Pediatric Allergy and Immunology

Pediatric Allergy and Immunology is a branch of medicine that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of allergies and immune system disorders in children. Allergies can include reactions to foods, pollen, pets, or medications, while immune system disorders may involve issues such as asthma or autoimmune diseases. Specialists in this field work to identify triggers, manage symptoms, and help children lead healthy lives by developing individualized care plans. They also educate families about prevention and management, ensuring children can participate fully in everyday activities without discomfort or danger from their allergies.
