Nettles for allergies...

Does anyone know if nettles are good for allergies? If so is it ok for my 11 month old? The dr told me Ollie Judy had a cold...but it seems more like allergies...his sneezing, runny nose, watery eyes and cough all got worse when we were playing outside this evening. He seems miserable, and I would like to provide some relief. I read allergies are really rare this young, but my husbands allergies are awful today to!

Rare? When my son was 5months it was spring time. We opened the windows and poor baby was like he got hit by a bus. He was so stuffed up but running nose, watering eyes, cough. He had bad allergies. Got sent home with benedryl which usually isnt even allowed til 6months.

I know a teaspoon of local honey per day is great for allergies but I don't know what age babies can start having honey

@mama_kat yeah I can't either! I am sorry that she has allergies I bet they are miserable!

@steph_due_101611 the doc said that...It seems like its allergies or maybe a mix of a cold and allergies, they sure did get worse in the yard! I can't find any allergy meds for his age, although hey lands has drops for sneezing and congestion so they seem to working.

@sands3 ya honey isn't recommended until after 1 I think

Oh ok

@sands3 no problem! Thanks for the input! My husband uses local honey and bee pollen to help hiS allergies!

I used to but they aren't so bad where I live now. They kill me when I go to my parents house
