  Patricia A. asked:

  Hi, We are in need of some help. My daughter (a toddler) has the following allergies (all anaphylaxis): Soy, wheat, milk, fish, shell fish, eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, sesame, apples and chicken. We just moved to a new area (military) and I am in desperate need of a good allergist, someone that is going to take the time to help me open up food options for her and have good beside manners in our area. I made an appointment at the local Children's Hospital and their first available appointment is at the end of JULY. We thought of driving 4/5 hours away to John Hopkins because I've heard that they have a good allergy research center (not sure if that is true). In any case John Hopkins doesn't have openings in pediatrics until the end of September. Does a toddler need to see a pediatric allergist or can she see any? I am trying to find foods that she can eat and without being able to consult an allergist it is really limiting, not to mention that I am afraid to feed her. Please help.

  Where are you located? You can also search for allergists on the http://www.aaaai.org website. Pediatric allergists are allergist who were first trained as pediatricians. Allergists are typically trained as internal medicine doctors first (adult). Some see children and some do not - you'd have to check.

  Lori S. asked:

  Thanks for all of the good allergy med advice, everyone! I will be going to the store later today for the gross nasal cleaner thing. ;) Next question: Hickory/Palos friends, does anyone have a good allergist they would recommend? I'm looking for a short driving distance and a doctor that honors appointment times and doesn't make patients wait. (I'm done with waiting for doctors who can't stick to their appointment times. Ain't nobody got time for that. #timemanagement)

  Go to www.aaaai.org and click the "find an allergist" link at the top of the page. Enter your zip code and a list of nearby allergists will come up.
