Question 4

can a parents allergies be passed on to their children?

Accepted Answer

Not Exactly: What is passed genetically from parent to child is the propensity to develop atopy (such as eczema, asthma, allergic rhinitis, food allergies) but usually not sensitization to specific allergens which the parent is allergic to.  The exception, which is a controversial topic, is drug allergies, but this is usually dependent on metabolism of the drug which is inherited rather than the allergy.

Question 5

does a cough come with allergies in children?

Accepted Answer

Sometimes: But not all the time. Nasal allergies are not a frequent cause of a really bad persistent cough. In a child with allergies and a really bad cough (assuming no fever) I would be concerned about a reactive airway/asthma type condition. If the child also had eczema I would be even more concerned.

Question 6

can a parents' allergies to various foods be passed on to their children?

Accepted Answer

No: The condition of being allergic is certainly an inherited property.  Often, that tendancy is greater in children whose biological mother has allergies.  However, specific allergy is generally not thought to be inherited.  That is, a parent can be allergic to food, and their children allergic to pollen or insect stings.

Question 7

please describe a good source of calcium for children that have a milk allergy ?

Accepted Answer

Lots of Stiuff: Fortified soy milk for beginners.  Dark leafy greens like spinach, kale, turnips, and collard greens. Fortified orange juice. Sardines. Enriched breads, grains, and waffles.

Question 8

is it ok to give my 8yr old ibuprofin while he took a dose of cvs children allergy medicine an hour ago?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Just please give the medication according exactly to the dosing and weight guidelines on the package. The allergy medicine is an antihistamine. Ibuprofen is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory and anti-pyretic (fever reducer) medication.

Question 9

why do some children have allergies?

Accepted Answer

Hereditary: The ability to have allergies is hereditary.  If one parent has allergy, there is about a 40% chance of the child having allergy. If both parents are allergic, the chances increase to about 70%.  Allergy also requires exposure to an "allergen", like pollen, dust mite, molds or animals.  So if there is no exposure, no symptoms occur.

Question 10

how are children tested for allergies?

Accepted Answer

See below: They are tested the same as everyone else. They can have skin testing performed by an allergist, or blood work ordered by their primary care provider.
