Hi. my son has a lot of food allergies, peanuts and tree nuts being part of them. He also has asthma. He would often have dark circles under his eyes, swollen eyes (also to the point that they are closed)rashes all over his body..I mean ALLLLL over, covered in bumps from head to toe. We tried many different things, zyrtec, claritan, bendryl, some a few times a day... It was so bad at one point that I couldnt touch him without his skin breaking out into hives. I finally tried a new allergist and he told me he has somthing called dermatagraphism. It explained so much. His skin was basically reacting to everything in his environment. We tried a combination of things and it worked right away. He prescribed Singulair and zyrtec together at night time. We started with one pill and 2 teaspoons of zyrtec. as time went on we reduced the zyrtec to 1 tsp. but it made SUCH a difference for my son. He hardly ever has rashes anymore and his eyes arent dark and no more puffiness. This is what worked for my son. I was hesitant to give him so much med. but it ends up actually being less than the amounts of anti-histamines I was giving him with little to no results. I hope you find somehitng that works for you guys. It tough seeing them like that. Good luck
