Does undercooked egg cause allergy differently than fully cooked?
⚡ Short answer: In a baby who tolerates fully cooked egg without issues, an allergic reaction to runny or undercooked egg is unlikely, because allergy is typically against the proteins in both the white and yolk, which cooking only partially breaks down.

If my baby eats fully cooked eggs fine, will they have a different reaction to runny or undercooked eggs?

In a baby who tolerates fully cooked egg without issues, an allergic reaction to runny or undercooked egg is unlikely, because allergy is typically against the proteins in both the white and yolk, which cooking only partially breaks down. However, in practice, some babies who tolerate fully cooked eggs may have a mild reaction to runny eggs — usually not a true allergy, but rather mild indigestion from undercooked egg being harder to digest, or minor mouth redness. When your baby tries runny or undercooked egg for the first time, start with a small amount in the morning, watch for symptoms (hives, lip/tongue swelling, difficulty breathing, vomiting) for 2 hours, and always call your pediatrician if you notice anything.
