Sounds like allergies? (m)

Is it possible she's developing an allergy to dust mites? Something else in her environment? Dust mites comes to mind b/c we're all allergic to them in our household, with much the same symptoms you describe. If it's that, you can get a cover for her mattress. Does she have a pillow? They can be real dust mite traps.

But definitely call your ped if it will relieve your anxiety. It's so hard during this nasty flu season!

does sound like allergies....

especially if you live somewhere the leaves are falling and starting to decay. We have to give DD Zyrtec at night sometimes because her post nasal drip is so bad she coughs. I would not worry so long as there is not significant fever. You can use a humidifier with a vicks insert and rub some baby lavender vicks on her chest, or try a vicks plug in.

Thanks and can I give her anything ?

November 6 2009, 8:46 PM 

Do you think I could give her anything ?
We are moving so I have been stirring up dust.
We also have dogs which never bothered her before.
So I am unsure as to why now and we do live in new england.

Ask your ped...

November 7 2009, 8:22 AM 

I don't know about a 12 month old so ask your ped what she can take. Zyrtec is approved for 2 and older but maybe Benadryl can be used for younger. This is really her first fall since she was so tiny before, and if you were nursing her immune system was stronger. Also, from my readings at about 1 year of age the immune system actually kind of re-boots itself and kids become susceptible to things they never were before. My Dd was NEVER sick until she turned a little over a year...and then we got hit with EVERYTHING!

hope she feels better soon

sounds like her body is fighting off something, allergies or virus. but not H1N1 happy.gif, if anything it's a cold.

you can also apply a cool damp cloth to bathe her eyes. or warm if she finds the cool uncomfortable.

don't you hate it when these things crop up in time for the weekend where her regular Dr would be off?? It's such a pain to bring them in to the hospital just to wait 5hrs to be told it'll pass :P I'd only go in if her symptoms got worse, like a high fever.

my father always said that sleep was the best medicine. happy.gif

keep us posted

happy.gif
me:40, DH 41
FSH 26
DS: born by c-sec Apr15'03 (after 4 years of ttc, starting in 1998)
DD born by c-sec Oct 13 2007 happy.gif (after just under 3 years of ttc)
DS was conceived naturally the cycle following a cancelled DE IVF, using my good friend's eggs. She was on the verge of hyperstimming.
DD's nat conception I attribute to using OPKs like a crazy nut, eating grapefruit daily and using preseed. also 5 cycles of TCM ending 2 cycles before that lucky cycle.
