Seasonal Allergy Moms
When do you start the allergy meds? DS is on prescription allergy meds bc he's highly allergic to tree pollen. I usually start right when I see him getting uncomfortable, but wondering if I should start now since the weather has been mild. His allergies were even bad the end of Fall when we had a few mild days and the trees were just starting to bloom.

I started yesterday. She told me she was sneezing a lot at recess the day before.
Our doctor makes us continue the meds until Halloween.

Re: Seasonal Allergy Moms
I know myself I was feeling it yesterday and today- took a pill this morning.
I heard on the news that tree pollen is high I believe.
It was one of them

We started yesterday as well. She was so congested and runny last night after going to the park.

Re: Seasonal Allergy Moms
Thanks! Gave it to him this morning since his eyes were red and swollen when he woke up.

DD was complaining of a headache and was sniffling so I'm sure it's bc of allergies. I'll start giving her medication tomorrow.

Re: Seasonal Allergy Moms
Depends on what the medicine is. If it's a nasal spray like Nasonex, it takes around 3 weeks of daily use to be effective so we start that a month before his typical allergy season. For other meds that work right away, I give those as needed. My DS is 6.

DD's allergist said she wants her to start the meds in March. We have an appointment next week.

Re: Seasonal Allergy Moms
I started to give him all (3) allergy meds on Wednesday. He was already on a daily dose of Benadryl. He is now on his prescription meds and a dose of claritin. I don't want him to end up in the ER again with difficulty breathing like last April...
