Medical experts are highlighting a significant rise in the prevalence of allergies and respiratory diseases among children and adolescents. These conditions have become a major chronic health concern, necessitating multidisciplinary care involving pediatricians, allergists, and specialists such as dentists and otorhinolaryngologists.

Respiratory issues, including asthma and allergic rhinitis, are noted for their potential impact on oral health, craniofacial development, and sleep patterns. The increase in these conditions is linked to environmental factors, specifically climate change and rising temperatures which alter pollen seasons, as well as atmospheric pollution. Furthermore, there is a documented increase in food allergies and the risk of severe reactions like anaphylaxis, prompting calls for improved prevention and emergency management.
