We all know that babies grow and develop very fast, so it is easy to lead to low immunity. In the process of growth, they will inevitably encounter some diseases. Some diseases need to be treated with drugs. However, because babies cannot express emotions, sometimes some drugs may cause allergies. However, if we can master the allergic symptoms, we can discover them in time and make adjustments in time. Let’s learn about what reactions babies will have when they are allergic to medicines.

What will happen if your baby is allergic to medicine?

Although drug allergy is a disease that people are relatively familiar with, if it occurs in children, because they cannot express themselves clearly, it is very likely that the children's lives will be endangered due to lack of timely treatment. Therefore, parents should clearly understand the symptoms of drug allergy in children. The following article will introduce them to you.

1. If it occurs in the oral cavity, it manifests as multiple mucosal linear ulcers on the tongue, palate, and tongue edge. The child will cry, refuse to eat, and have swollen submandibular lymph nodes.

2. Children with allergic symptoms in the gastrointestinal tract often experience nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, intestinal cramps, and diarrhea. Frequent occurrence of these symptoms can cause weight loss and slow growth.

3. Infants may experience colic, which usually occurs within one month after birth and may last for 3 to 4 months. The child shows symptoms of loud crying, flexed limbs, increased gas in the intestinal cavity, and visible abdominal distension.

4. Children with allergies may also experience irritability, hyperactivity, hyperesthesia, drowsiness, fatigue, and older children may report having migraines.

5. When allergies manifest on the skin, atopic dermatitis, eczema, urticaria, and angioedema may occur.

After reading the above introduction, I believe everyone already knows the symptoms of drug allergy in children. If a child cries incessantly, feels nauseous, vomits, etc. during illness, he or she may be suffering from drug allergy. Parents must stop taking the allergy medication and give the child timely treatment.

Children can be said to be the hope of every family, so many parents don’t know how to deal with them when they encounter health problems with their children. The above is an introduction to what reactions will occur if the baby is allergic to medicine. I hope that parents can master more of this common sense so that they can be more adept at taking care of the baby. In addition, when the baby is sick, they cannot take medicine blindly. They must take medicine for treatment under the guidance of a doctor.
