When I saw the allergist I asked if I were allergic to the sun and he said no.
The allergist will consider the child's age and general health status in deciding to start allergy treatments.
The allergist will also inquire as to the child's environment (indoor and outdoor) and related symptoms to decide if testing is necessary.
A pediatric allergist can diagnose the specific cause of the allergic reaction and provide the correct allergen extracts.
The allergist may decide to conduct skin testing on a child to determine the specific allergen that is causing a reaction in the child.
