How Are Environmental Allergies Diagnosed in Neonates?
Diagnosing environmental allergies in neonates can be complex. Symptoms might overlap with other common neonatal disorders, such as viral infections or colic. Common diagnostic methods include:
Allergy testing: Skin prick tests or blood tests (like the RAST test) can identify specific allergens. Observation: Monitoring symptoms in response to potential allergens in the environment. Family history: Evaluating the familyâs medical history for any allergic conditions.
