how do you know for definite if a child has hayfever do you have to go to Drs or just use stuff from chemist?

Tiddler every year has a constant runny nose and sneezing and has started again this week and dont want her having to put up with it all summer again.

If you're not sure then take her to the doctors, especially where a child is concerned. It sounds like hayfever though, so a word with your chemist will find something suitable for her.

I think it is the start of grass pollen now.It sounds like Hayfever.Ask at your chemist they will advise.My daughter suffered terribly when she was little.Timothy Grass was the main problem with her .

My son used to get wheezy and unwell everytime we went away in the caravan in most parts of the country.

We were regulars in A@E wherever we went.
It never happened at home and we live near fields.

The GP finally prescribed an inhaler which we take on hols and is in PE kit in case he needs it which is not often.

Try and get an appointment with Asthma nurse at Drs surgery who may be able to help

Teresa

Blame hubbys family she is just like them in looks and FiL used to suffer badly and hubby does a little but not to this extent

thanks folks

Hi Dawnie
I have one child that suffers with allergies.
She has been a different kid in the last year with flixonase.
You can buy it over the counter,she has a spray in each nostril at night when allergy season kicks in,and it works a dream

Dawnie
I hope you get something to ease her discomfort. It must be miserable for her..

I don't know about Flixonase spray, but the drops are not for use by children or young people under 16 years old ( reading from leaflet from prescribed capsules)

have got some piriteze syrup for her and she even asked for some downtown couldnt wait til we got home and she took it without a drink which is unusual for her so she must be feeling bad.

Gwyn she keeps saying her nose hurts and her eyes are red today and thats with the rain so hate to think what it will be likein a few weeks. maybe i should put a toilet roll on a string round her neck as shes using so much lol will still take her to drs this week but hopefully syrup will help while they are shut.
