Toddlers

When They Are Too Young For Shots.

Ear infections every month, eczema in the elbow creases, a nose that never dries up. Toddlers can be treated, and the earlier the better.
How treatment works
Food allergies in children

Two Kids Per Classroom.

School lunches, birthday cupcakes, Halloween, bullying. Food allergy follows a child everywhere. Treatment can change that.
How treatment works
The atopic march

Why Early Matters.

Allergic disease often progresses: eczema as a baby, food allergy as a toddler, then hay fever and asthma in school years.Each stage reflects the same overreactive immune system. Treating the allergy young, while the pattern is forming, can interrupt the march. Waiting for a child to outgrow it works for some milk and egg allergies and rarely for pollen, dust or pets.Allergies affect concentration, sleep and school performance, and children with food allergies are bullied at striking rates. Relief is not only medical.

Questions

Children And Allergy Drops

How do I know it is allergy and not endless colds?Colds last a week or two and bring fever and aches. Allergy lingers for months, has no fever, and brings itchy eyes. Recurring ear infections are a classic allergy sign in toddlers.
Will my child outgrow it?Milk and egg allergies often fade by the mid-teens. Pollen, dust and pet allergies are more likely to grow than disappear. Only about 20 percent of hay fever remits fully.
Does the serum taste bad?It is a mild saline-based liquid. Most children take it without complaint, especially when it becomes part of a routine.

The scale of it

Food Allergy In Children Rose 50 Percent.

Between 1997 and 2011 childhood food allergy rose by half, and peanut allergy tripled. One child in thirteen now has a food allergy.A 2013 study found nearly a third of food-allergic children aged eight to seventeen had been bullied over it, and half had not told their parents. Add the anxiety of every shared snack and the distraction of symptoms, and school performance suffers.Families spend an estimated 25 billion dollars a year managing it.

The Checklist That Works.

01
Paperwork and planAn allergy action plan on file, two epinephrine injectors with the nurse, and a signed note on what the child may eat.
02
Talk to the adultsTeacher, lunch staff, bus driver, coaches. Ask about classroom parties and where the injectors live during field trips.
03
Teach the childAge-appropriate scripts: no trading food, ask what is in it, tell an adult if the mouth tingles. Empowerment, not anxiety.
Treatment path

Treat It While They Are Young.

Children often outgrow milk and egg allergy on their own. Drops can speed that, and treat the ones that would not fade.The food serum covers milk, egg, wheat, soy, tree nuts and dozens more foods. Daily drops at home build tolerance over months while the child keeps avoiding triggers, and reintroduction happens with the prescribing physician. Pediatricians can prescribe through our program.
