Peanut allergy is common in children, and management has traditionally relied on strict dietary avoidance. In recent years, peanut oral immunotherapy (POIT) has emerged as a successful treatment option. POIT aims to raise the threshold of tolerance to peanut, thereby reducing the risk and severity of reactions following accidental exposure. Treatment involves gradual dose escalation to a maintenance level, which must be continued alongside a strict avoidance diet. Literature suggests that POIT is well tolerated in younger children in terms of safety and efficacy with the possibility of being able to eat peanut more freely in certain individuals.

This talk will discuss inhaled allergens that are present in the home such as house dust mites, indoor moulds, animal dander, pests and specific types of pollen brought into the house.  Also how these inhaled allergens link to other pollutants and viruses within house dust or present in the air inside and outside the home.  It will outline the other environments which should be considered through daily exposure and how this affects co-existing allergies. Backed up by real life examples and high-quality research evidence from the UK and elsewhere, it will outline effective ways to reduce exposure alongside medication. 

Parents of children with allergies often have understandable concerns about vaccine safety, particularly when there can be conflicting information online and from other sources.
