When your child is dealing with allergies, it’s important that they get all the care that they need. Allergies can manifest in different ways and different children can have completely different reactions to each allergen.

Managing Your Child’s Allergies

There are many different types of common allergies that your child might deal with, such as pollen, pet dander, or certain foods. Common symptoms of an allergy attack include itchy eyes, rash, stomach cramps, hives, stuffy nose, and anaphylaxis.

Avoiding allergens is the best way to manage allergies. If your child is allergic to pollen, keep them inside on dry, windy days and shower after outdoor time. If allergic to pet dander, clean often and have your child wash their hands after touching a pet. Food allergies are very common and are easy to avoid by avoiding cross-contamination and alerting others when ordering food.
