Antibiotics Linked To Rising Risk Of Childhood Allergies

This comes as a shock.

A recent study has found that administering antibiotics to children under the age of two may increase their chances of developing asthma and food allergies later in life. Researchers believe that antibiotics may interfere with the development of a child’s gut microbiome, a critical factor in building a strong immune system during early childhood. The study, published in the Journal of Infectious Diseases, highlights the potential long-term health implications of antibiotic overuse during this sensitive stage.

The study followed the medical records of over one million children in the United Kingdom. Researchers observed that those who received antibiotics in infancy were more likely to be diagnosed with asthma or food allergies by the time they reached 12 years of age. Specifically, early antibiotic exposure was linked to a 24% increased risk of asthma and a 33% increased risk of food allergies. The findings build upon earlier evidence suggesting that gut bacteria, which can be disrupted by antibiotics, play a key role in shaping immune responses.

In addition to asthma and food allergies, children exposed to antibiotics early in life showed a slightly higher likelihood—about 6%—of developing seasonal allergies. However, the researchers noted that the data did not show a meaningful connection between early antibiotic use and other conditions such as celiac disease, inflammatory bowel disease, ADHD, or autism spectrum disorders.

Lead researcher Dr. Daniel Horton from Rutgers University emphasized the importance of careful antibiotic use in young children. While antibiotics remain essential for treating bacterial infections, he advised that they should not be used unnecessarily. He encouraged parents to work closely with pediatricians to determine whether antibiotics are truly needed for a given illness.

This study contributes to a growing body of research urging healthcare providers and parents to approach antibiotic treatment with caution in very young children. It reinforces the need to consider long-term effects on immune and allergic development, not just short-term relief from infection.
