Guest guest Posted September 10, 2001 Report Share Posted September 10, 2001 I know the feeling about yucky noses! My son Brett is 13 and we've dealt with this same problem for years! This year things have been much better using nose drops when the green starts (which dries all that up) and keeping him on Claritan allergy medicine all the time. So far so good. Maybe see if you can try this too. (Flonase or Nasonex is what brett is currently taking for prescription nose drops). We use a liquid Claritan syrup because brett would not tolerate the little pill format. Good luck and keep me posted! Kathy (Mom to Brett 13).

Guest guest Posted September 10, 2001 Report Share Posted September 10, 2001 sherry, Hi its mom to 5 ds/asd, seems to have a runny nose quit a bit also, however when we put him on the gf-cf diet about 4 months ago he has really had much less sinus problems, but something to try is before he goes to bed at night rinse his nose out with saline solution and then with a q- tip very carefully put some sesame seed oil inside each nostrile it has worked with and I still do it every night. The sesame is healing and something about the aroma clears and medicates the sinus passages.. mom to Alek 8, 7, 5 1/2 ds/asd, Logan 4, and Liam 18 months.

Guest guest Posted September 10, 2001 Report Share Posted September 10, 2001 Hello Sherry Fabio has had a long history of sinus infection and a constantly runny nose which in time turned from clear watery to yellow and than to green and of course he had to take either medical nose spray that with time destroys the inside of the nose (sorry I don't know the exact expression) or/and antibiotics. For a couple of years we are using a nose shower with a water/salt solution the thing is made of plastic its called 'RhinoCare' and you fill that with 'Emser Salt' and Water hold it under one nostril and it automatically and very gently pumps the water/salt solution through the one nostril and the green and yellow stuff comes out of the other nostril. Since we are using this RhinoCare Fabio is much healthier. In Switzerland we get the RhinoCare and the 'Emser Salt' at the pharmacy. Kind regards from rainy Switzerland with Tanja 12, Fabio 10 DS/? and Elena 7 runny nose gets a runny nose about this time of the year and its like the everyready battery,I have taken him to the doc and the meds dont touch it Ive taken him off dairy and still icky green Does anyone have ideas?Thanks Sherry mom of stewie ds/asd and spencer -------------------------------------------------- Checkout our homepage for information, bookmarks, and photos of our kids.

Guest guest Posted September 11, 2001 Report Share Posted September 11, 2001 What ive done for nathan perpetual endless supply of snot and mucus, is, lower the dairy, this does hlep some, add more water, and juice, can water the juie down some to lessen calories, up the vitamin C as much as possible, none of us get any where near enough of this. Often some say upping the zinc hleps too. Encourage child at school and home to wash hands as much as possible, to use kleenex or even wipes on thier noses. Ive even resorted to using that alcohol hand wash stuff during flu and cold seasons, and ive seen better results. Also the doctors have assured me this gets easier and better with age, and i think im starting to see this at age 10 even, we've made it 3months (a record) with out even 1 ear infection, yaaaaaaaa,lol. OHOHOH, i just rememberted giving showers instead of baths help trememdously for lowering ear infections too, the water is cleaner, no soap or dirt etc., and making sure ears get good and dry during the worst times, eg winter, using a hair dryer lightly by ear for a good 5-10 minutes blowing back and forth. HOpe this helps, ive been there and still at that door just waiting for the fall invasion,lol, just have had the sniffles pretty much, I think his hot humidity CPAP is helping in this area too. shawna. runny nose gets a runny nose about this time of the year and its like the everyready battery,I have taken him to the doc and the meds dont touch it Ive taken him off dairy and still icky green Does anyone have ideas?Thanks Sherry mom of stewie ds/asd and spencer -------------------------------------------------- Checkout our homepage for information, bookmarks, and photos of our kids.

Guest guest Posted September 11, 2001 Report Share Posted September 11, 2001 none of those skin prik kind worked on nathan, so they finally did a RAST test, they just draw some blood and can test whatever allergies they want, and natan still wasnt allergic to anything seasonal, animals or food. We did find out that nahtan has some low immunoglobins, which too cn be commen, so if allergies show up kneel, check with immunities, even some of nathan's vaccines dont work, like he never got them some even had twice. shawna. runny nose My son is 3 and 1/2. Around 2 he started getting almost chronic colds/runny noses/sinus infections. At first we thought it was exposure to other kids at his early intervention program, but after several very slimey months, our pediatrician referred him to a pediatric allergist. He did an allergy panel and it turned out is allergic to wheat -- not gluten, as celiacs are, but wheat. We withdrew wheat from his diet and his health improved dramatically. The doc says it is likely that will outgrow the allergy by the time he is five or six. The allergy test is a skin test for those under three, a blood test for those over three. It might be worth looking into. Shanon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 Hi, I think I have been taking too much 2% J Crows the past week and a half. I am in medicine and I guess, incorrectly, assumed that 2% meant 20mg per cc as it does with drug dosages in allopathic medicine. Anyway, I swart I have more energy and wake up refreshed, even on less sleep than I sometimes want to get:). My only issue has been a light runny nose. I have no allergies that I know of and do not feel ihave a cold. I recently purchased a " household physician " textbook from an antique store. It was published in 1907. It states a symptom of " iodidsm " is a runny nose. Is this true? Anyone have any experince with this? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
