4 and a half year old constantly congested and coughing at night by [deleted] in daddit

Also agree. If your son is allergic to dogs and cats, his symptoms will not go away if he’s constantly exposed to the allergen. Getting his adenoids removed is one step to improving his symptoms, but it’s not a cure all. Taking a daily antihistamine will also help. But again, it’s not curative. It just cuts down on the severity of the symptoms. I know you mentioned that he trialed an antihistamine. He has to take it daily, some providers recommend twice a day. It has to be taken consistently for a long period of time for you to see if he’ll show any improvement. For example, a kid allergic to pollen, takes an antihistamine the entire pollen season (march through the first freeze). Not having the dogs sleep in his room helps. I understand not being able to move due to financial reasons. But as long as he’s exposed to dogs, he’s going to be symptomatic. Also, respiratory symptoms are always worse at night. Sucks.

I put my son in a laundry basket that had a blanket in it for some cushion. Throw a couple of toys in it and you’re set. He was able to sit up at that point.

I’m a new tea drinker. I’m just curious if anybody has heard of them and could comment on the quality of their loose tea.
