Family history is the best indicator. For example, if both parents have allergies, there's a 50 to 80% chance the child will get similar allergies. If only ONE parent has allergies, there's a 20 to 40% chance it can be passed down. If there was a sibling with allergies, there's a 15 to 20% chance. Even if parents are not allergic to anything, there's still about 10 to 15% chance that the child may develop allergies.

Actually we can test your baby's allergy as young as 6 months old. Hence, it's good to do that to address any potential allergies at a much younger age to avoid unnecessary bad allergic reactions.

Biasanya susu lembu memang boleh mengakibatkan alergi. Susu kambing pun sama je Puan. Jangan ingat dia ada janggut, susu dia lain daripada susu lembu. Sebenarnya composition susu kambing ni hampir 90% sama je macam susu lembu. Kalau alergi, alergi juga. Kalau susu berasaskan tumbuhan mungkin kurang menyebabkan alergik. Contohnya susu soya, badam, beras dan lain-lain. Tapi pastikan anak puan betul-betul tak ada alergi terhadap soya atau badam.

Yes, asthmatic kids can develop eczema. However it is usually more common to see children with eczema to develop asthma later. The more chronic the eczema, the higher the chance to develop asthma. So why somebody gets asthma and later develop eczema is not entirely known but the potential was there right from the beginning.

Boleh jadi juga ni. Sedikit sebanyak alergi adalah disebabkan oleh faktor genetik di mana ahli keluarga yang mempunyai masalah alergi. Alergi yang diturunkan secara genetik selalunya melibatkan alergi makanan, tak kiralah jenis apa.

Oh, ekzema memang boleh berkaitan dengan alergi sehingga 30% (kemungkinan). Ekzema ialah penyakit kulit yang kronik dan ada keradangan. Dalam 30% tu, alergi mungkin ada concurrently dengan ekzema. Maksudnya dua-dua penyakit ada.

Kebanyakan masa asma menjadi lebih teruk disebabkan keadaan persekitaran. Contohnya cuaca extreme iaitu terlalu sejuk atau terlalu panas. Environmental issues seperti kulat, binatang peliharaan, hama (dust mites), debunga (pollen), etc. Kalau kita minum air sejuk sangat, pun boleh menyebabkan serangan asma. Kalau lepas bersukan, mungkin asma akan menjadi teruk. Dari segi dalam iaitu endogenous, contohnya emosi. Kalau kita ada panic attack, stress, tiba-tiba rasa semput. Boleh jadi teruk tu.
