Coping and support
By Mayo Clinic staffHaving a serious allergy or being the parent of a child with a potentially life-threatening allergy can be very stressful. Talking to others that share your situation can be helpful. Along with offering support and encouragement, they may also provide useful coping tips, such as how to effectively deal with school officials so that your child's medical needs are met. Ask your doctor if there are any support groups in your area, or contact the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America.
