Dr. Boyan Hadjiev M.D.'s Expert Contributions
Is it true that kids born out of a C-section have poor immunity?
There is some truth to that, but it turns out that C section babies are more prone to developing atopy in childhood and adulthood. The important factor is what skin flora colonizes the baby's GI tract: skin flora from the nurses, the caregivers and the mother OR the mother's birth canal. I recommend you read up on the role of the microbiome in C section babies. Some OB/GYNs are now using what is called a "seeding" procedure. Hope this information helps. READ MORE
What is the safe dose of cetrizine for kids around 5 years of age?
Hello, 5mg should be the right dose. In a pill or syrup form READ MORE
Can antibiotic treat seasonal cough?
You are correct. An antibiotic will not treat a virus. You would get better on your own. READ MORE
Is an allergy to apples possible?
Yes, one can develop an allergy to apples, though a true allergy to apples is rare. It is more likely that your daughter has developed oral allergy syndrome, especially if she suffers from "hay fever " (bitch pollen allergy seems to be the culprit). READ MORE
What could be the cause of the itching and bumps all over my body?
You most likely have developed chronic urticaria (hives). It would probably be best if you saw your allergist for more help. READ MORE
What could be the best medicine for allergic rhinitis?
There is no "permanent cure" though allergy immunotherapy (allergy shots or allergy drops) can be very effective in essentially desensitizing you. There is no such thing as "best medicine". The choice of medicine depends on your symptoms - essentially you can take a nasal spray (there are at least five choices) and/or a pill (an antihistamine or leukotriene modifier) and/or decongestant or any combination of the above plus more. The choice of medicines is something you should discuss with your healthcare provider. I am sorry if this information seems too vague; it is the best answer I could come up with given the information your provided. READ MORE
I am lactose intolerant, does it mean my child will also have this condition?
No, it does not mean that. Without knowing why type of lactose intolerance you have (there is a rare form which is hereditary), one cannot answer the question properly. It is more likely that you have the acquired form of lactose intolerance (lactase deficiency), which is more common and which is not hereditary. READ MORE
Are antihistamines safe for consumption during pregnancy?
You can take cetirizine (Zyrtec) and loratadine (Claritin) and also Benadryl and Chlorpheniramine. Keep in mind that Benadryl and Chlorpheniramine are more likely to make you drowsy. READ MORE
is my allergy anaphylactic
No, it is NOT anaphylactic. If it is limited to the skin only, it is not. It is considered cutaneous (pertaining or related to the skin). READ MORE
Do allergies change?
Yes, they can change over time. And yes, you can develop new ones. READ MORE
Strange allergy, what is it?
You have something quite common called Oral Allergy Syndrome (also known as Pollen-Food Syndrome). The most common reason why this happens is due to allergies to birch pollen, but there are other culprits. Please take a look at this link: https://www.aaaai.org/conditions-and-treatments/library/allergy-library/outdoor-allergies-and-food-allergies-can-be-relate READ MORE
Using an EpiPen
It is a tiny needle hidden inside a plastic container which pops out of the container under pressure. It is meant to be used in the mid-thigh area and you don't have that many nerve endings there. You will feel a sting, but it shouldn't hurt too much. READ MORE
Why am I allergic to just soy milk and no other soy product?
My suspicion is because soy "milk" is not processed (i.e. it is "raw"). Without knowing what brand of soy milk you drink and how they process the "milk", this is just a guess. READ MORE
