I am suspecting my child is suffering from more allergies (or overactive immune system). He already has a diagnosed egg allergy, but his blood level markers are low. His symptoms are runny nose and sensitive skin with recently occasional urticaria (after a bout of roseola).
I know doctors treat medication lightly and are happy to prescribe medication for even the slightest condition. I was suggested Benadryl. The thing is that I do not want to treat symptoms without addressing the main problem.
Can antihistamines be useful to reduce inflammation and assist in health recovery? If so, what should be done in addition to the medication?
I know it can be tricky to comment on children cases. I mainly want to know if medication is necessary for recovery. Despite his symptoms, my child is achieving his milestones and is agreeable most of the time.
