Answer 1

Yes: Yes. If you have not, you should see an allergist as well.

Answer 2

Healthy variety: Babies are great at stealing the nutrients they need from you while you are pregnant. It is extremely difficult to cause malnutrition in the baby based on mom's diet. Food allergies are unlikely to cause problems, just make sure you are getting a good variety of proteins, whole grains, veggies and fruits from the foods you can eat.

Answer 3

SUBSTITUTE FOOD: If you are allergic to any food, sustitute with another non allergic food to avoid malnutrition.

Answer 4

Possibly: Your allegies may cause edema and swelling of the mucus membranes causing inflammed sinuses.

Answer 5

Yes: Yes, for two reasons: allergic inflammation in the sinuses increases blood flow, so bacteria in the sinuses are better able to get the nutrients they need to grow. Second, sinus health is all about drainage - and the inflammation of allergies causes swelling that impairs drainage. Add the inflammation of a viral or bacterial infection, and the drain openings swell shut -> acute sinusitis.

Answer 6

Not really...: Acute sinusitis is due to an infection of your sinuses and your risk for this is not increased by the presence of asthma. However, if you get acute sinusitis, this could lead to an asthma exacerbation so see your doctor for treatment if you develop symptoms of acute sinusitis.

Answer 7

Yes it often: Occurs with the other two ... But not always. Best thing is to find out what causes your allergies (?Pets, dust , pollen etc. ) and avoid as best as possible. Your allergist can give you a nasal spray to keep your passages open and avoid sinus issues. Www. Acaai .Org.
