Allergies
Back to school can bring a lot of anxiety to parents of children with food allergies. As one in every 13 Canadians suffers from a significant food allergy, Dr. Christine McCusker is available to answer questions on what parents should tell their child as the school year begins.
, Professor of Pediatrics, Ã山ǿ¼é and Division Director, Pediatric Allergy, Montreal Children's Hospital, Ã山ǿ¼é Health Center
“The most important thing for parents of children with food allergies is to make sure your child is comfortable talking about his/her allergies and that he/she knows what to do if symptoms develop. The school also should have a plan of what to do in case of emergency and together they should foster a team approach for allergic reaction prevention and management.â€â€”Dr. Christine McCusker
