Dr. Colin Knight | Tips To Help Your Kids Manage Their Seasonal Allergies
Allergy season isn’t fun for anyone, but it’s especially difficult for children. With spring here and summer around the corner, many kids are excited to be able to go outside and enjoy the warm weather. Unfortunately, many of them may return from their outdoor adventures only to suffer from common seasonal allergies such as Hay Fever. As parents, it can be tough to watch our kids suffer, especially when there isn’t a cure-all for these types of things. While we don’t have a permanent solution for allergies, there are things you can do to help your kids suffer a little less.
FIGURE OUT THE CAUSE
If your child has persistent allergies, the first thing you’ll want to do is talk to their pediatrician about getting a test. Allergy tests are a good way to determine the exact cause of your child’s symptoms. It could be asthma, or it could just be seasonal allergies. Your pediatrician may do the test themselves, or they may recommend you to an allergist who specializes in allergies in children. By determining the exact cause of the allergy, you’ll be able to figure out the best treatment possible.
