Frequently Asked Questions
Paediatric Allergy and Immunology focuses on diagnosing and treating allergies, immune system disorders, and related conditions in children, from infancy through adolescence.
We treat a wide range of allergies including food allergies, environmental allergies (e.g., pollen, dust), insect sting allergies, medication allergies, and skin conditions like eczema.
Common symptoms include skin rashes, hives, wheezing, difficulty breathing, runny nose, chronic cough, digestive issues, or recurrent infections.
We use various diagnostic methods such as skin prick tests, blood tests, and detailed medical history evaluations to determine allergies.
Immunotherapy helps children build tolerance to allergens over time. It involves gradually introducing small doses of the allergen to reduce the child’s sensitivity.
Treatment may involve avoiding allergens, prescribing medications such as antihistamines or inhalers, and in some cases, recommending immunotherapy (allergy shots).
