Singulair and danger zone

My 2 1/2 year old son started taking Singular 2 weeks ago. We have noticed a change in his attitude. He hits and pushes his 5 year old sister. He cries ALL the time. His nose continuelous is runny. Last week, he woke up and was vomiting but had no temperature. He also cried and said his chest hurt.

We took him to the DR, and they said that it was just a tummy bug and that he was fine.

Yesterday, (week 2) I picked him up from the nanny's house and he had red hives (welts) that were on his neck, behind the ears, his tummy and on his side. Some were very large. He was wheezing and I checked his Oxygen level and it had dropped to 91/92. The danger zone for him is 89. So we gave him albuterol treatment and his Oxygen shoot up to 97, whcih was fine.

He has had a chronic coughing, and he won't eat very much (before he would eat everything and want more). He cries alot at night. One night he woke up 2X screeming. Like he was in pain. Got him calmed down and he said his tummy hurt.
After his bath, I was rubbing lotion on his leg and he pulled his legs away crying and said they hurt.

After reading everything here, I KNOW IT IS THE SINGULAR. I am going to print of this web page and take it back to my son "Specialist" DR that I paid $120 to see my son, and tell the DR to put this in my son's file!

Thank you to everyone who has made their private lives public so the rest of us may learn in time.
