Natural Alternatives to Zyrtec?

So, if you have read my other posts, you know about my 6 year old daughters allergies. Her allergist wants her to be taking zyrtec every day from now on. She breaks out in hives every single day. So far she has tested negative (skin tests) for peanuts, and eggs. She skin tested positive for dogs, grass, hazelnuts, and pecans. Also has shown a severe reaction to ibuprofen. She also slightly is hypothyroid (runs in the family) and has some type of auto immune. The dr isn't sure what type of auto immune but they are thinking it's hashimoto's...

Peanut and Egg Allergy

Hi moms, I wrote a little bit ago for help with cutting dairy out of my diet (as a potential cause of my daughter's allergies) so I could continue to nurse my 10 month old twins. All the advice was soooo helpful. In the end cutting out dairy did nothing, in fact she got worse, and when I went back on it there were no changes. I have been feeling like my daughter's doc isn't taking this issue seriously, and when I wanted to test her for allergies he wanted to try more stuff and check in a couple weeks. I can't wait weeks when each day the...

Could I Be Allergic to My Dog?

Please help me ladies! I have battled hives on and off. Last spring was the first episode and I think it was caused by stress. I took Zyrtec and although it basically knocked my out (I was so sleepy and groggy for 24 hours), it took care of the hives. On occasion since then, I have taken it when the itching is unbearable, but the sleepiness really is an inconvenient side effect. Lately, I have had hives on a daily basis (I use dye free soaps and detergents). My legs look horrible due to the itching/scratching. I have started to...

Zyrtec and Behavior

I have a 6 year old daughter who has allergies which seem to crop up this summer. I've given her Zyrtec for the last few weeks and am noticing some horrible behavior changes in her. I am wondering if anyone else has had this experience and if they could be related. She has always been an independent child, but this is a whole new level of bad behavior. I just started to wonder if it could be the Zyrtec. This is her first time on Allergy Meds.

Allergy to Ibuprofen

Last week I had to give my daughter who is 6 some ibuprofen. I do not give any meds to my kids unless it's needed. I have given this to her maybe 4 times in her whole 6 years. The next morning she woke up with swollen lips and cheeks. I took her to the dr. and they said they aren't sure if it's an allergy to ibuprofen or a filler that's in it and so now we have an appointment with an allergist next week to find out what it is exactally. She has never had any kind of allergies, but my son does have severe allergies to medications and even...
