Allergies in children

We provide comprehensive diagnosis and treatment services for a variety of allergic conditions and immune system disorders found in kids.

Allergies occur when the body’s immune system overreacts to non-harmful substances. These can be any number of things children come in contact with on a daily basis, such as dust, pets, food, pollen and more. In some cases, the immune system itself is to blame for symptoms. We treat medical conditions such as:

  • Asthma
  • Coughs
  • Eczema
  • Food allergies
  • Hay fever
  • Hives
  • Insect bites
  • Medication allergies
  • Seasonal allergies
  • Unusual and frequent infections
  • Frequent need for antibiotics and often in close sequence
  • Poor wound healing

As part of Atlantic Health Children's Health, physician services are provided through Atlantic Medical Group.
