I wonder if anyone can offer me any advice please. My 4 year old DS suffers really badly with hayfever. He takes Citirizine daily at this time of year and needs to take ventolin,eye drops etc when he is really suffering. He is due to start school in September and my husband and I attended an open day last week. I am just so worried how he is going to cope. They had all the doors and windows open which back out onto lots of long grassy fields. At this time of year we keep all the doors and windows closed at home and have aircon running to minimise suffering. He isn't able to run around on the grass outside because even though he takes all his meds he still struggles.
I mentioned it to the school and they seemed very dismissive and said well he should be able to use an inhaler by himself. Do most 4 year olds do this? I know we don't need to address this until next may as should be back to normal when he starts in september but it is playing on my mind already. Does anyone have a child with a severe hayfever? Has anyone had a child take Grazax and if so please how successful they were.
Many thanks
