What Are The Symptoms Of An Allergic Reaction?
Hello. My daughter is 18 months old and is suffering from diarrhea, runny nose, watering eyes accompanied with redness around her eyes. This is something she's goes through frequently. Symptoms just started tonight, and based on past experience, she'll have a cough in the next few days as well. We've noticed also that she seems to develop this sickness when we use our baby sitter. During the periods I was out of work, she seemed fine and never got sick. We're concerned she may be exposed to a toxin there we're unaware of? Or is she just exhibiting signs of allergies?

Hello.
I would like to ask you whether she develops fever or not.
As you have not mentioned fever, I would first think of food allergy.
From your history, personally I would advice you to observe and correlate symptoms with foods, especially milk, peanut, egg, treenuts, and soy.
At present, I would not think of unknown toxin exposure.
Wish your daughter the best health.
Regards,
Dr Parin
