What Your Doctor May Not Tell You about Children's Allergies and Asthma: Simple Steps to Help Stop Attacks and Improve Your Child's Health FROM THE PUBLISHER
Allergic reaction and asthma attacks among children have increased 95 percent since 1980! One in thirteen school-age children has asthma, and the greatest rise in the incidence of allergies and/or asthma is occurring among preschool-age children. Now two renowned physicians on the front lines of pediatric allergy and immunology explain why these chronic diseases have become so prevalent and offer sound strategies to help children (and their worried parents!) breathe easier.
FROM THE CRITICS
Library Journal
Parents whose children suffer from allergies and asthma will find a wealth of medical experience and advice here. Ehrlich and Chiaramonte (certified by both the American Board of Allergy and Immunology and the American Board of Pediatrics) show how to recognize different types of allergies in children, identify the ten things that parents do to worsen symptoms, and advise on how alternative remedies can be used to treat allergic and asthmatic conditions. While the text is demanding, the authors strive to reach a consumer's literacy level with brief anecdotal examples that clarify chapter principles. Resources in the three appendixes include a glossary of medical terms, a quick guide to allergy and asthma medications, and a list of web sites, organizations, and further reading. Highly recommended for all public libraries and consumer health collections. (Index not seen.)-Cleo Pappas, La Grange Memorial Hosp. Lib., IL Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information.
