How to recognize and treat allergies in a child without stress

Allergies are one of the most common health problems in children. They can significantly affect the quality of life of both the child and their parents. And quite often, allergy symptoms go unnoticed or are confused with the manifestations of other diseases, such as ARVI or a cold.

In our AirDOC clinic, we have created a specialized children’s office, where we help children and their parents with care and professionalism in solving these issues. And most importantly, the treatment takes place in the most pleasant, stress-free atmosphere, which is perhaps the most important thing for kids!

How to detect allergies?

Early detection of allergies is crucial in treating and preventing complications. As mentioned earlier, allergies can have similar symptoms to other diseases, which is why they are rarely detected in the early stages.

If you notice symptoms in your child such as prolonged nasal congestion, sneezing, watery eyes, skin rashes, or a cough that doesn’t go away for a long time, this may be a signal indicating an allergy.

A common myth among parents is that allergies can only occur to certain foods or due to seasonal factors, such as an allergic reaction to ragweed. However, this disease is quite insidious, and it can be caused by various factors: dust, animal hair, mold, household chemicals, medications, etc. Some people may be allergic to a regular medical plaster. Therefore, it is impossible to determine the causes on your own. In the children’s office of the AirDOC clinic, a comprehensive examination is performed to identify allergens that provoke symptoms in each specific child.

AirDOC Children’s Clinic: Comfortable Environment and High Level of Professionalism

Visiting a medical facility can be a stressful event for a child, especially when various medical procedures are being performed, such as blood sampling or injections. The main goal of creating our children’s office AirDOC was to create all the conditions so that every visit to our doctors is as comfortable and enjoyable as possible for young patients.

That’s why our office doesn’t look like the medical facility most children are used to. It’s decorated with bright, positive pictures and a waiting area where kids can play and have fun before their appointment.

To reduce pain during procedures, we use a special gadget in the form of a bee – Buzzy. It combines cold and vibration for pain relief. In this way, the child stops being afraid of injections and perceives them as part of the game. Also, during various medical manipulations, VR glasses are used, which immerse children in a virtual world and distract them from the procedures.

Our nurses are true professionals in their field! They know how to find an approach to each child, making the procedures as quick and painless as possible. We constantly receive positive feedback from parents who note the attentiveness and care of our staff. And after the procedures, small sweet gifts await the children for their courage.

Treatment methods at AirDOC

The main task of our doctors is not just to eliminate the symptoms, but to find the causes and cure the allergy. And this is helped by a comprehensive approach: consultation with a doctor, determination of the necessary tests, collection of anamnesis. Then a second consultation with a treatment plan and the treatment itself are prescribed. Of course, you need to understand that not all allergies are treatable. And in this case, the child is prescribed supportive treatment, which can alleviate the condition of the baby.

In general, ASIT therapy is used to treat allergies. This is one of the most effective methods of combating this disease. There are several forms of ASIT: injectable, tablet and spray. This method allows not only to reduce symptoms, but also creates long-term protection against allergens. 

Allergy is not a sentence! Thanks to the achievements of modern medicine, there are various effective treatment methods that allow a child to lead a healthy and active life without restrictions. In the children’s office of the AirDOC clinic, all conditions have been created to ensure that the treatment of young patients is comfortable, painless, and, of course, effective. 

You should not postpone a visit to an allergist, because timely treatment is the key to your child’s health. In our clinic, we develop individual treatment programs that meet the needs of each child. We do everything in our power to ensure that each visit is positive and your baby feels confident and protected. We are waiting for you with your children at AirDOC!
