Pediatric Mold Allergy

Pediatric mold allergy refers to an allergic reaction that children can have when they breathe in mold spores, tiny particles produced by mold. Mold grows in damp places and can be found indoors and outdoors. In allergic children, exposure can lead to symptoms like sneezing, runny nose, itchy eyes, and asthma attacks. The immune system mistakenly sees mold as a threat, triggering these reactions. Managing mold allergy involves avoiding moldy environments, keeping homes dry, and possibly using medications or allergy treatments as recommended by a healthcare professional.
