Suggest Treatment For Swollen Eyes And Cough In A Teenager
Hi There, I have a 13 year old son who has never experienced hayfever, we are just starting to experience our spring weather after a very wet winter, there is a lot of pollen around. My son has very sore swollen eyes and a cough, he is also sniffling and is very, very tired (this is somewhat out of charachter) I have given him a hayfever tablet and he says it is helping a little, he is home from school, in bed, I am not sure weather to take him to the doctors or not, the closest doctor to our home is 65 kilometres away however I am more than happy to take him, he does not think it is neccessary, but I would rather be ssafe than sorry, what if it is not just hayfever, what if it is some horrible viral infection or???

Hello,
The symptoms of your son seem to be related to allergy.
I recommend using antihistamines daily such as Levocetirizine.
I also recommend using a steroid nasal spray.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
