Abstract

Background: The quality of life for a patient and their family can be greatly impacted by food allergies. Food allergies can cause a variety of symptoms. Food allergies are linked to a decrease in general quality of life in several areas, such as social, psychological, and academic. Objective: To ascertain the quality of life experienced by children with food allergies. Method: The literature was examined through a review of journal articles and books sourced from Pubmed, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar. The following search terms were used: “food allergy,” “children,” “quality of life,” and “food allergy and quality of life”. Result: The quality of life for children who have food allergies is still negatively impacted. More research is required to determine the factors that contribute to children with food allergies having a reduced quality of life or remaining in a poor group.
