Pediatric Allergy and Asthma Care

Parents with children suffering from allergies or asthma often find their task is twofold: to find appropriate pediatric medical care as well as help their children understand what is happening.

At Oak Brook Allergists, we understand that people of all ages suffer from distracting, painful, and bothersome allergy and asthma symptoms. Our board-certified, fellowship-trained allergy and immunology specialists take special care of our young patients. In fact, our entire team takes a friendly, personable approach when dealing with children. You may be surprised to find your child actually looking forward to doctor visits at Oak Brook Allergists.

Help children
understand
what may be
bugging them

Children who are unafraid of their condition and understand the treatment process are much more likely to take an active role in their own healthcare as they grow. What follows are common allergens that may help children understand what may be bugging them – and how the kind and caring professionals at Oak Brook Allergists can help your child eat, breathe, and live a happier, healthier life.

Dust Mites
