An infant who is experiencing a number of these symptoms is likely to be suffering from allergic reactions. Parents are advised to have their child examined by a pediatric allergist or family physician. The detection of allergies has improved Tommy's health and his family life. His temper has improved and his recurrent infections and fatigue have significantly declined. Although typically an adult will be aware of his or her allergies before having children, there are times when the discovery process is reversed.
Adults often attribute their medical complaints to the stresses of work and family life.
But symptoms such as fatigue, headaches, joint pain, and abdominal pain in adults can also be caused by allergies. After the detection and treatment of their child's allergies, parents may realize that the medical problems they have had for years may be caused by an allergic problem similar to the one their child is experiencing. Although a family history of allergies can not be prevented, there are steps a parent can take to ensure that his or her child does not suffer needlessly from allergies. Careful attention to a child's medical complaints can save the parent and child from years of unnecessary pain and anxiety. All rights reserved.
