck.

To answer your original question about why they have different reactions: they're different kids with slightly different DNA and different immune systems.

Hopefully, your pediatrician has recommended a visit to the Allergist since it runs in both kids and has presented with anaphylaxis. Under those conditions, it really shouldn't be managed by the pediatrician until all the triggers are known and reactions to those triggers.

Good luck. Please get an allergist referral soon. And, try to get your son on a good antihistamine to help with the pollen allergies. It's anticipated this will be a record pollen count year making many of us very miserable.

If I were you I would call Childrens Hospital down on NE10th, by the OU Health Science Centers and get the number for a Pediatric Allergy Doctor and make an appointment. They are the only ones who can tell you when it is appropriate for testing. I had to be off all allergy meds for 2 weeks before having the skin tests. If there is ANY antihistimine in their system the test is useless, their body won't react to the allergin.

You will need to train each and every person your kids are with at any time, teachers, scout leaders, coaches, friends, etc...and make sure they always have epi-pens avail. Anaphalaxis is a serious matter and anyone can die from it. These people should always be prepared to recognize the signs.

my son broke out at 18mth with celery and at 4 yrs with singular. you should get them tested but make a list of things you think they are allergic too so the r will have the correct stuff. they teseted my son at 2 1/2 and saif they would do it again at 5 but since he had a reaction to singular i asked them to do it at 4 1/2 he was sick all the time and now we do shots i found out he is allergis to abot 22 different things. we do shots every monday and it has been great

You need to have them tested for allergies now. They have both had strong reactions that indicate allergies. Anaphalactic shock if not treated in time causes death. I've started into anaphalactic shock twice. Once as a child to several bee stings and once as an adult while undergoing a medical test using iodine.

I had to have an antibiotic intravenously while in the clinic. My throat and eys started to feel mildly itchy and I developed one hive, all of which is a mild reaction. They changed me to a different antibiotic.

My granddaughter is allergic to several things, including "spring." She has an epi-pen at home, school, and with me. Allergies have to be taken seriously.

Each person reacts differently to allergies. I react differently to different allergens. Yes, hives can be a precursor of anaphylactic shock. You need to know to what your children are allergic, what signs or symptoms to be on the look out for and how to treat them. Take your children to a pediatric allergist. He will conduct tests, explain causes and treatments, give you medications. Allergies are complex and can be life threatening.

My granddaughter also has asthma. She takes a prescription strength antihistamine daily as well as a controller inhaler. She keeps a rescue inhaler and an epi-pen with her. This sounds difficult to manage but it does get easier and becomes routine.

You need to make an appointment with a pediatric allergist now and have allergy testing. It sounds like your daughter has already had serious reactions. Any time breathing is impaired it's important to have an immediate way to treat that. You need to know which antibiotic caused your son's reaction and be sure that he never takes that antibiotic again. Reactions tend to increase with use.

Allergy to spring (I like that expression.) is common and not something that advances to a life threatening situation. I've had to use antihistamines all of my adult life so that I'm more comfortable. Allergies to foods and medicines can be life threatening.

My little girl had bad eczema. I decided to get her tested for allergies are took a natural route with this I took her to my chiropractor who is also licensed in homeopathic s. They did allergy testing that was very easy, and not painful for either of us. She got on these homeopathic allergy drops and the eczema was completely cleared in two days. I totally believe in this my daughter is 2 she has no preconceived notion of whether a homeopathic medicine will work or not. These drops create a balance in her body over time so she is immune and can get off the drops and still have the thing she was previously allergic to with no adverse reaction. Yeah!

sometimes allergies to foods and substances can occur because of heavy metals, or toxic body overload from fungus or bacteria/viruses.
Gut permeability is another issue with food allergies.

The throw up and severe impairment in her breathing could be asma(spelling) not an allergic reaction by itself. When my daughter has one that is what she does. As far as hives goes yes they are antiflatic. Anytime your body reacts to something it could be life or death no matter how little the reaction.

If you could now. Most insurance will cover this under propentfit care.(spelling not my strongest subject in school)But good luck and enjoy your children. I have a daughter that I worry about because of this kind of stuff too and a son who is legally-blind and life goes on. We enjoy life together. That is what is important. You do what you can and you leave the rest for God to do.

Good Luck and Prayers,

Allergy testing is pretty scary for lil ones. They basically take common allergens and grind them into the skin on your childs back and see what happens. I want my son to go to one too but want to wait a lil bit longer. He is allergic to mold, dust, pollen, soy AND dairy so it has been pretty challenging these last few months. Just learning what ingredients to look for on food labels so I can be better informed about what is going into his body. Allergic reactions are different for everyone due to body chemistry. Everyone's body is different so they react differently to different things. Good luck!
