In that case, I'd say the RAST confirmed that your child is definitely allergic. So, it provides an explanation for the allergy symptoms you've been seeing. To identify triggers, keeping a symptom diary often helps you to notice patterns in when symptoms occur. And that can help you figure out the culprits. Common allergic triggers include:
- Pollen (big this time of year) from grass, trees, weed
- Molds (both indoor type & outdoor type)
- Animals (furry or feathered dander & urine)
- Dust mites
- Insect waste (especially cockroaches)
