We understand the unique challenges that allergies and related conditions can pose for children. Our compassionate and experienced team offers a wide range of services specifically designed for our young patients:
- Oral Food Immunotherapy (OIT): A groundbreaking treatment that can significantly reduce the risk of allergic reactions to specific foods when started early in life. We will carefully evaluate if OIT is a suitable option for your child and guide you through the process.
- Allergy Shots (Subcutaneous Immunotherapy): Available for children 4 years and older, allergy shots can help desensitize your child to environmental allergens such as pollen, dust mites, and pet dander.
- Safe Drug Challenges: Conducted in a controlled medical setting to accurately diagnose or rule out suspected medication allergies.
- Gentle Skin Allergy Testing: A safe and effective method to identify specific environmental and food triggers. We take extra care to make this process as comfortable as possible for children.
- Lung Function Testing (Spirometry): Helps assess lung health and diagnose conditions like asthma.
- Specialized Drug Injection Therapies: Administration of necessary medications for specific conditions, under careful medical supervision.
