Hello!
We have finally jumped through all the hoops in order for Jack to start his allergy shots. He was so excited to start them…tells you how bad he has been feeling.
Once a week we head to the allergy nurse in town. Jack ices his arms before the shots to help lower his reaction to the shots, which are actually little doses of the allergens he is allergic to. Afterwards, we apply Bendryl cream and more ice. The first day of shots, we did not do any of this and he had bad itchy, swollen, red arms. It may seem like and entire process, but it will be so worth it in the long run!
I wish they would have iced my arms in Tennessee when I did shots I would have raised places 3 inches across
