What causes allergies in children?

An allergy occurs when the immune system reacts excessively to a normally harmless substance (allergen). While there's no single cause of allergies in children, genetic predisposition (family history of allergies) is the strongest risk factor. Beyond that, early antibiotic use, cesarean birth, delayed intestinal flora maturation, and environmental factors (air pollution, secondhand smoke exposure) may trigger allergy development. The most common allergens include cow's milk protein, eggs, peanuts, dust mites, pollens, and pet dander. If you suspect allergies, you must consult a pediatric allergist.
