Allergies in Children
You may have heard that children nowadays are experiencing more allergies, and you may wonder if your child has allergies as well. To begin, let's get familiar with childhood allergies. Starting from just a few months old, some children may be allergic to cow's milk, which can cause symptoms like vomiting, diarrhea, and in severe cases, even blood in the stool. Others may experience severe rashes or wheezing after consuming milk. Some children may have such severe reactions that they go into shock, stop breathing, or lose consciousness. Other foods, such as eggs, soy, and wheat, can also trigger allergic reactions just like cow's milk. Allergies often occur in children who have a family history of allergies.
