Young food allergies are prone to asthma

A study of 2 million patients said: Children with food allergies are at risk of developing adult asthma.

As reported by Quest Diagnostics , a leading company in the field of diagnosis and testing, allergic people are 20% more likely to develop asthma than normal.

Harvey W. Kaufman, senior medical director at Quest Diagnostics, said: " Allergies and asthma go hand in hand. The allergy to progress will cause asthma. The progress of this disease starts with eczema. Infection from the infant in the neonatal period, then the child is allergic to food when he or she is walking, has rhinitis when older and eventually turns into asthma ".

The study also found some allergenic foods at a certain age. Up to 37% of toddlers are allergic to milk, egg white; peanuts are the cause of most allergies for children aged 8-10; Young is 10 years old, very strange to wheat. In addition, environmental agents such as dust, ragweed, dogs, cats and mold also cause allergies.

Research shows the importance of diagnosis and treatment for patients with suspected allergies to food, especially children, to minimize the incidence of asthma patients later.
