Can an inhaler help me treat my allergies?
I think it is important to see an Asthma & Allergy specialist. If you have allergies, there is a possibility that you have developed allergic asthma. With allergic asthma you can have symptoms of shortness of breath, wheezing, chest tightness or cough when your allergy triggers are high. There are tests that will help determine if that is the cause of your symptoms (office spirometer and FENO). If these tests are completely normal, there could be others causes of your symptoms that should be further evaluated. An inhaler may help if you have an allergic asthma, but will not help if the symptoms are not coming from a problem with bronchial tubes/lungs. Dr. Patricia Gomez Dinger, D.O. READ MORE
What is the safe dose of cetrizine for kids around 5 years of age?
The maximum dose of cetirizine is 5mg daily. It can be dosed once daily or split as 2.5mg twice daily. I highly recommend seeing an allergist to get allergy tested so you can identify what the allergic triggers are and treat preventative Ly as well as incorporate environmental controls.
