Symptoms of milk allergy can vary from person to person – some babies may have immediate reactions, while others may take several hours to show symptoms. What are the symptoms of milk allergy in babies? Let's find out together!
Symptoms can generally be categorised into skin reactions, gastrointestinal, as well as respiratory reactions.
Skin allergies
Skin reactions such as rashes or eczema and rash may manifest in babies with milk allergies.
Gastrointestinal reactions
Such reactions often cause vomiting and diarrhoea a few hours after ingestion. Diarrhoea after drinking milk may point towards babies having trouble breaking down the proteins in the milk. In addition to diarrhoea, there may also be blood or mucus in the stool.
Respiratory reactions
Like adults, babies can experience allergic reactions with symptoms such as sneezing and runny nose. In severe cases, one can experience shortness of breath and rapid breathing.
