Will my child outgrow their allergy?
Children who are sensitive to milk or egg tend to lose their allergy over time. Allergy to peanut, tree nuts, fish and seafood tends to persist. There is some suggestion, however, that the rate of persistence may be lower than previously thought.
How can I tell if my other children are affected?
It is generally recommended that siblings avoid the food in question until the age of three years. They can be skin tested at one year of age or younger and you should discuss this with your allergist.
