Guide for Common Allergies
- Whether severe or moderate-make sure your child’s allergies are known and listed
- If any medications or inhalers are used make sure to inform the caregiver whom is watching your child of directed dosage and frequency
- Always include your Physicians contact information when leaving your child with someone just in case of an emergency
- List any allergy triggers ahead of time so they are known
- If at any time there are any changes in medications be sure you inform the caregiver of changes too
No matter if a food allergy, dairy, outdoor seasonal, insect, nuts, skin or certain products, always be aware of situational elements at your child’s daycare, school, field trip, a friend’s birthday party, and more that could directly affect a negative reaction! Being proactive and keeping your friends and family aware of certain triggers can ultimately save a loved one’s life!
Common Allergies : Social Interactions
Allergies don’t have to spoil the participation in specific activities for your child or family. Be prepared in advance and on top of planned social interactions and activities before common allergies take place. A little precaution on your part can make a big difference in battling common allergies for you and your family. At your next Pediatric visit make sure you address any allergy concerns you may have with the Doctor and if allergy testing may be necessary for your child.
