Can a cat allergy in a child be managed?

My family just adopted a cat but realized that our 10-year-old son is allergic. Is there anything we can do to keep the cat? Can a cat allergy in a child be managed?

There are several ways to manage pet allergy. There are measures to minimize dander exposure at home, medications to control the symptoms and of course there are different immunotherapy options - drops or shots. You should see an allergist to go over each option and devise a treatment plan that will be best for your child.
