Allergy Questions to ask your Doctor


Is this the immediate type of allergy that can cause life threatening reactions in some people? If so, when do we get a test?
What exactly are they allergic to? Is it everything with egg? Is it all nuts, or just some?
Is there anything else they might be allergic to that we don’t know about?
Does this or do these allergies always get highlighted on ingredient labels? What does “May contain” etc mean? Do you have any written advice on what foods we might need to avoid or be careful of?
How do I deal with restaurants /takeaways/parties/Halloween?
How do I deal with school/nursery? How do they get training?
Could we be referred to a dietician?
What allergy medicines do I need? Do we need an adrenaline autoinjector pen? How do you use it?
What is anaphylaxis and is my child at risk?
What do we do if they have another reaction? When do we need to phone for an ambulance or advice?
Can we have a written plan with a copy for school/nursery? [Eg from BSACI website].
Can we have a travel letter for going abroad?
Is this something they are likely to grow out?
If your doctor can’t answer these questions to your satisfaction, you should ask to see a specialist allergy clinic.

We have the answer for you 😊

Key reasons to see a paediatric allergist:

Infant eczema is often the first sign of a tendency toward allergy. The paediatric team is able to effectively manage this distressing condition, but also proactively diagnose and manage food allergies which are often associated with eczema, ensuring they don’t affect your baby’s overall health.

Allergic conditions in older children can include asthma and hay fever, as well as eczema and food allergy. Understanding how each of these allergic conditions present and interact with each other is key to their effective management and the cornerstone of good,holistic, allergy care for children.
