Yes. Skin prick testing is safe and well-tolerated from age 2 onwards — and is particularly valuable in children because early identification of allergens allows early avoidance and immunotherapy initiation, which may reduce the progression from allergic rhinitis to asthma (the atopic march). Sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT drops) is particularly suitable for children because it is administered at home without injections. At Pulmovista Clinics, I have extensive experience with paediatric allergy assessment and management — with age-appropriate testing panels and child-friendly consultation approaches. I provide written allergy action plans specifically formatted for school nurses and parents.
