Food Allergy in Children

Food allergies in children involve an abnormal immune response to specific foods, with common triggers including milk, eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, soy, wheat, fish, and shellfish. Symptoms can range from mild, such as hives and itching, to severe, including anaphylaxis, a life-threatening reaction. Diagnosing food allergies often involves a combination of medical history, skin tests, and blood tests. Prevalence is on the rise, and strict avoidance of allergenic foods is the primary management strategy. Children with food allergies may require an emergency action plan, including the use of epinephrine in case of severe reactions. Schools and caregivers play a crucial role in ensuring a safe environment for allergic children. Ongoing research explores preventive measures, such as early introduction of certain foods, to reduce the risk of developing allergies. Managing food allergies in children necessitates vigilant awareness, education, and proactive measures to ensure their safety and well-being.
