Allergies can be difficult to identify, and often they are never identified. Though if you see an allergist/immunologist he or she will find at least 3 allergies on virtually anyone tested. In a situation like this you look to identify any new "allergens", but just because they aren't any new allergens doesnt mean you cant develop a reaction to something you have been exposed to daily. To run the list of possible allergens: (1) Everything but oxygen has been implicated in causes allergic reactions. You have obviously considered the most common problems, but dont forget to check for things that change with the season: Dust or molds that become active when you first turn your air-conditioning on. So check your filters. The usual molds or pollens in the air as spring arrives. Most children grow out of allergies or need only simple treatments such as antihistamines for enviromental allergies. Food allergies are a totally different beast, and probably not your problem.

Good luck, its never good when its your own child. Been there, done it, it went away...without changing anything.
