A pediatric allergist is also known as a pediatric immunologist. If your child(ren) is dealing with allergies or other issues that constantly have them suffering through triggers, this all comes from their immune system. A pediatric allergist is who you would want to book an appointment with, as they have the special skills needed to help treat your child(ren).
Pediatric allergists (immunologists) are medical physicians with a minimum of four years of medical school education. To continue to be a pediatric allergist, they will have to complete three years of primary care with pediatric residency training, a minimum of two to three years studying allergies and completing an immunology program, and finally becoming certified by the American Board of Allergy and Immunology.
Pediatric allergists go through a lot of educational training and residency to provide their specialty skills to help treat children from birth to their teenage years. The choice to specialize in pediatric allergy and immunology helps equip them to provide some of the most experienced and caring medical care when dealing with the unique medical needs of children that are dealing with allergies and immune system issues.
Pediatric allergists (immunologists) diagnose and treat many allergies that are often found in children, including:
• Asthma
• Hay fever
• Sinusitis
• Eczema
• Hives
• Severe reactions to specific foods, bug bites/stings, and medications
Immune disorders that often lead to:
• Frequent sinusitis
• Pneumonia
• Diarrhea
• Thrush
• Abscesses
• Severe infections
Pediatric allergies are able to diagnose children’s allergic symptoms by providing special testing. The newest forms of testing provide almost painless specialized testing. The treatments available for allergies will combine a multitude of things including avoiding things that may be causing the symptoms to occur, immunotherapy, or medication.
Age does not matter when it comes to allergies occurring in someone. A child may develop an allergy as early as birth. The sooner the allergies are able to be identified, the sooner they can be treated. To treat them is to minimize the symptoms which the child is dealing with, and help to improve their quality of life. A few of the most common symptoms children may deal with when they have allergies includes:
• Skin rashes
• Trouble breathing
• Coughing
• Sneezing
• Runny nose
• Congestion
• Itchy eyes
• Upset stomach
Allergies can be triggered by many things, including indoor or outdoor items. You should book an appointment with a pediatric allergist when you begin noticing your child dealing with symptoms that are in relation to something they ate or were near that could cause an allergic reaction.
Before the appointment, keep a journal of all the symptoms and exposures the child(ren) may have had. This will help the doctor to see a pattern and help diagnose the child much sooner.
