the hardest thing about food allergies (ok most allergies) is the symptoms can be so - not what you expect. Allergies can make you think you have the flu, arthritis, indigestion, etc. The other problem is: it can take anywhere from instantaneous to over a week for a symptom to a food to manifest itself. and it takes your body up to 2 weeks to completely remove the offending food from your system. My allergist told me as I got older, I wouldn't be able to fight off allergic reactions to things like I could in my past like: strawberries! That being said: if you were allergic to ginger as a child, there's a good chance you're STILL allergic to ginger, you just didn't have as strong a reaction in the recent past OR you didn't reconize it for what it was. Like everyone else here said, cut the ginger out, but do it for at least a week if not longer. And then try the ginger tea again and see how you react. If you've increased your ginger to aid with your illness, you could actually be making yourself ill.
