Food Allergy Management in Children

Food allergy management in children involves identifying allergens, avoiding them, and being prepared for accidental exposure. Parents should read food labels carefully and communicate with schools and caregivers about the child’s allergies. An emergency action plan, including the use of antihistamines and an epinephrine auto-injector for severe reactions, is essential. Educating the child about their allergies is important, enabling them to make safe food choices. Regular follow-ups with a healthcare provider can help monitor the allergy and any possible changes over time. Awareness and preparedness are key to ensuring the child’s safety and well-being.
