        My son is 4, he has been getting stress induced hives and a severe cough since he was 18 months old. I thought that it was something food or air related but as I’ve observed him I figured out that it seems to be more induced by his emotional response than outside influences or exercise. Is there an herb that you can use that is as strong as Benadryl? He is very good at eating herbs but he is still 4 so I need a way for him to take it and an herb strong enough that it can have an immediate reaction. I will still continue with preventative herbs at the same time, but what is the strongest for severe cases?
        also side note, Dr. jones do you take patients that can come see you in person? I have two sets of twins and each kid has their own unique challenges, I don’t live very far away. Please let me know if I could schedule something with you.

          Some nettle leaf might make a big difference and is safe.

          I’m not doing personal consults presently but my colleague Dr. Jed Adamson is. He’s in Twin Falls.

          Don't use herbs or combine herbs with medications or use them during lactation or pregnancy without talking with your healthcare provider.
