When your child has numerous allergies, it is likely that they won't be getting all the vitamins and minerals they need, especially if, like our daughter, they refuse to take formula (which has a lot of the vitamins and minerals in it). We saw our GP a while ago and she suggested going on Pentavite with iron (available from chemists). Thankfully we had had a blood test that helped us work out what she was missing (iron and calcium). The change in her appearance was substantial - we had grown so used to what she looked like that we didn't even think she looked anaemic. Looking back, she looked quite unwell!
Can I suggest that you see your GP and/or a dietician and get advice regarding vitamin/mineral supplements. Your child might not need a blood test to work it out either. Supplements are not worth the expense if they aren't justified, but very much worth it if they are.
