If your little one has battled a persistent cough for over two weeks, allergies may be the source of the issue. If symptoms include not only post-nasal drip, but itchy eyes, ears, and throat, it is highly likely that your child may be experiencing allergies.
Sneezing is one of the most common allergy symptoms among kids. Is your child constantly wiping away a runny or itchy nose? Are they sneezing or experiencing postnasal drip and stuffy congestion? If so, your child may have allergies.
Hives or rashes
Dry skin, itchy rashes, and raised welts (also known as hives) are all common signs of an allergic reaction. Rashes and welts manifest in unique patterns and vary in size. They also can repeatedly appear and fade away during an allergic reaction.
