简要总结
The investigators will conduct low-dose intranasal allergen challenges on children/adolescents with a diagnosis of food allergy to egg/cow's milk/soya/wheat/peanut. The data will be used to determine the safety and potential utility of intranasal food challenges in the diagnosis of food allergy.

结局指标
主要结局
Physiological response to intranasal challenge with a food protein
时间窗: 20mins
The physiological response to food (egg/cow's milk/soya/wheat/peanut) protein when administered into the human nasal airway in food-allergic children with the corresponding food allergy. This will be assessed objectively (using acoustic rhinometry and peak nasal inspiratory flow) as well as subjectively (using a validated Symptom Scoring questionnaire).
次要结局
- Intranasal threshold to food protein(20 mins)
