The rising trend of long-standing cough, wheezing, breathlessness, recurrent pneumonia, asthma, sore eyes, skin rash or eczema, and food allergies in children has become a significant concern. The developing bodies of children make them more vulnerable to these allergic disorders. Both indoor and outdoor pollution, along with other factors, contribute to the increasing prevalence of these conditions.
If left untreated, these allergic disorders can persist into adulthood, significantly impacting the quality of life. Moreover, these conditions affect the entire family rather than just the individual suffering from them. However, with appropriate management and early intervention, allergies can be controlled, and individuals can experience a symptom-free life.
To address these issues, the Division of Pediatric Pulmonology at Sir Ganga Ram Hospital has established a dedicated Pediatric Allergy Clinic for children and adolescents suffering from allergic disorders. Under the supervision of an allergy specialist, a general OPD will be conducted every Thursday from 12 noon to 01:00 PM in R. No. G 10 at ward 6, ground floor.
The Pediatric Allergy Clinic offers specialized techniques for early diagnosis, including skin prick testing, which helps identify specific allergens triggering allergic reactions. Additionally, the clinic provides definite immunotherapy, a targeted treatment approach that aims to desensitize individuals to allergens and reduce their allergic response.
By attending the Pediatric Allergy Clinic, children and their families can benefit from comprehensive evaluation, accurate diagnosis, and personalized treatment plans. The clinic aims to alleviate symptoms, improve the overall well-being of children, and enhance the quality of life for both the affected individuals and their families.
If your child is experiencing allergic symptoms such as cough, wheezing, breathlessness, skin rash, or other related conditions, we encourage you to avail the services of the Pediatric Allergy Clinic. Early intervention and appropriate management can help control allergies and provide long-term relief from symptoms.
