Manage Kid's With Allergies




I wrote this post while participating in a blog tour conducted by Clever Girls Collective on behalf of Children's Claritin®. I have been compensated for my time commitment to the program.


Ugh, allergies, right?!?

My preschool daughter gets them - the sunken-looking eyes, sniffles, etc.  My other kids didn't have allergies, and so I had no idea.  Kate had to point it out to me - allergies, duh!  When I gave her some Children's Claritin
, it really made a difference.

I know we don't have it bad - lots of kids have food allergies or larger health concerns to deal with, so allergies isn't much.  But still, as a mom, you want your kids to feel good.    Anything that will help them be themselves is sought-after.
We wash sheets frequently, and I like to think my house is pretty clean, but I was looking for other ideas...

Some helpful hint from the Claritin Website:
-Keep windows closed (to keep pollen outside)
-Clean air fliters once a month (we need to work on this - I think we only do it a couple times a year)
-Live clutter-free - - less knick knacks there are, the less dust can collect on things
-change sheets, pillowcases, etc - - we even occassionally vacuum our mattresses - did you know you could do that?
-some allergies might be caused by household plants, so keep those to a minimum

Do you gals have any additional helps and tips on managing kid's with allergies??  I think kids are so much happier when they feel good, so it's important to be able to set up a healthy environment for them.
