What does a pediatric allergist do?

A pediatric allergist is a doctor specializing in diagnosing and treating allergic conditions. They have the skills to make a diagnosis based on the clinical picture and test results.

What causes allergies?

Allergens do not form a single homogeneous group. They have no common chemical structure or composition. Allergens can come from plants or animals, or even be simple chemical compounds. In short, allergens can be anything. There are several groups of allergens:

Inhalant allergens
Food allergens
Contact allergens
Drugs causing allergies
Insect venom allergens

When should we seek an allergy consultation?

When allergy symptoms appear in various forms, such as:

hay fever with watery eyes, excessive sneezing, and throat irritation (inhalant allergens),
itching, burning skin, and hives (contact allergens),
persistent diarrhea, shortness of breath, migraines, drowsiness, and inflammation of the digestive system (food allergens).

If any of these symptoms occur, a visit to an allergist is necessary.

During the consultation, the patient can expect:

help in identifying the allergen causing the reaction,
referrals for necessary tests (skin tests, serological tests, or various exposure tests) and a discussion of the results,
planning a comprehensive treatment,
education on proper nutrition and hygiene,
assistance in alleviating troublesome symptoms.
