Allergies can come and go throughout childhood to adulthood. At KIDZ Medical Services, our board-certified pediatric otolaryngologists are experts at diagnosing and treating all types of allergies in babies, children, and teens:
- Angioedema (swelling under the skin)
- Cosmetic allergies (health and beauty aids, hair dye)
- Dermatitis (diaper rash, skin rashes, contact dermatitis)
- Drug allergies (reactions to Penicillin, antibiotics and other medications)
- Eczema
- Environmental allergies (dust, mold, pollen, etc.)

Allergic reactions vary widely in children, from mild symptoms such as watery eyes or sneezing, to life-threatening symptoms such as difficulty breathing or anaphylactic shock. That’s why it’s important to recognize an allergic reaction and seek treatment for your child.
At KIDZ Medical Services, our pediatric ENTs can perform allergy tests such as the skin prick technique or oral food challenges and begin treatment for allergies immediately. Treatment may include allergy shots (traditional immunotherapy) or prescription medications.
