3. Treatments Depend on the Allergy
Serious Allergies
Your child’s pediatrician
may refer your child to an
allergist who specializes in
children’s allergies. In
these cases your child may
need to carry a special
“pen” to inject him or
herself with epinephrine in
case of a serious attack.
Environmental Allergies Other Allergies
Use common sense to help
your child avoid triggers. If
your child is allergic to a
beloved pet, for example,
limit the child’s time with
the pet.
Most other allergies can be
controlled by avoiding the
offending substance as
much as possible. Over-
the-counter and
prescription medications
can control symptoms in
case of accidental
exposure.
