I am blessed to be completely ignorant about allergies. My parents/siblings, myself, DD1, DH, DH's parents/siblings....none have an allergy of any kind, seasonal or food, with the exception of penicillian for me as I was overdosed a few thousand times growing up.
DD2 is almost 2.5yo. The weather here has been chilly and just in the last 4 days we have converted to spring and within those 3 days everything around here has bloomed in full force outta no where. News reports that pollen/etc levels are crazy high.
Anyway, last ngiht we opened all the windows in the house and turned on the ceiling fans and went to bed. DD2 woke up with runny nose/watery eyes. I shut the house up as it was starting to warm up. Within 3 hours she was totally dried out. We then went outside to play for an hour before nap and within 30 min outside she was running like a faucet. Inside for nap, woke up totally dried out again. Back outside when DD1 got home from school and within 15 min she was a snotty/watery mess. We stayed outside until bedtime at which time she had snot running down her face everywhere. We came inside and took bath/read books and cuddled. About 45-60 min after being iniside she seems to be nearly dry again.
Maybe this is a dumb question, but is that what seasonal allergies are like? And do I do anything about them if they don't seem to bother her at this point? Is there a chance they will subside as her body adjusts to all the new outside stuff now that spring has sprung?
Thanks!
