Parents today have a lot of information at their disposal, and we encourage people to be well informed. But information overload is a real thing today and it’s important that we all are aware that it happens and know where to draw the line.
With allergies on the rise today, parents are aware of the signs of allergies in children. Unfortunately, allergy symptoms in children aren't easy spot. While a severe case of food allergy can send one to the emergency room, the milder ones are often mistaken as a one-time occurrence or something else altogether – like sneezes, rashes, watery eyes, etc. If you have an inkling that your child may be allergic, it’s a good idea to take him to the doctor. However, it’s even better to have some information to give the doctor so that he can help diagnose your child better. Here are some things to keep in mind.
