How Parents Can Make a Preliminary Assessment of Whether Their Child Has Allergies

● If the child had eczema on the skin when young and frequently develops itchy bumps on the body, the child may have an allergic constitution.

● Frequently rubbing the eyes, picking the nose, having a runny nose, and sneezing; repeated sneezing is an even more obvious symptom.

● The child has dark circles around the eyes.

● The child has red eyebrows when crying.

● Excessive sweating, hyperactivity, night terrors, and susceptibility to colds.

● The child coughs after running or laughing loudly.

● After going to sleep at night, the child tends to sweat during the first half hour to two hours.

● When walking or going upstairs, the child does not want to continue walking and easily becomes short of breath.

● Family medical history. If the father, mother, or siblings have a history of allergies, the child’s likelihood of developing allergies is much higher.
