What’s new in childhood asthma care—and what does it mean for everyday practice?

In this episode of Hope & Histamine: The Paediatric Allergy Podcast, we explore recent advances in paediatric asthma management, from inhaled treatments and personalised care to the evolving role of biologics in severe asthma.

We discuss key questions around asthma diagnosis, inhaler technique, treatment adherence and preventing exacerbations, alongside emerging approaches to help children achieve better asthma control.

Designed for paediatricians, GPs, nurses and other healthcare professionals caring for children with asthma, this episode brings an accessible clinical perspective to a rapidly changing field.

How does omalizumab compare with oral immunotherapy for treating multiple food allergies? In this episode of Hope & Histamine: The Paediatric Allergy Podcast, we explore OUtMATCH Stage 2, comparing omalizumab (Xolair) with omalizumab-facilitated multi-allergen oral immunotherapy (OIT).

We unpack the findings on treatment success, allergic reactions, side effects and treatment discontinuation—and explain why tolerability matters when interpreting the results. What do these findings mean for children with peanut allergy and other food allergies, their families, and the clinicians supporting them?

Join us for an accessible, evidence-based discussion of anti-IgE therapy, food allergy desensitisation and personalised treatment decisions. Whether you’re a paediatrician, allergist, trainee or parent, discover what the OUtMATCH trial adds to the evolving conversation about multifood allergy treatment.

Can eating more eggs and peanuts during pregnancy and breastfeeding reduce a baby’s risk of developing food allergy?

In this episode of Hope & Histamine: The Paediatric Allergy Podcast, we examine the PrEggNut trial, a large randomised study involving more than 2,100 pregnant women whose babies had a strong family history of allergic disease. Researchers compared a maternal diet rich in eggs and peanuts with a standard-intake diet from pregnancy until four months after birth.

Despite greater maternal exposure, the high-intake diet did not significantly reduce egg or peanut allergy in infants at one year of age. We explore the study’s findings, its strengths and limitations, and what the results mean for maternal diet, breastfeeding and current approaches to preventing food allergy in children.

A concise, evidence-based discussion for parents, paediatricians, allergy professionals and anyone interested in pregnancy nutrition and infant allergy prevention.
