Milk protein allergy is a common allergic phenomenon in young babies. Especially for babies with allergies, they are more likely to develop milk protein allergies. But some parents are not very familiar with this allergy situation, so what are the symptoms of a baby's milk protein allergy?
1. Milk protein allergy is also a type of food allergy, which is the most common food allergy phenomenon among babies under one year old. The symptoms of milk protein allergy are roughly the same as those of other food allergies, mainly manifested as skin symptoms, digestive symptoms, and systemic symptoms. Moreover, babies who are prone to milk protein allergy mostly have genetic predisposition or belong to a sensitive constitution.
2. The most common clinical symptom of milk protein allergy in babies is diarrhea, and in severe cases, bloody stools may occur. Moreover, the initial milk protein allergy can also be easily misdiagnosed. For example, the initial symptoms may include repeated coughing, nasal congestion, runny nose, and sneezing, which can be misdiagnosed as upper respiratory tract infection and treated, but often do not have any effect.
3. In addition, some newborns may have milk protein allergies, but there may not be obvious symptoms after initially taking formula. Generally, corresponding symptoms will only appear after two to three months of taking formula. Therefore, when parents find that their baby has cough, sneezing, nasal congestion, but not accompanied by fever symptoms, they must consider whether there is milk allergy and take the baby to the hospital's gastroenterology or allergy department for examination in a timely manner.
