What are some of the common conditions caused by allergies?
The most common conditions caused by allergies are:\n\nAllergic rhinitis or hay fever\nThis is the most common ailment in children caused by allergies. The symptoms for this include sneezing, itchy and runny nose, nasal congestion, postnasal drip, watery, itchy, and red eyes, and chronic ear problems. As opposed to its name, hay doesn’t trigger allergic rhinitis and doesn’t lead to fever.\n\nNasal congestion\nAnother common ailment caused by allergies is chronic nasal congestion. In some severe cases, the nose is so congested that the child has to use their mouth for breathing. This can lead to your child not getting a good night’s sleep. They will stay tired the whole day. If mouth-breathing and congestion aren’t treated, they can affect bones of the face and teeth growth. You can avoid these problems by treating the allergies early.\n\nEar infections\nAllergies can often lead to ear inflammation that accumulates fluid. This results in decreased hearing and ear infections. If your child’s hearing is impaired while he/she is learning to talk, it can lead to poor speech. Apart from earache, allergies can lead to ear-popping, itching, and fullness.\n\nA pediatric allergy specialist near you will help you know more about allergies in children and the treatment for it. :12929, 3,, 15 Merriweather The most common conditions caused by allergies are:

What are food allergies?
Food allergies are extremely common. Some sensitive babies can have allergic reactions to the good their mother is eating. This only happens when the mother is breastfeeding. If this happens, the baby needs to be tested for allergies. Removing the foods from the diet of the mother will provide relief.\n\nChildren are mostly allergic to milk and peanuts. Other common triggers are fish, eggs, shellfish (shrimp, crab, crayfish, and lobster), nuts (walnuts, pecans, and cashews), wheat, and soy. In some cases, children can outgrow allergies to eggs, soy, milk, and wheat. However, allergies triggered by fish, tree nuts, and peanuts are severe and can last a lifetime.\n\nIf your child has a food allergy, you must know about anaphylaxis. It is a life-threatening allergic reaction in which there is trouble in breathing, a sudden drop in blood pressure that can cause the body to go into shock. For this reason, Epinephrine or adrenaline is prescribed to children with food allergies that are provided with an auto-injector. :12929, 3,, 15 Merriweather Food allergies are extremely common.

How steps can I take to prepare for a child’s allergies in schools?

Your child’s school must be informed about any allergies that your child might have. If your child has a severe allergy or asthma, you can give your action plan to the school administrative office or the nurse. Also, discuss medications, in case of an emergency. Apart from this, here is what you need to take care of:\n\n Dust irritation - Children with allergic issues should be allowed to sit away from the blackboard. This will protect them from any irritation caused by the chalk dust.\n Asthma and physical activities - Sports and physical education are a major part of the school day. Having asthma won’t eliminate these physical activities. With the doctor’s advice, children with allergic diseases and asthma will be able to participate in any physical activity. Make sure that your child is taking asthma medications regularly. For controlling symptoms, medication can be administered using an inhaler.\n School pets - Furry animals can be a problem for children with allergies. Allergy or asthma symptoms can be triggered near a class pet leading to rashes, coughing, sneezing, runny nose, or difficulty breathing. :12929, 3,, 15 Merriweather Your child’s school must be informed about any allergies that your child might have.

How can allergies be diagnosed in children?
Apart from a physical examination and a complete medical history of your child, a child allergy specialist can order one of the following tests for diagnosing allergies:\n\n Blood test - This test is used for measuring the level of IgE antibodies to allergens in the child. RAST or radioallergosorbent test is a common blood test.\n Skin test - This test is used to measure the level of IgE antibodies for specific allergens in the child. Dilated solutions of specific allergens are used for pricking the skin’s surface. However, the skin test reaction doesn’t always mean that your kid has an allergy. Skin tests are more specific than blood tests and can give results in 15 minutes.\n Challenge test - In this supervised test, a small amount of allergen is either inhaled or taken by mouth. :12929, 3,, 15 Merriweather Apart from a physical examination and a complete medical history of your child, a child allergy specialist can order one of the following tests for diagnosing allergies:
