: Is this a chicken and egg question? Was it the allergy that caused symptoms
: doctors felt necessary to treat with antibiotics or was it the antibiotics
: that screwed up the immune system. Your thoughts/experiences?
I guess I'd figure chicken-and-egg, unless there was a very good
test protocol that could differentiate. I'm not even sure how you'd
do that - except deny antibiotics to sick kids... which isn't likely
to happen!
Anyway, Alyssa was food-allergic long before antibiotics. She's
only had them (all ear infections) about 6 times in her whole life (almost 5yrs).
No asthma, though.
