Dealing with allergies can be difficult for children and allergy triggers must be defined so that they can be properly dealt with. When you’re able to tell when your child might be dealing with allergies, you can work with their pediatrician to determine the trigger and help get their allergies under control. It can be difficult to know when young children or infants are dealing with allergies since they aren’t able to communicate. Dr. Jag Ambwani and Dr. Dolly Ubhrani at Longwood Pediatrics in Longwood, FL, and serving Lake Mary, Altamonte Spring, Sanford, and Maitland, FL, can explain child allergies and how to spot symptoms in young children.

Understanding Allergy Symptoms in Infants and Young Children

When children are very young, it can be difficult for them to communicate when they aren’t feeling well. This is especially true in infants, and it can be difficult to determine what a child is dealing with. It’s important that you’re able to spot symptoms of child allergies and talk to your pediatrician for care as soon as possible.

Symptoms in infants and young children are similar to symptoms in older children, it’s just important that you’re able to identify them since your child won’t be able to tell you what’s going on. Common symptoms include:

• Watery eyes
• Stuffy nose
• Nasal congestion
• Chronic cough
• Wheezing
• Issues sleeping
• Red rash
• Itchiness

When your child is exhibiting these symptoms, it’s important to talk to your pediatrician about testing for allergies as soon as possible.
