Allergies

Back to school can bring a lot of anxiety to parents of children with food allergies. As one in every 13 Canadians suffers from a significant food allergy, Dr. Christine McCusker is available to answer questions on what parents should tell their child as the school year begins.

, Professor of Pediatrics, 91˿Ƶ and Division Director, Pediatric Allergy, Montreal Children's Hospital, 91˿Ƶ Health Center

“The most important thing for parents of children with food allergies is to make sure your child is comfortable talking about his/her allergies and that he/she knows what to do if symptoms develop.  The school also should have a plan of what to do in case  of emergency and together they should foster a team approach for allergic reaction prevention and management.”—Dr. Christine McCusker
