Allergies and asthma are on the rise. Asthma affects close to five million children, and known cases rose by 40 percent between 1990 and 1994. But advances in the diagnosis and treatment of asthma and allergies are helping many children who suffer from these disorders.
A new book, The American Academy of Pediatrics Guide to Your Child's Allergies and Asthma: Breathing Easy and Bringing Up Healthy, Active Chidren, edited by Michael J. Welch, MD, FAAP, (Villard /Publication Date: June 9, 2000/$12.95) is an invaluable resource for parents and caregivers who need to cope with the challenges of these sometimes serious conditions.

In many cases they are year-round problems requiring continual management, involving the child and his or her parents, caregivers and pediatrician in a team approach.

Filled with the latest information and advice about triggers, symptoms, diagnosis, prevention and treatment, the book covers such topics as: - Symptoms associated with allergies and asthma
- The many triggers of asthma and the different ways it can manifest itself
- How to prevent attacks
- Understanding and choosing medications
- Appropriate sports and physical activities for children with asthma
- Food allergies
- Allergies that can be fatal
- Possible ways to delay the onset of allergies and asthma
- How environmental and lifestyle factors affect asthma, and how to minimize the culprits
- Teaching your child the basics of self-care
In addition, this book includes in its appendix several essential sources of information, including a list of hidden sources of food allergens, sources for more information about allergies and asthma, sources of allergy and asthma products, and helpful publications on this important children's health issue.
As with all AAP Guides, the layout makes information easy to find, with diagrams, highlighted tips, and tables to help parents raise healthy, active children.
