Abstract
Allergy is one of the common Noncommunicable diseases (NCD). The solution to the problem lies in identification and proper medical advice. Preventing an exposure to allergen is better than suffering from the allergic consequences. This study was aimed to create medical awareness and educate parents and children regarding allergic conditions using a simple questionnaire. The results were tabulated and analyzed. Children who have allergic conditions can be advised to contact their physician before the start of academic year and inform the school nurse earlier. This will help in emergency situations with access to the right care at the right time.
