Common Q&A about Paediatric Allergy Service
Our FAQ section is designed to address common questions you may have, from how our treatments work to what you can expect during and after your session.
Our team is always available to provide additional support if you need more personalised guidance, ensuring that you feel informed and confident every step of the way.
Common indicators include eczema flares, persistent congestion, wheezing, hives, vomiting soon after food, abdominal discomfort, and reactions after pet or pollen exposure. Chronic or seasonal symptoms often benefit from formal assessment.
Skin prick testing can be performed safely from infancy. It is commonly used in babies, toddlers and older children.
Skin prick testing is highly sensitive for immediate-type (IgE-mediated) allergies and gives results on the day. It is considered first-line for food, pollen, dust mite and animal dander allergies.
The test uses a tiny lancet that only scratches the surface of the skin. Most children tolerate it well, describing it as “itchy” rather than painful.
Skin prick test results are available within 15 minutes during your appointment. ALEX²/ISAC blood tests typically return results within 2–3 weeks.
A positive result means the immune system recognises an allergen, but it does not always mean symptoms will occur. Interpretation is essential to avoid unnecessary food restrictions.
Yes. Identifying triggers such as dust mites, pets, pollens or foods can help optimise eczema and asthma management and reduce flare-ups.
Skin prick tests are first-line for most children. ALEX²/ISAC tests are helpful when multiple allergies are suspected or when skin testing is not possible.
Antihistamines must usually be stopped for several days before testing. You will receive clear guidance when booking.
Yes. The process combines clinical history, testing, and risk assessment. If further confirmation is needed, supervised oral food challenges can be arranged.

Our clinicians will carry out a full assessment to ensure an accurate diagnosis and appropriate care.
Does your child have frequent sneezing, itchy or runny nose?
These symptoms may indicate allergic rhinitis or environmental triggers like pollen, dust or pet dander. Assessment and testing help identify the cause so effective management can begin.
Is your child experiencing skin rashes, hives, or eczema flares?
Persistent or recurring itchy skin conditions can be linked to food or environmental allergies. Specialist testing and personalised plans can reduce symptoms and improve comfort.
Does your child wheeze, cough, or have breathing issues around allergens?
Respiratory symptoms triggered by allergens like dust mites or pollens need careful evaluation to guide avoidance strategies and treatment.
Are there digestive reactions like tummy pain or vomiting after eating?
Food allergies can cause gastrointestinal symptoms. Paediatric allergy evaluation helps pinpoint specific food triggers and safe dietary plans.
Does your child have swelling in the lips, face, or throat after exposure?
Swelling with exposure to certain foods or triggers may suggest a serious allergic reaction. Professional assessment ensures proper guidance and safety planning.
Are symptoms affecting sleep, school, or overall wellbeing?
