Signs of Childhood Allergies
Here are some signs that your child may have allergies:

• Runny nose—With allergies, nasal discharge is usually thin, clear, and watery.
• Sneezing (often three or more times in a row)—Although some colds can cause sneezing, it is much more common with allergies.
• Irritated, red, itchy, or watery eyes.
• "Allergic shiners"—Dark, swollen bags under the eyes. (This is probably caused by nasal congestion.)
• Allergic salute—Frequent, upward rubbing of the nose that can last more than 2 weeks. This rubbing can lead to an "allergic crease" or line at the bridge of the nose.
• Mouth breathing—Kids with allergies often breathe through their mouth because they have trouble breathing through their nose.
• If both parents have allergies, the child's chances of developing allergies are 66%.
• If only one parent has allergies, the child's chances of developing allergies are 50%.

If you are confused by your child's symptoms, or if the symptoms are prolonged, you should contact your healthcare professional for guidance.
