Paediatric Allergy Appointments

Please see information above but in addition please bring any fresh fruit or vegetable to which you think your child is allergic and any other foodstuffs EXCEPT for nuts, sesame, wheat, egg, milk and all airborne allergens such as grass and dust which are provided. We skin prick test in almost all children as it is virtually painless and you can get the results in clinic. Please tell your children that it does not involve any needles. Children must be off their antihistamines for 48hours ( for piriton) and 1 week for all others before skin prick testing. This is essential. If their symptoms are such that they simply can’t come off or if they have needed an emergency rescue dose then a blood test will be done instead. The results of this are not immediately available and will require a follow up appointment to be made.
