If your child is suffering from hay fever, this is what you need to know to be able to help them.
Hay fever is a form of allergic rhinitis that is typically characterized by sneezing, watery, itchy, puffy eyes and a red nose which usually starts off runny and then ends up being stuffy.
Hay fever is usually the worst for sufferers in the spring and fall but it is not uncommon for kids especially to suffer from hay fever during the summer months as well.

But, I strongly urge all parents to carefully review all the side-effects that are associated with anti-histamines.
And what you will also discover if you look closely is that these types of medications may only offer some symptomatic relief at best.
Our treatments on the other hand, are different.
The chiropractic approach to helping hay fever sufferers is to improve immune system function.
When you refer to the Chart of Effects of Spinal Misalignments found on this web-site you will see that misalignments at the C2 and C4 levels which are at the top of the neck can make one prone to hay fever.

And, there are no dangerous side-effects.
