Pediatricians play a significant role in diagnosing and managing allergies. They conduct thorough histories and physical examinations to identify signs of allergic reactions such as hives, coughing, or nasal congestion. Diagnostic tests like skin prick tests or blood tests may be used for confirmation. For food allergies, pediatricians educate families about potential allergen sources and teach them how to recognize and manage allergic reactions. For allergic rhinitis, they may prescribe medications such as antihistamines, nasal corticosteroids, or decongestants to alleviate symptoms.
