“How do you know if a toddler has allergies?”
My 5 year old son has allergies and I wonder if my 6 month old does. How do you know if a toddler has allergies?

Constan nasal congestion or eczema
At this young age, environmental allergies are not likely except for pet dander if there are pets at home. Food allergies can be present, so if he/she has ever had a reaction to something, I would advise having the child's skin tested with an allergist who can interpret the results and give you guidance.
