Respiratory: Allergies & Sinus Problems - Toddler Allergies

Question
My poor little 18-month-old was diagnosed with allergies (at 16 months via the horrible skin test) to mold, pollen, dustmites, dander. . . you name it. No food allergies though. He's been prescribed and taking 3 different medications: Nasonex, Singulair and Zyrtec. However, these medications seem to be completely ineffective. I swear he was in much better shape before we even had him tested. He is severely congested - either his nose is running constantly or (when he is reclined and trying to sleep) he gurgles and chokes on the mucous which I can only assume is extreme post-nasal drip. He seems completely miserable, and I can't bear to see him stick his little hand in his mouth and wince in pain trying to fix whatever it is that is wrong in there. I've read that antihistamines thicken mucous - so would it be better for me to NOT give him the Zyrtec so that his congestion would be thinner or would that have some other unanticipated result? Is there any information about allergy medications in younger children derailing their natural development of tolerance to the offending allergens? Is there anything else that can be done for him? I am desperate to find something to rid him of this affliction. Acupunture, herbs, anything? Do you think shots would be futile at his young age? I've talked with doctors but have yet to get any better answers than more/different medications. I realize I am asking several questions, but any advice you could give would be sincerely appreciated.

Answer
Susan,

My heart breaks for your little one and I am sorry you both are in so much misery and pain.

Please visit this website NOW www.secrets2health.com and order my report. I will call you within 48 hrs and show you what I think is a great solution.

For now, what laundry detergents, cleaners and cleansers and toiletries do you use? Do you have any pets? and is there a family history of these problems?

Again, visit the website above and read the report fully. and for now I would keep your little one away from fumes, perfumes, dust,smoke, pets, chemicals and avoid any shots for now. If you dont feel the allergy meds are working, it is up to you to discontinue them. Most anti-allergy meds unfortunately are trial and error.

Read the information I will send you and Lets see if this works before you make any massive decisions.
Let me know
