Changes in our environment and other causes have made allergies more prevalent in both children and adults. Although there are hundreds of triggers that might prompt an allergy attack, there are several common symptoms your child may experience.

With seasonal allergies, children may experience coughing, sneezing and watery eyes, while food allergies can prompt more serious reactions including swelling, cramping or difficulty breathing. To protect your child against dangerous allergic reactions, allergy tests can be performed to determine your child's allergic reaction to various substances.

For more information on allergic reactions, allergy tests, allergy shots, and food and medication allergies, see below.
