A few days ago my youngest son starting having allergy like symptoms. Itching throat, sneezing and clear runny nose. No fever. He's doing better but now my eldest is having the same symptoms and so am I and my husband. I'm curious if any one else is having this issue. Wondering if this could be something viral.

What can I do next?

Welcome to the club! Everyone I know is dealing with them right now. We turn first to holistic remedies in our family and believe that Vitamin C works wonders. Also, I have 2 facial saunas and I have the kids (ages 7 and 3.5 yrs) use them every night for 10-15 minutes - sort of like a turbo-charged humidifier. It cuts down on the night time coughing and congestion.

When there's lots of sinus stuffiness, we use saline nose sprays and a neti pot. My 3 yr old won't use it yet, but my 7 year old can.

Good luck!

Yes it is a cold. My 2 year old had it last week and my husband has it this week. No fun, but it just has to run its course. :(

Our allergies stepped up a few weeks ago. when weather changes back and forth from cold to warm, heat in the house, etc.... it only makes things worse. Keep an eye because allergies an turn into sinus. My pediatricians rule of thumb was come in if it goes longer than 10 days.
Alfalfa is a good natural antihistamine.

Sounds like allergies. We all have allergies that act up around the same time. Our house is on a heavily wooded lot full of cedar elms which are horrid to our allergies.

We also have dogs and sometimes it seems like the older Cocker bothers us more than usual.

Right now, all 3 of us are going through an allergy phase...taking benedryl at night and using a nasal rinse.

We've found the Nasal Rinse to be most helpful. It is just a saltwater rinse of sinuses and it works wonders. I never would have thought it would work like it does.

Good luck.
