Pediatric Allergy & Asthma Patients

Serving Connecticut and Rhode Island children who suffer with allergies and asthma.

What Should You Expect When You Bring Your Child to See Our Allergists

You and your child will be greeted by our friendly staff and we will go through their pediatric medical history, allergy symptoms, any current medications your child is taking, and your family’s general allergy history. The allergist will then examine your child. When necessary during the evaluation, other procedures may be utilized to make sure we find the cause of any pediatric allergy symptoms. If asthma is a consideration, the allergist may perform a breathing test (known as spirometry) which typically involves having the child blow into an airflow measuring device.
