Symptoms of protein allergy in children

According to many clinical data, less than 3% of babies are allergic to milk in the first year after birth. Because many mothers are novices, they can't tell whether the baby is allergic at a glance. Therefore, even if the baby has eczema, diarrhea, abdominal pain and so on after drinking milk, the mother can't think that this is allergy and use drugs indiscriminately, Otherwise, the adverse consequences are unpredictable. At this time, it is suggested that the mother should go to the hospital to do a skin test or blood test to determine whether the baby has allergies, and then make the next arrangement.

Eczema is closely related to heredity. If the baby's parents have a history of eczema or are allergic to certain food and environmental factors, they should try to avoid exposing the baby to substances that may cause allergy; Wool, man-made fiber, pollen, sweat, urine and dry air may cause eczema. Babies with eczema should stay away from these environments. Chen Min told reporters that food is also an important cause of baby eczema. Milk and formula milk contain a large number of allogeneic proteins, which can cause some babies allergic, and some babies are allergic to eggs, fish, shrimp, crab, chocolate and other foods. Infant milk allergy is actually an allergy to the protein in milk, that is to say, it is caused by the overreaction of the baby's immune system to milk protein. The deep hydrolyzed protein is treated by protease hydrolysis process, which greatly reduces the allergic components of milk protein and reduces the allergenicity of the improved milk protein, that is, hydrolyzed protein.

General hospital blood examination can find out whether the baby protein allergy. Almost every brand of milk powder on the market has hydrolyzed protein milk powder, but drinking deeply hydrolyzed milk powder can only prevent milk protein allergy, and has no effect on other allergens. Therefore, deeply hydrolyzed milk powder is not actually a kind of medicinal milk powder, let alone a "panacea" for treating infant allergy. In addition, the nutrition of hydrolyzed protein milk powder is similar to that of ordinary milk powder, so mothers don't have to worry about the nutrition of allergic babies.

Therefore, for these mothers, it is best to be able to breastfeed, it is best to be able to feed more than 6-7 months, until the baby's physical health has a certain basis, and then turn to milk powder. Because the baby's milk allergy is aimed at the protein allergy in milk, we try not to drink formula milk powder before eliminating the allergy. It's better not to touch cake and milk sugar until the symptoms are improved. At this time, the mother can choose deep hydrolyzed protein formula instead of ordinary milk powder, which can prevent milk allergy and supplement nutrition at the same time.
