My 9 year old son only took Singuliar for about 5 weeks. He had ...

I just started taking it, have only been on it for a couple of nights. I've been very emotional crying, but I'm thinking it's my menstrual period it just happened to start the second day of using it. I will let you know if it continues or gets worse. Debbie

A lot of mothers have started a group on yahoo,it is a singulair side effects group,come join you will see you are not alone, a lot of kids have suffered and are still suffering

gag,

Go to Churg-Strauss syndrome - MayoClinic.com and read the wide variety of symptoms that can be manifested. Singulair is known to the associated with Churg-Strauss. It is unknown whether Singulair can cause it or just uncover it.

Three months is a reasonable wait to see if the side effects have cleared up. But they haven't and your child is still miserable. That means that you can and should investigate and rule out other possibilities.

I am not suggesting at all that anything is wrong other than a longer wait for things to clear up. That could very well be the only issue. But, however, the process of ruling out Churg-Strauss will be so detailed that a rheumatologist would certainly put your mind at ease or uncover what the real reason for the problem is. You need support right now and your child needs support. I am just mentioning it as a starting point on how to get additional help.
