Hi

I've been reading about a new med for congestion/allergies etc

Here is some info from another mom...FYI

My son has both EA's and FA's. Our allergist prescribed Ah-Chew for us and I love it! He gave us two types: one that is just a decongestant (no psuedoephedrine) and one that is a combination antihistamine/ decongestant and a drying agent. We mostly use the decongestant and it works well and doesn't keep him up at night like products that contain psuedoephedrine.

Thanks Kim, nice of you to share this tip.

I have a few questions. Is this for children only?

Also, I have been extremely stuffed up most of my life and have taken more antihistamines than I can count; however, NOTHING helped unless it had the Pseudoephedrine in it? So I am wondering what is in this new wonder drug that would help if that Pseudo, etc is missing?

Thanks for the link. It scared me the side effects?!

I hate taking meds, although I have always been one to pop 10 pills b/c the first 5 didn't work...sigh. You know I am exaggerating.
