Here are Dr. Mitchell&#39;s tips:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Talk with the school staff.  Provide the teacher and the school nurse with a brief written history of your child&#39;s allergies.  You need to include specific information about symptoms and medications.<\/li>\n<li>Check out the classroom environment.  You can always ask that your child be seated away from possible sources for allergy triggers like chalkboards and windows.<\/li>\n<li>Do not forget to ask about pets.  Some teachers keep class pets and need to know if your child is allergic to pet dander.<\/li>\n<li>Keep an eye on the lunch menu.  Most children can bring a weekly menu home.  Give school officials information about what foods could be dangerous to your child.<\/li>\n<li>Create an action plan for treatment if an allergy attack occurs. Work with the school nurse and staff and make sure they know what medicine your child needs.<\/li>\n<li>Provide emergency contact numbers for you, your allergist, and pediatrician.<\/li>\n<li>Communicate with your child and make sure that older children always have their medicine or EpiPen with them.<\/li>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Every Sunday in USA Weekend, contributing editor Dr. Tedd Mitchell writes an article called &#8216;HealthSmart&#8217;.
