Allergic rhinitis?

[biancaBien]

^ We don't really diagnose Allergic rhinitis at that age since getting colds is quite common in young infants due to their immature nasal anatomy.
Re: cough pag nagwawater, hindi ba siya nasasamid kaya siya nagcocough?
Do you have a strong family history of allergic rhinitis, asthma or atopic dermatitis? Are you breastfeeding?
Hindi ba masyadong malamig ang aircon temp niyo at night?

hindi naman masyado malamig a/c namin actually low temp lang eh..pagnagwawater at nagmimilk siya dun siya umuubo i don't know why nga eh very consistent as in everytime kaya nga nabibitin si baby sa pag dede kawawa naman...my brother has asthma and sa father side may asthma mga sisters niya,sa husband ko naman mahina ang mga lungs..actually my eldest nag ka primary complex when she was 1yr old..ano kaya [textspeak!] pag ubo niya sa tingin mo?kasi parang hirap umubo wala naman phlegm..thanks

^ My suggestions:
1. Check/Review your feeding technique. Make sure that her head is elevated when you are feeding her to avoid aspiration. Never ever feed while she is lying down.
2. Check the flow of the nipple that you are using to feed her. Dapat low flow lang.
3. Since there is history of asthma on both sides, I strongly suggest you start breastfeeding to help protect against the development of allergies. Your baby is only 3 weeks old so it is not too late to start.

hi!we had her checked kanina kay dr.luis rivera of asian hospital..he checked nga yung flow ng nipple ni baby masyado daw mabilis so pinapapalitan niya,and ang cause daw ng coughing habang nagmimilk siya is because of the sipon nga..clear naman daw ang lungs..at yun nga nasasamid siya everytime na nag mimilk...nag re-relactate na ko kasi madami pa naman lumalabas..thanks sis for the time

^ That's good, sis. I suggest you also visit the breastfeeding thread for tips.  Studies show kasi that breastfeeding helps to delay/prevent the onset of allergies.

Hi mga sis buti may thread na ganito. My son has been diagnosed with Asthma. He got it from his Lolo sa side ni hubby, sya naman has allergic rhinitis.

Nung baby pa lang sya napansin na ng mother ko na pag may ubo sya hinihingal sya at di makahinga ng maayos pag ntutulog kaya pag may ubo, expect mo na yan na magpapahele sya magdamag. We noticed na gagaling ang ubo nya tapos uubuhin ulit after weeks,matagl na ang 3 weeks.

He is 4yo now and ganun pa din, ubuhin at hinihingal sya pagtulog. Nagulat ako na sinabi ng pedia (last week) na may asthma sya. Ganun din kanina nagcheck kami sa ibang pedia and same impression sa kanya.

Mabilis mag trigger ang cough reflex nya, konting chocolate lang, matatamis, alikabok, kahit magplay e hihingalin at uubuhin na sya.. Di pa naman malala yung case nya. kaya pa daw agapan. I hope na this time e umeffect na ang gmot nya and follow up next week. Nagwowory tuloy ako. sana maging ok na son ko..

hi mga sis!!! share ko lang din experience ko yung 2nd daughter ko may allergic rhinitis din and minsan pag may ubo sya hinihingal sya ang meds nya pag sneezing loraped 2.5ml 2x a day...pag sa ubo naman ventolin syrup (anti asthma) 5ml 3x a day for 5-7days awa naman ng Diyos gumagaling agad...

[katkat]

dami ko natutunan sa thread na to... problema ko lang, parang naguguluhan ako hehe.  sabi kasi nung 1st pulmo ng kid ko, allergy cough daw dahil sa cold weather (kasi inuubo sa gabi). yung 2nd pulmo naman asthma daw (kasi gumaling siya sa ventolin syrup).

pero maraming symptoms mentioned here na meron toddler ko (na hindi ko na-mention sa doctors!!!) like... several sneezing most likely pag morning. saka madalas niya kamutin nose niya. tapos me konting runny nose. di ko pinapansin kasi nawawala naman within the day. saka di siya everyday ganun.  waaahh...

so either i see a pulmo or allergologist naman next time...

[lilsaintsm0m]

I don't know kung allergic rhinits pa ba yung sa son ko or asthma na siya.Minsan itchy siya all over hangang namumula na siya Minsan sneezy siya and itchy ang nose. Minsan naman malamya lang yung mata niya and watery na ayaw magkakakain keso may bumabara daw sa throat niya. Hindi naman siya inuubo. DI ko tuloy alam kung allergies ba yun oh ano. 

[leletmd]

It is possible for a patient to have both allergic rhinitis and asthma. This is called the one airway disease. Sometimes, pati skin asthma or atopic dermatitis pa nga.
Asthma, kasi, may be triggered by uncontrolled or poorly treated allergic rhinitis.
If the symptoms are getting persistent, it is advisable to have the child checked up already.

[ilovedlc]

don't know what to do with me and my sons rhinitis 

[pinkcoyote]

mommies, do you use baby powder for your kids? if not, do you use alternatives (cornstarch based powder)? im looking for one kasi..yung johnsons cornstarch na-discontinue na yata yon.

[lilsaintsm0m]

thanks doc lelet. feeling ko nga din meron pareho. ang asthma po ba may coughing yun? wala ho siyang cough but irritated yung throat niya. and yung eyes niya talaga nakakabother pumupungay madalas. I give him benadryl syrup ho. pero pag night time lang, kasi feeling ko bad yun?

[leletmd]

^ Asthma may present with chronic cough, wheezing (sipol sa paghinga), shortness of breath, etc. One clue if Asthma ang cause ng cough is if there is improvement after Salbutamol is given.
It is likely that the sore throat and itchy eyes that your baby has been experiencing is still related to her allergic rhinitis kasi those are some of the complications of allergic rhinitis. The sore throat may be due to post nasal drip or due to mouth breathing (if barado ang nose, most of the time, may mouth breathing). Sometimes, pwede rin lumaki ang tonsils due to constant irritation from the post nasal drip. Pag barado rin ang nose, pwede rin mamaga ang eyes, it can be itchy and watery, too. This is a type of sore eyes pero hindi infection ang cause. It's what we call allergic conjunctivitis.
Other complications are frequent ear infections, sinusitis, pharyngitis as well as development of asthma.
Benadryl is only short acting. Kapag may complications na, dapat ma-evaluate ng allergist so that proper treatment can be started.

No and okay lang naman so far kahit wala silang powder, mabango pa rin.

[lilsaintsm0m]

oic. thanks doclet. magvisit na kami sa allergist. godbless!

[pinkcoyote]

No and okay lang naman so far kahit wala silang powder, mabango pa rin.

actually ive stopped using powder on my daughter mga 2 weeks na ..at first i thought mahirap kasi super pawisin sya, kaya prati nanlalagkit. pero kaya naman pala, basta magwash/wipe sya and change clothes when we're out, dinadagdagan ko na lang yung extra clothes na baon nya but still, im looking for the cornstarch powder para lang just in case super init. siguro nasanay lang kasi ako since baby sya pag pawis - polbo agad...kaya medyo naninibago lang ako ngayon hehe..

@doc leletmd

doc sa case kasi ng kid ko, nung inuubo siya sa gabi no phlegm, sabi ng pulmo asthma. pag ganun po ba ibig sabihin the coughing is actually asthma attack na? though walang wheezing, ubo lang po talaga.

thank you po...

[leletmd]

@katkat:
You don't need to present with wheezing to diagnose asthma. It can present as just night time or early morning cough without wheezing.
If a child with asthma has persistent cough or tuloy tuloy/sunod sunod na episodic cough, then it is possible that the child is having an asthma attack na. If hindi ka sure, then better to have the child evaluated during the attack so proper treatment can be given.

my daughter has this too. nagmana sa daddy niya. pedia prescribed allerkid once a day during cold weather. i first noticed this when she had teary eyed so I was alarmed and went to pedia immediately. yun nga, allergic rhinitis.

[camsicle]

i suspect true nga sabi ni pedia ko. may AR ang buns ko. dahil nagtry kami aprescribed na sya ng anti-allergy (virlix and alnix) nawala. naubos yung gamot nag end ang schedule ng pagtake ayun bumalik... ang hirap kasi bukod sa magastos, 3 kaming meron na namana lang sa Papa ko. =(
