Micah still sick...

[Marilyn]

Haley, our youngest, Melissa, has had alergies since she was really small, but never had ear infections. We would use the vaporizer and as Gina said, at that time Dimetapp was the thing. Claritin is really good, also. Vapor Rub on her chest seemed to help, also. We were up with her many a night when she was small. We visited the piney woods of East Texas when the pine trees were blooming one year when she was about 2 years old. There was pine pollen everywhere, and she got really stuffed up from that. I spent the day in bed with her giving her antihistamines and tylenol trying to help her to feel better. It's no fun at all.

She did handle it better as she got older, but in the spring and fall of each year, we had a couple of months of alergy problems. She lives in the Austin area now, and has even more problems there with all the cedar trees, but she's old enough to be able to deal with it on her own now.

So hope he gets to feeling better and better. The Claritin seems to become more effective after being on it for about 2 weeks. It's not a quick fix. Seems it has to get into your system a bit.
