Dr Shankar Anand is a paediatric allergist and immunologist based in Norwest, NSW. You can find the practice at Suite 304, Q Central, 10 Norbrik Drive, Norwest NSW 2153.
Dr Anand’s work is for kids. That means appointments are usually focused on what’s happening in a child’s body and what it might mean for day to day life. In many cases, families come in because their child has ongoing symptoms that seem to flare up at certain times.
Allergy testing is a big part of the care. Testing can help explain common triggers like dust, pollen, pets, and certain foods. It can also bring clarity when parents aren’t sure if the issue is allergy related, skin related, or something else that needs a different plan.
Dr Anand also looks after childhood asthma and breathing symptoms. If a child is coughing often, wheezing, or getting short of breath, the goal is to make a practical plan that fits with school, sport, and normal routines. Over time, good management can help reduce flare-ups and make symptoms easier to handle.
Immunisation shots for kids are another service offered at the clinic. Vaccines are an important part of staying healthy, and it can help to have a clinician who understands children’s allergy and immune concerns when questions come up.
When it comes to treatment for common childhood allergies, the approach is usually about finding the right balance for the child and their family. That can include advice on avoiding triggers, planning for symptom days, and choosing treatments that are the right fit for age and severity. At times, symptoms can change as children grow, so plans may need small adjustments along the way.
Research and clinical trials information is not listed here. If that matters for your child’s situation, it’s a good idea to ask the clinic team during your appointment. Education details are also not shown in the profile, but Dr Anand’s focus is clearly on paediatric allergy and immune care, with practical support for families in Norwest and the wider area.
