How to Manage Your Child's Allergies

Just like adults, children can suffer from seasonal and environmental allergies. If they are not old enough to take some of the popular over-the-counter medications available on the market, your little ones’ sneezes, coughs and rashes can make them – and you – miserable.

At AGC Pediatrics, we offer parents practical and proven solutions to manage their child’s allergies so they feel comfortable:

·        Schedule a visit to AGC Pediatrics to learn about our non-invasive, pain-free allergy testing options for your child. Call us at (706) 625-5900 or contact us online to schedule an appointment at one of our offices in Calhoun or Cartersville.

·         Talk to a member of our professionally trained staff or one our board-certified physicians about allergy relief for children. We offer several safe allergy medications that will reduce your child’s symptoms.

·         If pet dander is the triggering allergen, reduce your child’s interaction and proximity to family pets.

·         Vacuum regularly to keep dust and other allergens in your home to a minimum

·         If your child’s allergies are seasonal, keep allergens such as pollen at bay by closing doors and windows during the height of the season.

Allergy Treatment and Testing at AGC Pediatrics

When you schedule an appointment at AGC Pediatrics to learn about managing your child’s allergies, we will explain what causes the reactions and outline the most feasible treatment and testing options.

The 30-minute, non-invasive allergy test from Allervision involves first cleaning an area on the child’s back with an alcohol swab, then applying antigens to the skin using a small device. The temporary sensation is similar to little pokes. A total of five areas of the back are tested.

Results come back in about 15 minutes. There may be some discomfort and possible itchiness at the testing site, but no pain.

Help Your Kids Find Relief from Allergies at AGC Pediatrics

Whether you opt for allergy testing or need treatment solutions, let the attentive, caring staff at AGC Pediatrics equip you with the knowledge you need to make the best decisions about managing your child’s allergies.

To schedule an appointment with one of our board-certified pediatricians, please call (706) 625-5900 today.
