My son previously showed no signs of allergies. But within the last three weeks, he has been suffering from terrible allergies and has been diagnosed with asthma. I can’t find anything in his environment that has changed. What causes allergies/asthma to suddenly appear in some individuals?
It is not fully understood why someone develops allergic rhinitis or asthma. If a person has close, genetically related relatives with allergic rhinitis or asthma, they have increased risk of developing allergic rhinitis or asthma. Allergic rhinitis and allergic asthma can begin at any age whenever a person becomes sensitized to airborne allergens.
