Pediatric Allergy is a rapidly evolving field that spans food allergy, respiratory allergy, skin disease, anaphylaxis, and complex multimorbid presentations. Children and families are increasingly affected by allergic conditions that influence nutrition, school participation, sleep, and quality of life. This session provides a comprehensive overview of mechanisms, diagnosis, and practical management strategies across the allergy spectrum, with a focus on real-world clinical decision-making. Healthcare professionals often look for a specialised Pediatrics Conference to interpret new evidence, guidelines, and therapeutic options in the context of daily practice.

A central theme is building structured approaches to common allergic problems such as food-induced reactions, atopic dermatitis, allergic rhinitis, asthma with allergic triggers, and insect or drug allergy. Participants will review how genetic susceptibility, environmental exposures, infections, microbiome changes, and lifestyle factors interact to shape allergy development. The session will examine when to suspect IgE-mediated reactions versus non-IgE pathways, how to interpret skin-prick tests and specific IgE results, and how to avoid overdiagnosis that can unnecessarily restrict diets or activities.

The session emphasises creating patient-centred pediatric allergy care pathways that combine accurate diagnosis with clear education and shared management plans. Case examples will demonstrate how to design emergency action plans for anaphylaxis, choose appropriate adrenaline auto-injectors, and support families in recognising early symptoms and responding swiftly. Participants will explore strategies for introducing allergenic foods safely, counselling on label reading and cross-contact, and collaborating with schools, childcare providers, and community organisations to prevent reactions while maintaining inclusion.

Participants will also consider health-system and equity perspectives: disparities in access to allergy services, long travel distances for specialist care, cost barriers to medications, and variability in school preparedness. Practical discussion will cover the role of telehealth for follow-up, group education sessions, and digital tools that help families track symptoms, exposures, and medication use. The session will underline the importance of clear documentation and communication between primary care, emergency departments, and allergy clinics, so that each reaction becomes an opportunity to refine prevention and management plans. Ultimately, the goal is to equip clinicians with frameworks that can be adapted to any setting, ensuring that children with allergic disease receive timely diagnosis, safe treatment, and supportive environments at home, in school, and in the community.
