Egg allergy is possible in a 5-month-old baby. Proteins in eggs, especially egg white, are one of the most common food allergens in infancy.
Common symptoms may include:
- Redness, itching, dry skin (especially around the mouth)
- Swelling of lips or eyelids
- Nasal discharge, sneezing
- Stomach upset, vomiting, diarrhea
- Rarely, breathing difficulty or serious allergic reaction (anaphylaxis)
Symptoms usually appear within minutes to 2 hours after eating eggs.
BEFORE giving a 5-month-old baby eggs, you MUST consult a pediatrician — Turkish and international guidelines recommend that eggs be introduced as part of other foods and according to family history, not on their own, when transitioning to solid foods.
If your baby shows any of the above symptoms after eating eggs, you should contact your pediatrician; if there is serious breathing difficulty, wheezing, bluish lips, or loss of consciousness, call emergency services (112).
