Skin: rash, eczema, itching, dryness and redness, swelling of mouth;
Gastrointestinal tract: nausea and vomiting, spitting milk, severe constipation, diarrhea, abdominal pain, eating difficulties;
Respiratory system: similar to cold symptoms, such as sneezing, runny nose, rubbing nose, asthma, dry cough, runny nose, rubbing eyes, and even poor breathing;
Other inconspicuous symptoms, such as headache, crying, anger, excessive excitement, etc., are more serious food allergies and even anaphylactic shock, which endanger the baby's life and must be taken seriously.
Second, what about food allergies? Taboo, generally avoid allergic food, mild allergic symptoms can be relieved by themselves, if you don't know what kind of food is allergic, you can use the "exclusion method" to screen:
1, to record anything the baby has eaten in recent days;
2. Gradually check the foods that are most likely to cause allergies, usually dairy products. It is best to use a single effective ingredient, such as milk, because fresh noodles contain many allergens and are very difficult to screen.
3. Let the baby try abnormal food once every two weeks, from a small amount to an excessive amount. If there is no abnormality, try the next abnormal food again until the allergen is clear, and then try a small amount after at least 4 months to see if the baby will continue to be allergic.
4. If the baby has a serious allergic reaction, it is best to take it to the hospital for treatment and carry out allergen testing if necessary.
Third, how to reduce the risk of allergies? 1, continuous exclusive breastfeeding for at least 4 months, food allergy mainly reflects protein in food, while milk can reduce the intake of food egg white and reduce the risk of allergy.
2, complementary food should not be added later than 8 months or earlier than 4 months, otherwise it will increase the risk of food allergies. The addition of complementary food follows the standards from one to many, from small to large, and from many to few. Every time you add a food, observe the baby's reaction. After 3 days, the baby is normal, and then add a new complementary food to the baby.
3. Cultivate the habit of recording the baby's daily diet within 2 years old. Some allergic reactions are likely to appear after several hours or even days. If the baby's food is very miscellaneous, it is very easy to forget;
4. Babies with allergic history in large families, especially when paying attention to their diet, can consult a doctor to prepare baby recipes if necessary.
