Does your child frequently experience sneezing, a runny nose, itchy eyes, skin rashes, or reactions to certain foods? These symptoms may be signs of an allergy.
Allergies occur when the immune system reacts to a substance that is usually harmless, such as pollen, dust mites, pet dander, or certain foods.
When Should Your Child Be Tested?
If your child experiences recurring symptoms, unexplained skin reactions, or suspected food allergies, allergy testing may help identify the cause. Common testing options include skin prick tests and blood tests, depending on your child's symptoms and medical history.
What Are the Benefits of Allergy Testing?
Identifying your child's allergies can help you:
Understand what triggers their symptoms.
Reduce exposure to specific allergens.
Find appropriate treatment options.
Create a plan to manage allergic reactions.
