CHILDCARE: SYMPTOMS OF ALLERGY
Parents often describe children who are subsequently found to be sensitive to foods and chemicals, or to have multiple allergies and sensitivity, as being very restless, demanding, irritable, difficult to manage children, with unpredictable moods, tempers quick to flare and readily tired.
Other low-level symptoms which subsequently clear up when allergens or troublesome foods and chemicals are identified and avoided can include a constantly runny nose, persistent catarrh, and blocked ears. Children do pick up colds and viruses easily at school or elsewhere, but colds and viruses have a clear onset, and tail off and go away. No child should have the symptoms of a head cold permanently or for weeks on end.
Glue ear, and ear, nose and throat infections, and tonsillitis, are not always caused directly by allergy or sensitivity, but they can be aggravated and sustained by them. These conditions often clear up spontaneously when allergy or sensitivity is dealt with.
Constant urination, waking at night, general aches and pains, puffiness, excessive hunger or thirst, mood swings, sudden excitability, are all low-level symptoms which often accompany allergy and sensitivity in children.
Hyperactivity in children has been linked in some cases to food and chemical sensitivity.
