What should I do if my child is allergic to fruit?

Parents often feed their children fresh fruits and vegetables. There are many kinds of fruits available in life. Parents should feed their children seasonal fruits. Such fruits are fresher and have higher nutritional value. They are very beneficial to children's physical development. However, some children are very sensitive and will have allergies after eating some fruits. At this time, we should find a solution based on the child's allergic symptoms.

What should I do if my child is allergic to fruit?

A while ago, a child who suffered from recurrent oral ulcers due to an allergy to winter jujube was seen in the outpatient clinic. During the consultation, the parents said that their child had oral ulcers for more than a month, and they had recurred repeatedly. After asking the child about his recent diet, I discovered a detail: winter jujubes were just on the market at that time, and the parents often bought them for the child to eat to supplement vitamin C. So I suspected that the child might be allergic to winter jujube, so I asked the parents to stop feeding the child with it. I came back for a checkup a few days later, and sure enough, the oral ulcers had improved a lot.

“Can winter dates cause allergies? And my child has eaten winter dates before, so why didn’t he have an allergy?” The parent was a little confused.

That’s right, mango, pineapple, kiwi, etc. are the allergenic fruits that everyone is familiar with. In addition, there are some less common ones, such as winter dates, Hami melons, and some people are even allergic to chestnuts. Especially in winter, sugar-roasted chestnuts are everywhere, and some children will have allergies after eating them.

In addition, fruit allergies do not occur every time. Allergies are closely related to the body's condition. They only occur when the body is under great stress, tired, or has poor sleep.

Children who are allergic to fruits, in addition to recurrent oral ulcers, common symptoms include rashes in fixed locations, dry and itchy skin, and recurrent coughs.

What are the fruits most likely to cause allergies? Berries are most likely to cause allergies, including fruits such as grapes, kiwis, mulberries, papayas, carambolas, guavas, citrus fruits, pineapples, figs, pomegranates and strawberries. The main manifestations of this type of fruit allergy are allergic cheilitis and allergic stomatitis, followed by allergic gastroenteritis.

In addition, fruits related to eczema, chronic urticaria and constipation include apples, bananas and dates. Vegetables and fruits that are related to UV allergies include celery, lettuce, rapeseed, spinach, leek, amaranth, Chinese cabbage, mustard greens, coriander, apples, etc.
