Childhood allergies are becoming increasingly common in the UK. Statistics show that approximately one in sixteen children under six develops food allergies. Additionally, one in four children experiences eczema, one in five suffers from asthma, and one in ten is affected by hay fever. Over the past decade, there has been a significant rise in these conditions, especially peanut allergies, which disproportionately impact children.
Food allergies, in particular, pose severe risks of anaphylaxis outside hospital settings and can be life-threatening, affecting a child’s normal development and daily experiences. When combined with eczema, asthma, and hay fever, these conditions can significantly reduce a child’s quality of life, lead to school absenteeism, and hinder academic performance.
Food allergies, ranging from mild to severe reactions, can significantly disrupt daily life. At Paediatric Diagnostics, we specialize in accurate diagnostic testing to identify food allergies. Our personalized treatment plans manage dietary restrictions and prevent allergen exposure, promoting overall well-being.
Allergic rhinitis (hay fever) and asthma can severely impact a child’s quality of life. Through specialized allergy testing, we identify triggers such as pollen, dust mites, and pet dander. We offer advanced treatment options, including immunotherapy and comprehensive symptom management strategies, to alleviate symptoms and improve respiratory health.
Also known as atopic dermatitis, eczema can be worsened by allergens from foods or the environment. Our Allergy Consultants at Paediatric Diagnostics conduct comprehensive evaluations to manage eczema allergies. We work closely with families to identify triggers, recommend effective skincare routines, and prescribe medications to relieve itching and inflammation.
During your visit to our Allergy Clinic, several investigations may be conducted, including:
This test measures levels of IgE antibodies to specific food allergens by detecting their presence in the skin, such as reactions to peanuts or eggs.
Specific IgE blood tests (previously known as RAST tests) measure levels of IgE antibodies to specific food allergens in the blood.
You will receive advice on managing allergic diseases, including the correct use of inhalers, nasal sprays, and eczema management. If necessary, our Allergy Consultant will provide training on handling allergic reactions, including using antihistamines and adrenaline auto-injectors. You will also receive guidance on avoiding certain foods while ensuring your child maintains a balanced diet.
