Child Got Rashes. Should I Go For Food Allergy Test?
thanks for the questions. It owuld be interesting to identify the particular cause of the rashes. This could be food as well as another environmental cause hen he visits you (dust, something in the room, particular pollens or sheets or something).
An allergists opinion is important in evaluating his case. Blood tests like a complete blood count shall show increase in eosinophils and an increase in immunoglobuline E to confirm the diagnosis. Negativity of these tests shall therefore require another source of these rashes. A keen allergist investigation could actually be important in determinant the particular allergen, if its food, the particular food category. Avoidance of this particular food could be appropriate. However, saying its the quality of the food causing the allergies is a bit vague and really not helpful in helping the child
I suggest you take an appointment with an allergist.
thanks and best regards,
