Paediatric Allergology (Clinic)
Specialized Center
Our specialized knowledge derived from experience and continuing education abroad enables us to treat children with allergic diseases holistically, but also their families. Our Clinic is one of the few structures in Northern Greece specializing in Paediatric Allergy, offering solutions to children and their families.
Immediate and Ηolistic treatment
The inseparable relationship of the Paediatric Allergology Clinic with the Paediatric Department, both in terms of human resources and infrastructure, enables us to deal with all incidents that may arise. We can attend in emergency cases an emergency case of an acute allergic reaction and, in cooperation with the Hospital's paediatricians, provide immediate and personalized care to our Patients.
Personalized Care
Every child has different needs and we should not give the same instructions in every situation. We, for our part, inform the family and the child about all treatment options, and they in turn choose the treatment that best suits their needs.
Paediatric - Allergology is one of the newest pediatric specialties, which was born in recent years due to the rapid increase in children with allergic diseases. Now, with the specialized knowledge we have, we can treat these children as well as their families holistically.
Who is it about
Our Clinic can take care of children from the first infancy up to the age of 16. We deal with the whole range of childhood allergic diseases, such as:
• Food allergy
• Allergic rhinitis
• Asthma
• Atopic dermatitis
• Drug allergy
• Urticaria, whether acute or chronic
Diagnosis | What to Expect
Many parents very easily attribute any symptom they will see in their child to a possible allergic disease.
Our goal is either to rule out the existence of an allergic disease, or to confirm it when it exists. For every child who visits our clinic:
• we receive a complete allergy history
• the objective examination is carried out and
• in order to make a diagnosis, it may be necessary to carry out skin procedures.
It is a painless and well tolerated procedure by children, which gives us the results within 15 minutes and practically raises sensitivities to a variety of allergens.
* In the case of children with allergic asthma, spirometry is also possible. After the diagnosis has been made, the child leaves the clinic with a comprehensive action plan, so that he and his family feel confident that they can manage a possible allergic reaction in the future. We always inform parents about all the therapeutic methods available to us, and more specifically that of immunotherapy, which is gaining more and more ground in recent years.
In case of emergencies
As a rule, the Clinic operates with scheduled appointments, but since there is no shortage of emergencies, these children can be addressed at any time to the Emergency Department of the Paediatric Department of the Hospital and from there we undertake, together with the paediatricians, their management and guidance.
“We must not forget that in the cases of these children their quality of life, but also that of their family, is disturbed to a considerable extent. These families live daily with the stress of a possible allergic reaction and cannot enjoy simple activities, like most children.
For our part, we help them feel safe through the organized action plan, we inform them about all the therapeutic possibilities we have, and we see which one best suits their situation.”
