I FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

YOUR CHILD'S EDUCATION MAY BE LIMITED BY ALLERGIES & ASTHMA

(SAN DIEGO) Allergies may interfere with childhood education, according to Dr. Bruce Prenner ' M.D., of Allergy Associates Medical Group. "Often children with allergies and asthma concentrate poorly. They may feel cranky, listless and disinterested. In fact, childhood allergies may cause problems that last a lifetime, " said Dr. Prenner.

"It's natural for children to have some difficulty adjusting to their new school schedules following summer vacation, but parents should watch for warning signs." He cites allergy symptoms such as runny nose, itchy, watery eyes and sneezing as indications that children may be having problems. Ignoring such signals can limit a child's ability to learn. "There's good news, however," notes Dr. Prenner. "Safe treatment is available, including non-sedating medications which can give families the edge on allergies this school year". In addition to providing opportunities for clinical research, Allergy Associates Medical Group offers free information on how to control allergies and asthma.

The Research Center at Allergy Associates Medical Groups is a recognized leader in allergy treatment and asthma research and treatment. Founder Dr. Bruce Prenner is certified by the American Board of Allergy & Immunology and the American Board of Pediatrics. He also serves as Associate Clinical Professor at the University of California (Department of Pediatrics, Clinical Immunology and Allergy). He is a popular guest on radio and television.
