My baby reacted to one type of fish — does that mean they're allergic to all fish?

Reacting to one type of fish doesn't automatically mean your baby is allergic to all fish, but it does raise the risk. Different fish types show "cross-reactivity" — meaning a baby allergic to one type often reacts the same way to others. However, there are exceptions; for instance, a child allergic to salmon might tolerate tuna. What's certain: never try another fish type without your doctor. Allergic reactions can get worse (from mild rash to severe). A pediatric allergist can use skin prick or blood tests to clarify which fish to avoid. Keep notes of what happened and which type of fish it was to bring to your appointment.
