Allergy Clinic

Allergic rhinitis, commonly known as hay fever, affects many children, causing nasal irritation due to allergens like pollen or pet dander. Symptoms include sneezing, stuffy or runny nose, itching, and watery eyes. While not usually serious, untreated allergic rhinitis can impact a child’s daily life and academic performance. Treatment options include avoiding allergens, using medications like antihistamines or nasal corticosteroids, and in severe cases, allergy shots. Consulting a pediatrician or allergist is crucial for proper diagnosis and management. With effective treatment and allergen avoidance, children with allergic rhinitis can lead healthy, symptom-free lives.
