Best Orlando Pediatric Allergists & Immunologists

Pediatric Allergy & Immunology Information:

A pediatric allergist/immunologist finds and treats allergies and immune system problems within children. One should see a pediatric allergist and immunologist if their child has allergies or their immune system wrongly reacts to things that are usually harmless such as pet dander, pollen, dust, mold spores, insect stings, food and medications. This reaction may cause their body to respond with health problems such as asthma, hay fever, hives, eczema (a rash), or a very severe and unusual reaction called anaphylaxis.

Pediatric allergists/immunologists generally provide treatment for the following:

• Asthma
• Hay fever (allergic rhinitis)
• Sinusitis
• Eczema (atopic dermatitis)
• Hives (urticaria, welts)
• Severe reactions to foods, insect stings, and medications (anaphylaxis)
• Immune disorders that lead to the following:
• Frequent sinusitis, pneumonia, or diarrhea
• Thrush and abscesses that keep coming back
• Severe, unusual infections

Pediatric allergists/immunologists diagnose allergic conditions by using special testing and newer forms of these tests are almost painless. They also administer medication, allergy shots and allergy reaction tests.

Pediatric allergist and Immunologists are a sub specialty of internal medicine.
