Meet the school head teacher and the health teacher
When your child has severe allergies, please contact his school. Meet his class teacher and health teacher to inform the child about allergies with allergies . Communicate with the school to see if the school has formulated a special lunch or other allergies. Then, develop a plan that helps the child avoid triggering allergies while still being able to fully participate in various activities, including extracurricular activities and school bus rides.
formulate an allergic reaction action plan
In the case of an allergic attack, every second is important . Every child (possibly) using prescription adrenaline should have a contingency plan. Work with your child’s doctor and school health teacher to make a plan. This plan contains photos of your child, specific allergy warning signs and symptoms, and treatment instructions. Place the copy in your child’s classroom or in the teacher’s office. Also make sure your child has prepared emergency medications for emergency situations before entering school.
Understand the school's adrenaline reserve
Understand the school's adrenaline reserve, If the school does not have one, discuss with the school's head teacher or health teacher, whether you can provide the adrenaline your child needs and save it in the health teacher for your child's emergency situation. The medicine should be kept by the teacher, and unless the child has grown up to be able to carry it on his own, no matter where they go, it should be kept by adults. Describe the doctor’s instructions to the class teacher or school doctor. Check the effective date of the drug frequently.
Talk with your child about allergies
Work with your child to study the triggers of allergies. For food allergy , tell them not to share food, cutlery or containers and wash their hands before and after eating. For insect bites, teach them to wear long sleeves, trousers and shoes outside and try to eat indoors. If outdoors, cover the food and use a straw.
Teaching warning signals

Make sure to understand, the school teacher targeted response plan
Once your child has signs of allergies, the school teacher knows how to deal with it correctly, and report when to use adrenaline for your child under the guidance of a doctor, Call 120 and start emergency first aid. School staff also understand not to leave children with (allergic) reactions alone.
