My son's allergies come on every year in the spring and gets worth every year.It started with very red watery eyes which were extremely itchy. We used Patanol with mixed results. Then he developed nasal drip and yellow discharge from eyes. Recently he developed barking cough which gets much worth at night time. He says his chest hearts when he coughs. He is always tired and very irritable. He also got eczema flare up right now. Before now the eczema was under control for 3 years.
Thank you for your help.

For a Homeopathic remedy please give your son's complete symptoms. Remember Homeopathy treats the patient not the disease or disorder. So the how and what the patient feels are all important symptoms in looking up the right remedy for the person. And by complete symptoms I mean everything from head to toes(Mental and Physical) including modalities.
I would need to clarify a few more things before I can suggest an appropriate Homeopathic remedy and it seems you do not like to send or recieve emails. Please email me and keep your email contact open.
Take Care and God Bless !

Poor baby! My son went through that when he was in preschool and elem. school. You are probably doing this already, but try changing his pillow case every nigh, I now have tons :) and his sheets several times/week. You can also wash his pillow using a few drops of bleach, then place them in the dryer. You can also throw the pillows in the dryer for about 20 mins. without washing them. You might want to change his AC filter once a month. Try shampooing his carpet once a month. I really feel for you, I know what is like. The itching around the eyes, I used to apply petroleum jelly to my son, it alleviates the itching, be vary careful you dont want it to get into his eyes. Petroleum jelly is also good for the face and arms dry skin, my son used to have bumps in both areas and I used to apply it 2/3 times per week after taking a shower. He needs to avoid hot water and deodorant soaps. I've been using Ivory bar for years and his skin is doing fine. What your doing about finding other natural cures is great, too much medicine can affect his ability to pay attention in school. I also added an air purifier in his room. No fan in his room. I got mine at Walmart and it worked wonders, I bought one for every room of the house. I also squezed my own orange juice he loves it. When there is a lot of mucus, what doctors have told me is to keep him away from dairy products until it goes away. I hope your son feels better soon.

Homeopathics will help ease the symptoms and you've gotten excellent advise, however, do consider having your son do a Health Kinesiology allergy treatment. It's 100% natural and non-invasive and has proven very sucessful in permanently eliminating allergies of all kinds.
Google the term to find more info.

i don't understand why your well being practitioner would not imagine it really is probable. Our pediatrician, confronted with lingering colds that lasted for months, suggested that per chance we were coping with seasonal hypersensitive reactions. She suggested lets attempt somewhat Benedryl or maybe Claritin, and spot if it helped. If it did, tremendous. And if it did not, then we will understand it wasn't hypersensitive reactions without harm finished. i ought to call your well being practitioner for the most outstanding dose and aspects it a attempt.
