If allergens such as pollen, mold, and animal dander are eaten or inhaled, they can easily pass through the thin intestinal wall and enter the blood. Because babies have abundant subcutaneous capillaries, the symptoms will appear immediately on the skin.

(2) Imperfect gastrointestinal system and weak immunity.

2. External factors.

The most common external factors that cause baby urticaria are drugs and food:

(1) Food: nuts, seafood, eggs, strawberries, mushrooms, milk, etc.

(2) Drugs: penicillin, streptomycin, sulfonamides, aspirin, chloramphenicol, furazolidone, serum, vaccines, etc.

(3) Inhalants: pollen, dust, smoke, etc.

(4) Sources of infection: bacteria, viruses, fungi, parasites, etc.

(5) Animal and plant irritants: bed bugs, mites, nettles, kudzu, etc.

The cause of hives may vary depending on your baby's age.

(2) After adding complementary foods: As infants and young children grow older, they begin to eat complementary foods. At this time, eggs, meat floss, fish floss, fruit juice, vegetables, and fruits can all become causes of allergies.

(3) Preschool and school-age children: Children at this age tend to like to eat snacks, and there are more types of snacks and regular meals, so the chance of food allergies increases. Foods such as nuts, fish, crabs, shrimps, peanuts, eggs, strawberries, apples, plums, citrus fruits, various cold drinks, beverages, chocolate, etc. may become the cause of allergies.
