Food Allergies
Food allergies are becoming more common with approximately 8% of children suffering from a food allergy.
The symptoms are variable depending on what type of allergy your child has. We are experienced in differentiating different types of allergy and non-allergic symptoms.
We use investigations that are recommended in line with national guidelines and will provide you with education, training and a bespoke allergy action plan.
​
At CACNI, it's important to us that parents and patients feel equipped with the knowledge and skills necessary to give you the confidence to manage your child's allergy everyday.
Eczema
This is a common inflammatory skin condition which affects up to 1 in 5 children.
Poorly controlled eczema has a detrimental effect on children's quality of life. Eczema is uncomfortable and often affects the quality of patient's sleep, impacting their day to day activities and the family as a whole.
​
The team at CACNI will provide a bespoke allergy skin plan for your child to help gain control of the inflammation, improve their symptoms and ultimately, improve their quality of life.
Urticaria & Angioedema
Urticaria and angioedema are often mistaken as an allergic reactions to “something”, when in fact they are allergic conditions in of themselves.
Our skilled consultant will be able to differentiate this from other allergic diseases and provide you with an individualised management plan to help control these troublesome and worrying symptoms.
