Do allergies go away after time?

FAQ

Allergies can vary from person to person, and while some allergies may go away over time, others may persist throughout a person’s lifetime. The likelihood of allergies going away can depend on several factors, such as the type of allergy, severity of the allergy, age of the person, and other individual factors.

In some cases, children may outgrow allergies as their immune system develops and matures. For example, many children outgrow allergies to foods such as milk, eggs, wheat, and soy as they get older. However, other allergies, such as those to pollen, mold, pet dander, and certain medications, may persist into adulthood.

On the other hand, some allergies, such as allergies to insect stings, may actually develop later in life. It’s also important to note that allergies can change over time, with new allergies potentially emerging or existing allergies becoming more severe or less severe.

It’s best to consult with a healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis and to determine the best course of treatment for allergies. Allergy management typically involves identifying and avoiding triggers, taking medications as prescribed, and potentially undergoing allergen immunotherapy (allergy shots) under the guidance of a healthcare provider.
