Each of us has a different physique, and our eating habits are also different. In particular, many babies are allergic to some foods when they are young due to their poor body resistance. Among them, baby protein allergy is a relatively common phenomenon. The symptoms of protein allergy will cause certain harm to the baby, and it will also make the baby very uncomfortable. Sometimes it will cause itchy skin or rash. So what should we do if the baby is allergic to protein? Let's find out below.

If you are allergic to egg white, and it is a systemic allergy, you must not try again after one month and must stop for at least 6 months. Babies who have severe egg allergies should not be vaccinated against leprosy.

I guess many mothers don’t understand that it’s not just protein that can easily cause allergies in babies, but many high-protein foods can also easily cause allergies in babies. The protein in the baby's food enters the baby's body and is treated as an invading pathogen, causing an immune response, resulting in food allergy, which doctors call protein allergy. Mild symptoms of protein allergy in babies include eczema and urticaria on the skin, while severe symptoms can cause local or systemic reactions such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, nasopharyngeal hypersensitivity, asthma, and even shock.

Common high-protein food allergies include milk, eggs, soybeans, wheat, nuts, peanuts, fish and shellfish.

The main component of poultry eggs (hen eggs, quail eggs and egg products) that causes allergies is ovalbumin in egg white. The allergen of ovalbumin has poor heat resistance, and the chance of inducing allergies in poultry eggs that have been treated at high temperatures can be significantly reduced.

Milk allergy is very common among infants. In addition to not drinking milk, people with milk allergies should also try to avoid eating dairy products such as cheese curd, yogurt, lactose-free milk and cream cakes. In order to enhance the body's nutrition, patients can only switch to other foods instead, such as drinking soy milk and soy milk (they are formulas made with soybeans as raw materials and contain neither lactose nor milk protein).
