We offer up-to-date management and treatments for paediatric allergies.
The service treats children with all types of allergies. The most common type of patient we see are children with food allergies but we also see and manage children with airborne allergies as well as drug allergies.
We offer treatment and management including milk and egg desensitisation as well as immunotherapy against pollens and dust mites.
Services
We hold clinics in the West Midlands for children with simple and complex allergies. These would include food, airborne, drug and multiple allergies. We would also review, if appropriate, your asthma and eczema management to ensure your child is in good health.
You will be seen by one of our team and we will talk to you about your concerns, with regard to allergy.
Based on the information we will organise for a skin test to be performed on the same day or a blood test to be done.
Based on the results of this we will give you a personalised allergy management plan for both your child and if appropriate, the school/nursery.
You will also see a dietitian and a specialist nurse to ensure you understand how to avoid food triggers and also how to recognise and treat reactions, should they occur.
This does mean you may spend two to three hours in the clinic, but will leave fully informed of your child’s condition and appropriate management. Please allow for this to be at the hospital.
