What are the healthiest options for my baby’s first solid foods?
By Carolyn Sax, MD, a primary care physician with the Pediatric Physicians’ Organization at Children’s and practices at Hyde Park Pediatrics in Hyde Park, Mass. In an effort to prevent food allergies, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) has recommended introducing white rice cereal as an infant’s first food for years. Bland rice cereal was felt to be unlikely to cause digestive problems or allergies. Doctors suggested delaying a baby’s exposure to some of the more common food allergy triggers—milk, eggs, fish and nuts—until a child is between 1 and 3 years old, because they worried that exposure too ea...

9 Hacks To Get Your Best Sleep This Allergy Season
Seasonal allergies or asthma affect more than 60 million Americans, according to estimates, and more than 75 percent of those people report their allergies cause them to lose sleep, resulting in drowsy days. Unfortunately, it’s easy to bring lots of allergens from the outside into our bedrooms. They unknowingly cling to our clothes, hair and pets, and can land on our garments in closets and drawers, carpeting, drapes and upholstery (did somebody say “dust ruffle”?). Indeed, one of the worst offenders is dust. Did you know that up to 80 percent of the dust in your bedroom either was or still is alive, and is a majo...

What are Common Causes of Anaphylaxis?
Discussion Anaphylaxis is a potentially life-threatening hypersensitivity reaction of the body. Usually anaphylaxis is IgE mediated but complement-mediated immune complex reactions or IgG mediated reactions can cause anaphylaxis. Usually mucous membranes or skin are involved, but it is a systemic disease process with at least 2 systems involved (respiratory is second most common followed by gastrointestinal system). The epidemiology is difficult to discern but the estimated incidence is about 50-112 episodes per 100,000 person-years and estimated prevalence is 0.3-5.1%. There is data supporting an increased incidence. Over...

Fatal Mistakes Can't Be Undone
I was at a birthday party approximately 6 years ago for one of my son’s friends. While chatting with the some of the moms in his class, I must have had my back turned when little cups of snacks were passed out to each hungry 5-year-old. I broke out into a cold sweat and my heart started beating in my chest loudly. I was about to yank the cup from his hand when I saw from afar it was from a box of cereal he had eaten countless times before and I knew was safe for his egg, tree nut and peanut allergies. I don’t know what it was, call it “momsense,” but it kept gnawing at me that I did not actually rea...

How Much Cetirizine Can Be Used?
Discussion Antihistamine medications have been available for over 70 years. The original H1-antihistamines, while effective in treated allergic rhinitis, urticaria and other allergic problems, easily penetrated the blood-brain barrier and caused somnolence. The newer, second generation H1-antihistamines have much less somnolent side effects because of poor penetrance. Fexofenadine (Allegra®), desloratadine (Claritin®) and levocetirizine (Zyrtec®) are commonly used H1-antihistamines in the US today. Previously Astemazole (Hismanal®) and Terfanadine (Seldane®) were used but were withdrawn because of prob...
