S.,
Try removing dairy products such as milk from the toddler's diet. Along with anything made with peanuts. Also peas and wheat.
I had allergies and asthma all my child and part of my adult life. I no longer require inhalers or drugs because I changed my lifestyle. Changing my diet tremedously helped me.
Good Luck!

We use a chiropractor in Edgerton, Wisconsin(about an hour or so away from Elgin) that can help your child. Our son had terrible ear infections, and the ear doctors couldn't fix the problem, and a friend recommended me to Dr. Jay Fox, and I was skeptical, but he is not only a chiropractor, but he uses homeopathic remedies to help his patients. My son hasn't had ear problems since we got Dr. Jay Fox in involved. The reason I say he can help you is he mentions that he can help kids and adults with asthma all the time, and he does it without medications. Your insurance may not cover it, but it is worth the cost. We pay $40 each time the kids go to Dr. Fox, but that is nothing compared to having a healthy child. The place is called Fox Chiropractic. If you want the number or more information, let me know.

From what I've heard is that homeopathy is just a diluted version of the allopathic drugs.
The best way to help your child is developing his immunity-vitamins, making sure his environment (stuffed animals,blankets,etc) are clean and don't accumulate too much dust,etc. Even regular mild exercise, like a walk to the park,etc. can sometimes help develop their systems. Kids usually outgrow the childhood asthma. My baby had the severe form when he was in the daycare. When he was 11 months old, I started sending him to a babysitter, and he has only had an episode once in the past year.Could be just virus induced at the daycares...

I used Shaklee products to help me with the situation. Allergies is a sign of a weak immune system. The cleaners are amazing. The comany has a 50 yr history of purity, and perfomance. With a 100% mnoney back guarantee. The doctor never made any promises and this company did. I felt I had nothing to lose. It was the best decision I could have ever made for my son's life. I have a long success story would love to share it, only if you want to hear it.

I saw a medical program on TV that was about deep breathing exercises that lessoned or eliminated the need for inhalers. Might be worth checking out.

I know a wonderful chriopracter that deals with all kinds of children and adult allergies, including asthma. I'm pretty sure her website is touchoflifechiropractic. Her name is Dr. Helen Lee. She is located in Schaumburg and uses supplements, herbs, natural healing, massage, trigger point, and a bunch more. She knows all kinds of treatments and most insurances cover it. Good Luck.
Oh, you could tell her R. Catania recommended you, she knows who I am.
