I have the common seasonal allergies like allergic to pollen and all that but i started coughing and i don’t know if that’s normal. How can i tell the difference between a swine flu and an allergy?
because its not and if it was its not going to kill you!!!!!!!!

My baby is almost 6 months old. She’s on a neb every 4-6 hours because of bronchitis, but her doctor said it could be an early sign of asthma. Now she went to the doctor today for fever and a cough and they said it was her air ways and "asthma like symptoms". But they told me they can’t diagnose her yet.
Many doctors wait until they are 2. No reason just a habit. We had a doctor that called it reactive airway diesease. They treat the symptoms anyway.

Ive had skin hives for 8 weeks straight. Ive tried 2 different allergy meds prescribed, but i still get them. I changed laundry detergent to the Unscented/allergy free kind but nothing works. Any suggestions?
CHANGE almost everything.
Bedsheets, for example.
Wash everything in really hot water.
Switch to cotton sheets and clothing. Give up perfume and any kind of soap or body lotion that isn’t specifically for your allergies.
Start keeping records of what you touch and use - and when the hives are worse.
Aveeno Oatmeal soap seems to be the safest for me and my ( also allergic) husband. Unscented, of course.

I was just wondering how asthma does this. Does it supress the immune system? I was just wondering because this is the 2nd cold I’ve had this month and the 4th since October. Before my asthma became bad I hardly ever caught colds and I’ve always eaten healthily.
I found a website that has a lot of information on Asthma. Take a look at the information and there may be suggestions on what you can do to prevent the colds.
