My son has been suffering really badly from hayfever to the extent that the school has wanted to send him home.
We give him piraton as soon as he gets up, but it wears off by the afternoon. I pick him up from after school club by which time he looks awful.
Do you think it would be fair to ask the school to give him a top up of piraton rather than sending him home? Has anyone's school done this? Would I need a GP's letter?
Our school will give prescribed medicines, We have fo sign a permission slip every day that it is needed,and it can only be given by the first aider on that day.
and every sympathy by the way, my DD suffers too at this time of year and sometimes can hardly see when she comes out of school if they have had games on the field.
Well on the whiteboard is ds2's classroom is the list of boys who need piriton as an reminder to the teacher. Different schools have different rules I guess.
My son is six years old and he has 5ml of piraton in the morning. This is the maximum amount you can give in one dose. Part of the reason my son has piraton is that it also helps is ezcema.
I suffered from hay fever really badly and to be honest my parents just told me to put up with it.
There is just SO much around now. Not surprisingly my son now suffers and pitron makes a number of people sleepy so my GP recommended Clarityn. As the other posters say just take once a day. However if this doesnt work please perserve.
My husband was 40 plus before I forced him to a specialist for some tests. All summer he would sneeze and often had to hide inside because the pollen was so bad. One year our holiday in Italy was ruined because he started wheezing and his idea of making it go away was to spend the whole holiday in the hotel room (not great when you have a 6 month baby with you!). It cost £150 to see a consultant in hay fever and bingo. He was told to use Nasonex nasal spray (prescription only) and he hasnt looked back. e just uses it in the summer months as does my son. You have to use it every day to get the full effect. What is it about men who think they just have to put up with it.
My DS and I both have severe hayfever. He has been sent home from school on many occasssions unfrotunatly. His eyes are so badly affected that the white turns to looking like red jelly, clear but red, quite scary.
School did supervise him administering himself, after he/me/we were caught administering himself without informing the school, because they wouldnt do it.
He has tried everything and we have seen a specialist. I am not confident he will grow out of it as I havent. He used to wear sunglasses all day, it stops some pollen reaching the eyes. He also washes his face fully at every break to wash away the pollen and wears a hat to avoid it (the pollen) getting stuck in his hair, difficult with an active outside all the time boy. We used to manage the tiredness by having a power nap when he got home from school after a shower. For us Piriton does work best.
Final solution we moved to Dubai and neither of us have had it since!! In fact had forgotten all about it until reading this thread.
