Are children allergic to bananas?

Normally, we often encounter allergies when eating fruits, and some children also have allergies when eating bananas. Although such cases are only individual, they have happened after all. For children who are allergic to bananas, it is generally because they have an allergic constitution. We will learn more about it through the following article. If your child has such a situation, the best way is to avoid eating the same kind of fruit in the future.

Why eating bananas can also cause allergies:

The main manifestations of allergies caused by fruits are: rapid itching, burning, swelling of the oral mucosa, and may also have papules and blisters; a feeling of narrowing in the throat; digestive system symptoms such as abdominal pain, vomiting, and diarrhea; in severe cases, it can cause asthma, urticaria, and even anaphylactic shock, but most of the symptoms are mild.

The most representative and eye-catching one is oral fruit allergy syndrome. This type of allergy is relatively common and easily overlooked, and manifests as abnormal sensations in the lips and oral mucosa. Another symptom is a burning sensation in the throat, or accompanied by upper gastrointestinal symptoms (such as stomach pain, vomiting, etc.), which are all more acute. Common fruits that induce allergies include: apples, cherries, pears, melons, watermelons, tomatoes, mangoes, bananas, peaches, papayas, etc.

It is worth noting that some of the same antigens may exist in various fruits or vegetables. If you become allergic after eating a certain fruit, you will also have the same allergic reaction to other fruits or vegetables with similar antigens.

The most effective way to prevent fruit allergies is, of course, to stop eating the same kind of fruit, while also paying attention to other fruits with similar antigenic components. If you experience the above symptoms after eating a fruit, it means you are allergic to that fruit.

Through the above introduction, everyone has learned about the situation of children being allergic to bananas. In normal times, we should pay attention to preventing such things. Every child has a different physique, and the phenomenon of fruit allergies is also different. If the body is allergic and really want to eat it, the banana can be heated before eating, so the chance of allergy will be much smaller.
