Understanding Allergies in Children: Signs and Management

Allergies are common in children and can range from mild to severe. At Kurapati Children Hospital, we specialize in diagnosing and managing allergies, helping parents in Khammam understand and cope with their child’s allergic reactions. Here’s what you need to know.

1. Common Types of Allergies in Children

Children can be allergic to various substances, including pollen, dust mites, pet dander, certain foods, and insect stings. Understanding these allergies is essential for effective management.

2. Recognising Allergy Symptoms

Common allergy symptoms include sneezing, runny nose, itchy eyes, skin rashes, and digestive issues. Be vigilant for any signs of an allergic reaction in your child.

3. Testing for Allergies

If you suspect your child has allergies, consult a pediatrician for testing. Allergy tests can help identify specific triggers, guiding effective treatment and management strategies.

4. Managing Allergies at Home

To minimise allergic reactions, keep your home clean and reduce exposure to allergens. For food allergies, always read labels and inform caregivers about your child’s allergies.

5. Emergency Action Plans for Severe Allergies

For children with severe allergies, have an emergency action plan in place. This includes carrying an epinephrine auto-injector and knowing when to seek emergency help.
