Ongoing allergy management for your child
A confirmed allergy isn’t a full stop — it’s something your family learns to live with confidently. Good management is what turns a frightening diagnosis into a routine part of life: birthday parties, daycare, school camp and all.
Many childhood food allergies are also outgrown. Regular specialist review means that when your child’s allergy changes, your plan changes with it — and foods come back into the diet as soon as it’s safe.
Why Dr O’Reilly
Specialist care, not a fifteen-minute appointment
Dr Elize O’Reilly (BMedSci, MBBS(Hons), MHL, FRACP) is a paediatric immunologist and allergist and a general paediatrician — the specialist in the room at every appointment. Care at Little Reactions is unhurried, evidence-based and explained in plain language, and your GP stays in the loop with letters you can both read.

How reviews work
Management starts with knowing exactly where your child’s allergy is up to:
- Scheduled reviews with repeat skin-prick or blood testing where results would change the plan
- Supervised food challenges when the numbers suggest an allergy may have resolved
- A fresh look at the whole child — growth, eczema, asthma and hay fever are managed together, not in silos
What management includes
Practical, written, and shared with everyone who cares for your child:
- ASCIA action plans written and renewed, with adrenaline injector training for parents, grandparents and carers
- School and childcare readiness — the paperwork, the plan, and the confidence to hand your child over
- Dietary guidance so avoidance never means missing out nutritionally
- A clear pathway back to us when something changes or a reaction happens
