Describe about the Secondary Prevention - Food Allergy?
Secondary allergic preventive measures will focus on:
- Initiating prospective surveillance of infants, young children and adults for expression of sensitization, including sensitization to certain foods (e.g., egg, peanut, milk) and aeroallergens (e.g., dust mites, cat dander, pollens, moulds etc.),
- Implementing indoor environmental control measures prior to disease expression,
- Using pharmacologic therapy and/or immunologic modulation in patients with allergic disorders (e.g., atopic dermatitis) to prevent subsequent expression of other disorders (e.g., asthma), and
- Avoiding environmental irritants (e.g., tobacco smoke, air pollutants).
