8 year old DS1 has a number of allergies (severe allergy to pollen, both grass and trees, plus other as yet undefined triggers - basically year round "hayfever"))
He is on daily adult dose anti-histamines, plus Piriton for attacks. He is also on seretide (max dose for age and size,) Singulair, Avamys nasal spray and 4 puffs of ventolin a day.
He is STILL coughing.
He's never had an actual "attack," although he has been ambulanced to hospital with allergic reactions, but his sleep is disturbed, he's struggling with physical activity and he is constantly knackered.
The doctor moved him on to the seretide 2.5 weeks ago, and there's been a slight improvement, but not much.
He's been referred for allergy testing but there is a 6 month waiting list. I'm considering an exclusion diet. We have no pets, hard floors and a good hoover (I'm also asthmatic, but well controlled at long last having ditched wheat and sugar from my diet!)
Has anyone BTDT with this level of asthma? It is not severe, because he's not having actual attacks, but it is really affecting his/ our quality of life. Any suggestions WRT meds/ diet ideas would be very welcome.
