Seasonal Allergies - What can I do?

Recommended Posts

He all,

 

I have a question about what to do for seasonal allergies for my son with TS. I believe other have also had to deal with this and would just like to hear what some have done. Every year around this time my sons tics become worse I believe it is due to seasonal allergies/tree pollens/grasses etc.. Usually he gets a new tic that I would consider a major motor tic. It is more noticable than his usual minor tics. It happens every year between Mar. & Apr. The past few years he has noticed that the tics are worse but it never bothered him much. This year I know will be different. He is in 4th grade and this is the year that he has actually worried about what the other kids think about him. Not just the TS but his clothes, hair, etc. I guess this is what they call pre-teen and I have to say its not much fun being the parent....

 

My question is what have others given thier kids to help with thier allergies. I am open to all info. I would like to know if anyone has had any positive results from Perscription, over the counter or natural remedys.

 

Thanks

Gina

My son suffers from seasonal allergies as well as year round allergies to dust, animal hair, etc. We have tried many different products over the years. Some seem to increase the tics (as well as his ADHD). I would recommend that you ask your doctor for a sample of antihistimines before you invest in a months supply. Currently, he is taking Zyrtec with little noticable effect on his tics. It does change his behavior however if he's on it for more than 3 days. I thought that some of the nose sprays used for allergies increased tics although the doctor said it was impossible. Good luck! Mary
