Food Allergy in Child |
Childhood allergies are a common
and growing problem in the United States. In recent years, the number of
children with allergies to food, pollens, latex and other allergens has
grown dramatically. Any food can cause an allergic reaction, but 90% of all
food allergies are caused by one of the following: wheat, eggs, milk,
peanuts, tree nuts, soy, fish and shell fish.
The FDA estimates that 2 percent of adults and up to 8 percent of young
children have some form of food allergies. Each year, about 30,000 people
need to be rushed to the emergency room and 150 people die. Food allergy
symptoms can range from mild to life threatening and may include, hives,
itching, swelling of the face, lips, tongue and/or eyes, diarrhea, vomiting,
cramps, itching and tightness of throat, difficulty breathing, wheezing, in
extreme cases, anaphylactic shock.
The younger you are and the larger the amount of allergen you're exposed to,
the greater the risk of becoming allergic to it, so children are at the
highest risks. The exact reason behind the rise of allergies in children is
unknown. But a growing body of evidence suggests that a combination of
genetic and environmental factors is at the root of most childhood
allergies.
Remember that your pediatrician can prescribe the medications needed to treat
an allergic reaction and should be consulted as soon as you are concerned
that your child may have allergies.
