Allergy Paediatric Panel in Faridabad

Allergies are an overreaction of the immune system to substances that are typically harmless. These substances are known as allergens, and they can include dust mites, pollen, animal dander, food, and insect venom. Allergic reactions can vary from mild to severe and even life-threatening in some cases.

The Allergy Paediatric Panel test is a diagnostic tool used to identify allergens that trigger an allergic reaction in children above the age of 10.

Symptoms of Allergies

Allergic reactions can cause a range of symptoms in children. However, these symptoms can vary depending on the allergen and the individual's sensitivity. Some common allergy symptoms to look out for in children are:
- Sneezing
- Runny nose
- Itchy or watery eyes
- Skin rash or hives
- Swelling
- Shortness of breath
- Chest tightness
- Abdominal pain
- Diarrhoea

It is important to note that symptoms can be immediate or delayed, and in some cases, it may take hours or days for them to appear.

Test Procedure

The Allergy Paediatric Panel test requires a blood sample. A healthcare professional will use a needle to draw blood from a vein in your child's arm. The process is quick and should not cause much discomfort.

The blood sample collected will then be sent to a laboratory for analysis using the Allergy Paediatric Panel test. The sample will be screened against a panel of allergens and evaluated for an allergic reaction. Results will be provided within seven days.

Treatment of Allergies

The treatment for allergies may involve medication, avoidance of allergens, or immunotherapy. In some cases, a combination of these approaches may be necessary to manage symptoms. Allergy Paediatric Panel test results can help healthcare professionals create an effective treatment plan that is specific to the allergens that trigger the allergic reaction. By identifying the cause of allergies, patients can avoid exposure to the allergen or receive allergy shots to build up immune tolerance over time.
