Allergies can disrupt children’s lives in so many ways, from chronic skin irritation and breathing problems to life-threatening reactions to foods, medications or environmental allergens. Problems with the immune system, whether present at birth or acquired later, make it difficult for children to fight infections, while autoimmune conditions cause the body to start attacking itself.

Mercy Kids allergy and immunology experts specialize in identifying, treating and preventing illnesses related to allergies, asthma and immune deficiencies.

Managing Pediatric Allergies

Mercy board-certified pediatric allergy and immunology physicians know that no two children are alike.
