Allergies can manifest in different ways in babies. The most commonly seen symptoms are:
- On skin: redness, hives (urticaria), eczema-like rashes, itching
- In the digestive system: diarrhea, vomiting, bloody mucoid stools, stomach pain, gas cramps
- In breathing: sneezing, runny nose, wheezy breathing, cough
- General: fussiness, sleep disruption, poor weight gain
Most common allergens: cow's milk protein, eggs, peanuts, soy, wheat. Cow's milk protein allergy is the most commonly seen food allergy in babies.
For mild symptoms, elimination diet (removing suspected food) is applied under doctor supervision, while for severe symptoms like difficulty breathing or lip/tongue swelling, emergency treatment is needed.
If you suspect allergies, I strongly recommend consulting a pediatric allergist for a definitive diagnosis.
