CHILD ALLERGOLOGY
What does a paediatric allergist deal with?
At the allergy clinic, we perform a full examination and treatment of children with food allergies, hay fever, asthma, eczema, urticaria, and with an uncertain allergic reaction and anaphylaxis. At the clinic, it is possible to identify allergens that cause diseases, usually by a blood test, sometimes by a skin test. Following diagnosis, we also explore the most ideal therapeutic options.
Consultation is also available on immunotherapy, which is currently the only causal treatment for long-term allergy symptom relief (primarily in respiratory and insect venom allergies).
