[QUOTE="skeeter, post: 196379, member: 439"] If you can, go to a different allergist. I "lucked out" with ours when NF was young. This allergist didn't go on just skin test results, but also on very strong history. While NF actually did test positive to cow's milk, the allergist stated that he would have diagnosed based only on the history he took - NF had many symptoms indicative of food allergies. One thing about antihistimines, the BEST time to take them is BEFORE symptoms occur. This means if you suspect ragweed allergies, finding out when ragweed pollen is present and treat accordingly. This means for my family (all highly allergic to ragweed) we start antihistimine treatment on August 1st, and continue every day until the first killing frost (usually mid to late October). It's important to have a steady amount in the system. If you wait until symptoms are present, you are having to fight a lot harder to clear them up. If your child is suffering year round, food or dust mites is a possibility. If season, look to trees, grass or weeds. Molds are tricky ones - depending on where you live they could be seasonal or year round. [/QUOTE]
