Can a 13-month-old baby's allergy test accurately detect allergens?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

The baby is still so small, so there's no need to test yet. Currently, some allergies the baby has are temporary. For example, if the baby is allergic to something containing tomatoes, they might not be allergic after a few months. Similarly, if the baby is allergic to egg yolks, they may not have any allergic symptoms after a while. The baby's allergies are different from those of adults, so they can't be judged using adult methods. This is because the baby still has a process of growing and adapting.
