Childhood allergies and asthma. symptoms.?

Question

I have a 3 year old grandson. Who diagnosed with allergies and asthma when he was 1 yr. old. It is very hard to decide if he has a bad cold or his allergies. But there is a lot of heavy yellow mucus and some bleeding from nose. Hard to breath. When he has a bad spell there can be upset stomach and vomiting. When there is vomiting there is a lot of heavy flem from the stomach. So I had a son that had this problem when he was young then he grew out of it at 2. So what do you think. My grandson has been on zytec also.

Answer 1

When my son has an attack he lets me know! He is usually wheezing and very cranky. He tells me he can't breath and he needs a treatment. The mucus sounds like it may be something else. I think you need to ask a Dr to find out for sure but I don't remember vomiting, mucus and nose bleeds as symptoms of asthma.

Answer 3

The first link I am sending is a great article that tells you how to tell the difference between allergy and a cold. As a rule, allergy is thin, watery mucous and thick yellow mucous is from cold or infection. If he swallows too much mucous, that can cause the vomiting. You didn't say what your grandson is allergic to, but I am guessing it is environmental. Make sure he has an air cleaner in his bedroom and that his bed is covered in those special allergy proof covers. His Mom should be washing his sheets and towels every 7 days in this special demite stuff or one of the allergen washes, I will send you a link to that stuff.

My brother is an asthmatic and after ten years his asthma has shown no sign of improving. He has been to several doctors but they didn't help much.

If you want a proven, all-natural way to cure your asthma, without having to pay for useless medications with harmful side-effects, then this is the most important page you'll ever read.

I am a nurse with over 25 years experience in this area and I have seen a lot of people with various illnesses caused from chemicals and fragranced products as well as VOC’s in their homes, schools and workplace. This problem is growing as more and more chemicals are being introduced and used on a daily basis.

We are seeing more and more people with Asthma, Allergies, Hives, Eczema and respiratory illnesses. I can not emphasize how important it is to educate yourself about MCS and the harm you may be doing to your health by using chemicals and fragranced products.

If you or a loved one suffers from Asthma, Allergies, Autism, chronic headaches, reproductive problems, Migraines, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome or Fibromyalgia, you need to read further and learn about the signs and symptoms of MCS - Multiple Chemical Sensitivity.

Most doctors will not inform you about this because patients as a whole like to walk out of a doctors office with a prescription for some magical medicine and they do not want to be told that their expensive new perfume or newly installed carpet may be the culprit. So, the doctor will give you medications and many of these meds either do not work or cause other health problems.

Chemicals and fragranced products are often the root of all evil when it comes to your health. Many of the below mentioned items are common triggers to sinus, asthma, itching, headaches, Migraines and allergy problems amongst other health issues. Get rid of them and your lungs will thank you and you will breathe easier.

And, it is not only personal body or cleaning products causing havoc on your health….many people become ill after wearing brand new clothing, dry-cleaned clothes, installing new carpet, painting, buying a new mattress or after home renovations because of the Flame Retardants, Benzenes, Formaldehydes, etc. used in these products. So the answer is NO, you are not imagining that 2 weeks after your home, office or classroom got renovated you started to become ill, get dizzy or have headaches. This is happening more and more these days and adults as well as children are becoming sicker and sicker.

Unfortunately, too many doctors compound the problem by prescribing chemical medications to try to alleviate the symptoms of an already chemical overloaded body and they rarely tell the patient to eliminate the chemical offenders. How many times have I seen people in the grocery store with Bounce, Glade Plug-Ins and Febreeze in their shopping cart along with a bottle of Benadryl , Migraine Excedrin and a box of Allergy Tablets ? Why don’t they make the connection?

Here is a Brain Spect Scan Before and after a whiff of perfume:

BIG NO-NO’s
No Bounce or dryer sheets
No Febreeze
No Glade Plug-ins ---- http://www.mcs-america.org/april2007pg12...
No scented candles
No Fragranced Products on Body, Hair or Clothing
No Smoke
No Dander
No Sprays

And remember, it is NOT the smell it is the Chemicals that make up the smell. So, even if something is "Fragrance Free" these products often mask the smell with another chemical !

More and more offices and schools are creating “Fragrance Free Zones”… why do you think this is?

Feel free to contact me on this subject.

Good Luck

My daughter has a similar problem when she was young. Every time she got a cold, she had to go to the doctor and get antibiotics for bronchitis. She would also vomit before I got her on medicine. I finally figured out that she is allergic to yellow #5. Since she has been avoiding foods containing yellow # 5, she is much better. She has not needed antibiotics in years. He probably needs some asthma medicine. Watch his diet and see if anything seems to make his problem worse. It would not hurt him to avoid yellow #5 for a while and see if it helps.
