Pediatric Asthma and Allergy Services

The expert pediatricians of AGC Pediatrics treat a variety of childhood illnesses and conditions, including asthma and allergy. Learn how to identify the causes of these respiratory conditions, and find out what treatment options are available.

Causes of Childhood Allergies

Some of the most common causes of childhood allergies include:
  • Indoor allergy triggers, such as dust mites that live in bedding, carpeting, etc.
  • Animal dander from pets such as cats and dogs.
  • Indoor and outdoor molds.
  • Seasonal allergens from trees, grasses, and weeds.

Diagnosis and Treatment of Pediatric Allergies

In order to properly diagnose childhood allergies, AGC Pediatrics offers painless non-invasive allergy testing. The test itself lasts only 30 minutes, and your child's results will be ready for review within 15 minutes.

In most cases, the best way to combat childhood allergies is to avoid the cause. Here are just a few tips to help minimize your child's exposure to known allergens:
  • Keep doors and windows tightly closed during pollen season.
  • Avoid your child's exposure to household pets.
  • Keep your home clean and dry to avoid build-up of dust and other indoor allergens.
AGC Pediatrics also offers a variety of allergy medications that can help to control your child's allergy symptoms. To learn more, speak with one of our pediatricians about safe and effective treatments.

What Causes Childhood Asthma?

Children with asthma have inflamed airways that easily become swollen and sensitive when exposed to inhaled irritants. Outside elements such as cigarette smoke, rigorous exercise, and even dust can aggravate the condition, causing the airways to tighten and constrict.

Diagnosis and Treatment of Childhood Asthma

The medical staff of AGC Pediatrics can prescribe a variety of long-term medications to help control the symptoms of childhood asthma in the long-term. To learn more, call (706) 625-5900, or view our article on Childhood Asthma.
