Comprehensive Allergy Assessment, Skin Prick Testing & Same-Day Management Plans
Allergies are increasingly common in children and can affect feeding, skin, breathing, sleep, school attendance and overall well-being. The Paediatric Allergy Service at The Health Suite Leicester provides clear answers through structured assessment, safe and reliable testing, and personalised management plans. Families can access a one-stop pathway where consultation, skin prick testing and interpretation are completed in a single visit.
Paediatric allergies are increasingly common and can affect a child’s skin, digestion, breathing, sleep, and overall well-being. They often present as eczema flares, hives, wheezing, congestion, or reactions to specific foods or environmental triggers, such as pollen, dust, or pets. Early identification and management are crucial to reducing symptoms, preventing complications, and improving quality of life. With proper assessment, testing, and personalised management plans, children can safely manage their allergies while maintaining a balanced diet, a healthy environment, and an active lifestyle.
Advanced Allergy Testing: ALEX² / ISAC
For children with multiple suspected allergies, unclear triggers, or chronic eczema with potential polysensitisation, we offer ALEX² or ISAC molecular allergy testing. These tests assess up to 300 allergens and allergen components, helping identify precise sensitisation patterns.
Refer to our ‘Preparing for Your Blood Test’ information before your appointment at The Health Suite.
