Abstract: . . .  those are not helpful in managing symp- toms, the child should see his primary care physi- cian or an allergist for further evaluation. If the symptoms are so severe that medications provide only partial relief, allergy shots may be helpful in symptom relief. Be sure to educate everyone who cares for your child about the allergies . This includes teachers, sitters, daycare providers, grandparents, etc. They need to know what to do in case of an emergency, or how to give special medications the child may need. The good news is that help is available and symptoms usually improve with treatment. Most children with allergies live their lives just like any other child. It is important for symptoms to be controlled, so they can participate in normal activities with their friends.  . . .
