<strong>PEDIATRIC</strong> <strong>ALLERGY</strong> <strong>is</strong> a <strong>sub<strong>specialty</strong></strong><br />
<strong>within</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>specialty</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>allergy</strong>.<br />
Children are different from adults in many respects. Children cannot always express what <strong>the</strong>y<br />
feel and many parents are not familiar with what are <strong>the</strong> <strong>allergy</strong> symptoms that <strong>the</strong>y should look<br />
for, hence many allergic d<strong>is</strong>eases go unrecognized in children. Allergy can be very d<strong>is</strong>ruptive to<br />
children lives and to <strong>the</strong>ir lives as adults, by hindering <strong>the</strong> child’s ability to function as a normal<br />
adult in a competitive world.<br />
Allergic d<strong>is</strong>eases in children can lead to serious and long lasting consequences such as:<br />
• Frequent respiratory infections, bronchit<strong>is</strong> and pneumonias<br />
• Frequent ear, nose and throat infections<br />
• Unnecessary removal <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> adenoids and tonsils<br />
• Loss <strong>of</strong> hearing<br />
• Speech defects<br />
• Learning d<strong>is</strong>abilities<br />
• Poor performance and low grade in school<br />
• Importantly, asthma, which <strong>is</strong> <strong>the</strong> most common allergic d<strong>is</strong>ease <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> lungs in children,<br />
can and frequently does endanger <strong>the</strong> life <strong>of</strong> many children and alter <strong>the</strong>ir quality <strong>of</strong> life<br />
and learning ability in school.<br />
