A member asked:
I have never had allergies before but for the last 5 months i have had a cold of some sort off and on. can you develop allergies?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Allergies can go away or come over the lifetime. See an allergist - they might do tests and prescribe. Allergy can also switch from one item to another and from one system response to another. They are tricky. Hope you get a handle on it.
