Dr Margaret (Maggie) Li

During the appointment, I will explore the details of what has been going on for your child and their history. Whether your child is suffering from eczema, food allergies, hayfever or other allergic concerns, I can provide expert opinion on diagnosis and management.
If indicated during our consultation, we offer skin prick testing to help diagnose any food or environmental allergies

Sometimes, if it is still not clear after our consultation and testing, then we also offer supervised oral food challenges to help clarify what is going on for your child.

For some children with food allergy, oral immunotherapy may be an option. We'll discuss whether it's appropriate for your child as part of your consultation.

We also offer immunotherapy for severe allergic rhinitis (hayfever) due to dust or pollen allergy.
Please contact us if you cannot find an answer to your question.
Please bring your child's Medicare card, doctor’s referral letter and blue book to your first appointment. If your child has any previous skin prick tests, blood tests or relevant investigations, hospital discharge letters, specialist letters then please bring these along also.
Please expect the initial appointment to take at least an hour, so plan accordingly. Bring along some toys and safe snacks to keep your little one entertained!
The first appointment will be around an hour in duration. We will go through your child's history and symptoms in detail. If indicated during our consultation, then skin prick testing may happen during the appointment time as well.
Our clinic will let you know the timing of when to stop any oral antihistamines or medications prior to appointment so that it does not interfere with the skin prick test results.
Please bring some safe snacks and distraction for your child as it can be a long process for them.
