Allergic diseases are among the most common chronic conditions affecting children worldwide, significantly impacting their quality of life, school performance, and social development. The prevalence of pediatric allergies has been steadily increasing over the past decades due to environmental changes, urbanization, and lifestyle factors. Early detection and effective prevention are essential to reduce the severity of symptoms, prevent complications, and improve long-term health outcomes.Understanding the risk factors, including genetic predisposition, environmental exposures, and immunological mechanisms, is crucial for developing effective preventive strategies. This study is relevant because it evaluates current methods of preventing allergic diseases in children, identifies the most effective interventions, and provides recommendations for clinical practice and public health policies. Addressing pediatric allergies through prevention can reduce healthcare costs, improve children’s well-being, and contribute to healthier future generations.
