  • My daughter suddenly developed a rash after eating a new chocolate. What should I do?

    Start by avoiding all chocolate. Bring the list of ingredients in the chocolate that she ate to an allergist who can assist in evaluating whether this is a true allergy to chocolate or an additive. READ MORE

  • Is antibiotic required to treat seasonal cough and cold?

    It is important to know the cause of the cough. Sometimes this is asthma aggravated by a viral illness. If it is asthma, the asthma therapy may stop the cough. If it is a viral infection, no antibiotic is needed. If it is a bacterial infection, then antibiotic is needed. If this is a frequent problem, then an allergy consult may be needed. READ MORE

  • How effective are air purifiers to prevent allergies for kids?

    A HEPA filter can be helpful for removing small particles, such as animal dander or mold spores. It must be purchased to cover the size of the room and must be running 24 hours per day with the door closed. The filter can only be effective in a closed space and if the door is left open it will try to filter the entire house and fail. READ MORE

  • Do allergies change?

    Allergies can change over time. With lack of exposure, there is a decrease in allergic antibodies. Some changes occur with aging. How they change over time depends on the allergy. Some drug or insect sting allergies decrease over time with lack of exposure. READ MORE

  • Are antihistamines safe for consumption during pregnancy?

    Different antihistamines have different safety ratings for pregnancy. Allegra is not to be used. Zyrtec and Claritin have been given a Category B for use in pregnancy. Zyrtec has been used safely. You should always ask your Obstetrician what he is comfortable with you using. The first trimester (12 weeks) is most important for avoiding drugs if possible. READ MORE

  • I am lactose intolerant, does it mean my child will also have this condition?

    Lactose intolerance can be inherited. Speak to the pediatrician you are planning to use about your concerns, and let him see if there is a genetic test available for this. The gene involved is MCM6 on chromosome 2 (2q21). While testing may be available, it may be expensive. READ MORE

  • I found that I'm allergic to cats. Is it a lifelong allergy?

    Cat allergy can be a lifetime problem. Testing will confirm the allergy. Cat allergy can be treated with medications before or after exposure. You should have them with you at all times. This should include an albuterol inhaler and antihistamine. You need instructions and a prescription for the inhaler. I suggest you see an Allergist. READ MORE

  • How harmful is poison oak when contacted?

    Most people who are allergic to poison oak, ivy, or sumac can be quickly treated with topical steroid creams or oral steroids, if more severe. These are all plants which have a similar chemical on their surface. Not everyone is sensitive to these plants and some are never bothered. Fatalities would be extremely rare, unless untreated.

  • How can I improve immunity levels in my 3 year old?

    Evaluation of frequent infections could include blood test looking at the immune system as well as allergies. These tests could provide useful information. It is also important that all immunizations are up to date including influenza. Some children will get frequent infections when they first start school because of the number of children who are sent to school sick, spreading the illness. READ MORE

  • Is an allergy to apples possible?

    Allergy to a food may begin at any time. Some people are allergic to one species of apple and some to all. If the reaction was only on her tongue, it may represent the oral allergy syndrome. She should have allergy testing for apple and if you know the specific apple, bring it with her to the Allergist. There are serious food allergies and milder ones. She should see an Allergist. READ MORE

  • What could be the best medicine for allergic rhinitis?

    You can use an over-the-counter antihistamine such as claritin, zyrtec, or allegra. You could also use an intranasal steroid spray such as Flonase or others. The more permanent cure usually requires immunotherapy by injections or sometimes with an FDA approved oral therapy. READ MORE
