Symptoms of protein allergy

Allergies are very common in life, and babies may also experience allergies. The allergens are relatively specific proteins. Protein allergy is mainly caused by certain substances entering the child's body and being mistaken by the immune system as invading pathogens, resulting in symptoms such as frequent diarrhea, indigestion, and headaches. Because it is easy to be confused, the main symptoms must be clear. So, what are the symptoms of protein allergy?

What are the symptoms of protein allergy?

1. Gastrointestinal problems. Protein allergy first affects the baby's gastrointestinal tract. When the gastrointestinal system is unable to absorb protein, a series of reactions will occur. Such as: nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, diarrhea, abdominal distension and abdominal pain and other symptoms. It is possible that babies with weaker constitutions may develop gastritis or enteritis. If inflammation occurs, they must seek medical treatment.

2. Allergic symptoms appear on the skin. This is the most intuitive symptom of protein allergy. Redness, swelling, hives and itching of the skin. Any allergic reaction will manifest itself directly through the blood vessels in the skin.

3. The nervous system is affected. When a baby is allergic to protein, his gastrointestinal tract will be affected and his nervous system will also have various problems, such as headaches and dizziness. For babies with severe allergies, the possibility of symptoms such as difficulty breathing or shock cannot be ruled out.

What to do if protein causes allergies

The first is to degrade allergic antibodies. This method takes time. First, you need to see a doctor to confirm what kind of food your baby is allergic to. Once confirmed, you should stop eating the food completely. This can completely block allergens and completely avoid allergenic ingredients. Generally speaking, babies will no longer experience allergic symptoms after they stop eating this food. At the same time, as the baby's antibodies increase, he may no longer be allergic to this food.

The second is oral desensitization therapy. This method is equivalent to fighting poison with poison, but the focus should be on the quantity. To give a simple example, many babies are allergic to eggs. In this case, you can dilute the eggs directly with water. For the first time, you can add a little bit of egg to the water and feed it to the baby, and then observe the baby's condition. If there is no problem, you can slowly increase the dosage. After two to three months, the baby will be able to adapt to the food and eat it normally. Use this method to let the baby gradually adapt and then desensitize.
