Does Your Child Have a Cold or Are Allergies Setting In?
Statistics show that 20-percent of school-age children suffer from allergies. According to the National Institutes of Health, allergies account for two million missed school days each year, and on any given day more than 10,000 children are absent from school due to troublesome allergy symptoms.
It is often difficult for parents to distinguish between colds and allergies in children because many of the symptoms are similar. Misdiagnosing the problem due to lack of awareness about allergy symptoms can result in unnecessary suffering and interfere with a child's ability to concentrate.
