10 yr. old girl....nose blocked for 3 months??
by 123mom, Feb 16, 2005 12:00AM
After years of allergists and ENT's; and going from being allergic to evertyhing (envirmental and food) she tested "no allergies". Well, then I was told she has asmtha by one doctor, the other says "where did he get that from"? She has had her tonsils, adenoids (adenoids),out. She is overweight for age and height. history of eczema. Very pale skin tone, has had 2 itchy dots on her face,one on chest area; along with left side of nose totally blocked for over 3 months now. no fever. Gets little exercise do to bilateral coalitions in both feet.She also has learning disabilities.I'd like to know if there is something these doctor's are missing?? What kind of doctor should I try next? Nothing is working; please advise. Does a respitory therapist do testing that would benefit, to get a proper diagnosis?? HELP!! Thank you for your time! A concerned mom.

The combination of skin, nasal and possibly chest problems leads me to believe that allergy is playing a significant role in the problems for your daughter. On this basis, I would suggest seeing a board certified allergist that you trust. Talk with this specialist about these problems again.
