In Coping with Childhood Allergies, Jill Eckersley discusses the allergies that most commonly affect children and gives sensible advice on how to cope with them, as well as what to do in the event of severe reactions including anaphylaxis.
The allergies and topics covered include: asthma; eczema and skin allergies; food allergy and food intolerances; nut allergy; hay fever and environmental allergy; and allergy testing and treatment.
