Hi all! My son has EoE (diagnosed at 6). He started Dupixent this January and he’s an absolute champ. He’s been so brave, but he’s feeling very discouraged that it’ll get easier. He says it hurts really bad every time. Obviously it is going to hurt, but is there any way to make it more comfortable? We have tried icing the area first, no ice first, distracting (he played his switch during), and nothing seems to make it hurt any less. I read a tiktok comment that it’s the actual medication that burns when it goes in. Is this true? He has had medical issues his whole life, so he is very patient and polite about his shot. If I can make it any easier on him, I will. Any advice?
