London Allergy Consultants Leads Allergy Treatment Revolution With Groundbreaking Therapies For Children And Young Adults


(MENAFN- GetNews)

As rates of childhood allergies continue to climb, London Allergy Consultants is at the forefront of a treatment revolution, moving beyond symptom management to offer children and young adults a future of allergy freedom and tolerance.

The practice is pioneering the use of advanced desensitisation therapies, including Oral Immunotherapy (OIT) for life-threatening food allergies and Sublingual Immunotherapy (SLIT) for hay fever, dust, pet, and mould allergies. The centre also provides cutting-edge biological medications, such as Xolair, for the control of food allergies and related allergic diseases.

For decades, the standard advice for children with severe food allergies to peanuts, milk, or eggs has been strict avoidance and reliance on an adrenaline auto-injector. While essential for safety, this approach has left families living in constant anxiety. London Allergy Consultants is changing this narrative by being one of the UK's leading providers - in association with The Allergy Centre of Excellence - of paediatric Oral Immunotherapy (OIT).

This medically supervised treatment gradually introduces tiny amounts of the allergen, retraining the immune system to build tolerance and dramatically reducing the risk from accidental exposure.



“We are seeing children who reacted to the smallest amount of peanut now able to eat a handful without a reaction,” said Prof. George du Toit, Director and Founder of London Allergy Consultants.

Dr Ru-Xin Foong, Associate at London Allergy Consultants, added:“OIT is about more than just medicine; it's about giving children back their childhood. It's about sleepovers, birthday parties, family travel and school canteens without fear. We are passionate about making this highly specialised treatment accessible and safe for families across London and the UK.”

London Allergy Consultants is also one of the largest providers of immunotherapy for patients allergic to common environmental allergens, including dust mites, grass pollen, tree pollen, and pet dander.
