School is right around the corner, and it’s important to have a plan to address allergens that linger at school. Whether it’s on the playground or in the classroom, school presents its own challenges with regards to allergies. But, we believe your child should focus on his education instead of on his school-related allergy. That’s why we’ve created a list of seven simple tips to help your child succeed. Take a look:
7 School-Related Allergy Tips
Unfortunately, it’s impossible to eliminate all school-related allergies. But, you can help prepare your child for school by considering the following allergy-related tips:

- Contact an allergist to diagnose the allergy (if not already diagnosed)
- Create an anaphylaxis action plan
- Discuss how and when to use an epinephrine injector
- Inform your child’s teacher of the allergy
- Take a tour of the school to find potential triggers
- Talk to your child about his allergy
