My son was diagnosed with Asthma 18 months ago. Since then, we have had him on daily medications to manage it. We see a pulmonologist every quarter. He has had a runny nose and been sick numerous times in the last six months. Last time we went to see the pulmonologist I asked about his runny nose and the doctor mentioned three different medications that we have already tried. Then he said that there was nothing else we could do. He has congestion 24/7 for the last 6 months in his nose!! Right now he is on seven different medications and the poor thing is only 3!! Luckily, there have been no adverse effects of the steriods. Anyway, I'm looking for some other answers. I would like to try some homeopathic remedies or a different diet. We have had him tested for food allergies, and he apparently doesn't have any. Any advice would help. If you know any doctors or a homeopathic specialist in the Irving/Las Colinas/Euless area that you think might help me let me know. Thank you Mamasource Mama's!!
My sister tried Yogi tea(can get it at health food store. She loves the tea and swears by it. Worth a try.
I recommend going to a chiropractor. My husband has a chiropractic practice and sees a lot of children for those same reasons. His number is ###-###-####, www.trinityfamilychiropractic.com
You might want to see Alex Bekker. He is a homeopath, but also an MD. He's down by Mockingbird and Abrams, but he is the only homeopath in the area that I would use and I've seen many. I don't have his number anymore, but you can google him or do a search on this board because other moms here use him. Our family actually consults with a guy in Tucson who is a student of Dr. Luc. We do it by phone and have been so pleased.
Hi R.! Have you thought of changing your types of products that you use? ex: cleaners, personal products, etc. It is a know fact (news reports and findings) that the toxins/chemicals in your home are contributing to so many things: asthma, excema, allergies, add/adhd and even autism. So getting these chemicals/toxins out of your home can help! I use products that are the best of science and nature, so there are no toxins/chemicals or fumes...therefore they are better and safer for you! You can pm me and we can swap numbers and we can talk and answer your questions, etc.
I look forward to speaking with you!
Good luck!!
I know it may sound silly, but you might look at accupuncture, accupressure and just see if he gets any relief. I have several friends that have done this and have had great results. One of our friends, their son was severely allergic to the cat. Before getting rid of the cat, they decided on a whim to try accupuncture and low and behold, the kid is not allergic to the cat at all now...or if he is, it is very mild. I wouldn't really recommend that as a first step to anyone really, but it seems you have tried the conventional. Good luck!
