Advice on Allergies and Asthma in 4 Year Old

My daughter will be 4 in July and we have had two trips to the ER since January due to coughing fits and once by ambulance because she stopped breathing (found out she had pneumonia). I saw an allergist who said she definitly has Asthma. He prescribed Zyrtec, Nasonex, and Advair. I don't believe my daughter needs all of these medications and I'm seeking a second opinion this week. I gave my daughter the Zyrtec and this morning she had a coughing fit, followed by vomiting. I won't give her the Advair until I see a Pulm. Specialist. I...

The doctor recommended zyrtec during the day and benadryl at nite or cough syrup w/codene if it is really bad. She has been on the allergy meds for...

Son Is Allergic to Peanuts, Eggs, Soy and Wheat.

About three weeks ago, we found out that our 2 year old is allergic to peanuts, soy, wheat and eggs. We have found that anything in the same family as peanuts and soy make him sick (beans, green beans, peas). It has been a very difficult transition. We cleaned out the cubbards and have been diligently reading labels. But it is so very difficult to find a variety of foods to make that won't make him sick. As a family, we have eliminated most of our favorite foods. We now make everything from scratch, but are still have limited options. We've...
