Seek Help for Your Child’s Allergies

If you’ve noticed that your child has sensitive skin, runny eyes or nose, wheezing, or a persistent cough, visit TRI-Valley Pediatrics, INC in San Ramon, CA also servicing Pleasanton, CA.

How Do I Know If My Child Has Allergies?

It can be hard to tell if your child is suffering from allergies, especially if they only complain about throat pain and stuffy noses around cold and flu season. However, many children who suffer from seasonal allergies may also have other sensitives that they hide well. Be on the lookout for these symptoms in your children:

• Sneezing
• Runny, stuffy, or itchy nose
• Itchy, watery eyes
• Dry or rashy skin
• Persistent coughing, wheezing, or difficulty breathing

When you take your child in on suspicion that they have allergies, your doctor will perform an evaluation and consider their medical history to decide if testing is necessary. If the doctor decides to perform a test, they will most likely perform a skin test that can provide fast, accurate results for all your child’s sensitivities.

Don’t wait until your child’s allergies become severe. The pediatricians at TRI-Valley Pediatrics, INC can help determine the best course of action for your child’s allergies in San Ramon, CA, and Pleasanton, CA.

What Kind Of Treatment Is Available?

Treatment for your child’s allergies will depend on the type and severity. Some children may also suffer from allergy-induced asthma, or are at risk of severe reactions like anaphylaxis. In these cases, more extreme treatment may be called for.

Some of the treatments that are available for allergies in children include allergy drops, shots, inhalers, nasal spray, and tablets. Your doctor may also help you develop an action plan for children with allergy-induced asthma and life-threatening allergies.
