Allergy Monitoring in Children
What is the Follow-up of Allergic Pediatric Patients?
Allergic Pediatric Patient Follow-up is a health management process that involves the identification of allergy-causing substances (allergens) in children and the implementation of prevention methods against these substances. It includes the diagnosis and treatment of conditions such as asthma, allergic rhinitis, food allergies and skin allergies.
How to Monitor Allergies?
As Metropol Health Group, we follow the following steps for our allergic pediatric patients:
- Allergy Tests: With a skin test, a small amount of allergen is applied to the child’s skin and reactions are observed. Blood tests are used to confirm the substances that cause allergies.
- Environmental Analysis: Environmental factors such as pollen and dust concentration are analyzed.
- Treatment and Prevention Plan: A treatment plan specific to the child’s allergic condition is prepared and shared with the family.
What are the Symptoms of Allergy?
Common symptoms that can be seen in allergic children are:
- Nose and Breathing: Persistent sneezing, runny nose and congestion; difficulty breathing or wheezing.
- Skin Itching, redness, blistering or rashes.
- Digestion Nausea, abdominal pain or diarrhea due to food allergy.
- Eyes Watering, itching and redness.
What are the Treatment Methods?
- Medication: Medications such as antihistamines, corticosteroids and bronchodilators are prescribed to relieve allergy symptoms.
- Allergen Prevention: Allergens are avoided through dietary adjustments and environmental measures.
- Immunotherapy (Allergy Vaccination): It is used to increase the body’s immunity to certain allergens and aims to reduce allergy symptoms in the long term.
- Regular Follow-up and Control: Regular check-ups are performed to monitor the course of the allergy and update the treatment plan.
Allergy Monitoring for a Healthy Life
Allergy monitoring is important to prevent allergic reactions that can negatively affect children’s daily lives and improve their quality of life. As Metropol Health Group, we offer a treatment plan tailored to the specific needs of each child and provide comprehensive guidance to families.
