if a person is dog-allergic and spends a considerable amount of time in a home with dogs it is likely that he will have an increase in his allergic responses. i know you do not want to get rid of your dogs so antihistamines like claritin or zyrtec can block an allergic response and of course there are other prescription allergy treatments that his medical provider can prescribe. the child can get desensitization (allergy shots) therapy for dog dander but that takes time and doesn't always work. the dogs should not sleep on his bed or even be in the room where he sleeps.
how severe is a class iii allergy to dog hair/ dander? what are the correct preventative measures? . my younger son has a class iii allergy to dog hair/dander my older son does not and we have 2 dogs (mutts). i am about to start visitation privileges with my younger son. can he be in my home? what preventative measures should be taken?
