Tips for Keeping Child’s Allergies in Check

It Takes a Village

Between going to school, having play dates with friends or spending the night at grandma’s house, there are lots of places your children go that may seem outside your control. Get everyone who has regular contact with your child involved by talking about your child’s allergies and letting them know what they can do to help.

Wash Away Allergens

Children may not remember to tell you they were exposed to allergy triggers—from petting the bunny at school or rolling in the leaves at a friend’s house. To help reduce allergen exposure, have them make it a habit of washing their faces and hands when they come home. ¹

Open Up

It’s important to talk openly with your children about what may trigger allergies so they know what to look out for and avoid—from dust in classrooms to their best friend’s cat. 

Keep Track Of Allergy Symptoms

Children's allergy symptoms may include runny nose, sneezing, itchy eyes, watery eyes and itchy throat. Track your child’s symptoms so you can better understand the cause of all that sniffling and sneezing.

Sleep Smart

Allergies can affect sleep, cause daytime fatigue and impact school performance. Make sure your child is getting the rest they need to help them be at their best. Then, do the same for yourself!

Be Prepared

Be sure to keep allergy medicine for children on hand for whenever and wherever symptoms may strike.
