Allergies

An allergic reaction is an abnormal reaction to protein substances that occur naturally.

An allergic reaction can lead to nettle rash, asthma or hayfever. Nowadays, children can be almost allergic to anything and if your child is suffering, it is worthwhile having an allergy test where the doctor can check to see what allergies make your child suffer most. Then these substances can at least be avoided where possible. The degree of allergic reaction can differ considerably based on the individual and the allergen. For example, allergies to nuts can be quite serious. The most popular allergies involve pets, hayfever, house mites and food allergies.

What to Do

Consult your doctor to conduct tests. Medication is freely available to manage most allergies but discuss with your doctor first.
