This complete A Z guide to the effective home treatment of children's allergies contains all the latest information and informed advice that you need to manage your child's symptoms and to help him or her understand and control their own allergies. Written with sympathy and professional understanding gained from their own and their children's severe allergies, Drs. Gershwin and Klingelhofer offer in simple, jargon-free language the best and most up-to-date counsel on how to deal effectively with asthma, hay fever, eczema, food allergies, contact dermatitis, hives, headaches, rhinitis, latex allergies, and more. Here concerned parents will learn how to identify their child's allergic symptoms, how to distinguish these from nonallergic symptoms, the best strategies for avoidance, and what to do about them. If your child suffers from allergies and you want to know more about these often cruel afflictions and what can be done to avoid or treat them, Taking Charge of Your Child's Allergies is just what your doctor would order!
