  • Reaction of the body to serotonin. This substance in bananas is contained in large quantities. Overabundance of serotonin is manifested by a profuse rash.
  • Influence of chemicals. Exotic fruits are always processed with chemicals to preserve their presentation and extend shelf life. If these components penetrate the pulp, the body can react negatively.
  • Cross reaction. Bananas, avocados, kiwi, tomatoes have a similar protein complex. Therefore, if a child reacts negatively to a kiwi or a tomato, it may develop and an allergy to bananas.
  • You don't need to give your baby a whole banana. Give him a small piece. If the body doesn't give alarm signals within 24 hours, then everything is fine.

    Symptoms of Banana Allergy in Children

    Eating bananas can cause some children to experience common food allergy symptoms:

    • redness of cheeks;
    • dryness and peeling of the skin;
    • pimples;
    • itching;
    • swelling of the respiratory tract.

    The baby reacts violently to discomfort, cries,is capricious and sleeps poorly. In children over one year old, allergies manifest themselves differently. They complain of abdominal pain and nausea, many have diarrhea. Red spots or rashes appear on the skin, which itch a lot. Some children react badly even to the smell of the fruit, they begin to sneeze and choke. If an allergy to bananas in children occurs from time to time, then the problem is in the chemical treatment of the fruit. Fruit grown without pesticides and not treated with chemicals does not cause a negative reaction. A child with allergies should be shown to a doctor. He will prescribe a dosage of antihistamines and general tonics. To soothe the itching and remove the rash, the baby should be bathed in a decoction of chamomile or string. Taking sorbents helps to quickly remove allergens from the body. Following the diet and following the doctor's recommendations will help reduce the risk of exacerbation of allergies. Medicines are used only to alleviate the child's condition. With age, everything can still return to normal. Otherwise, bananas will have to be excluded from the menu for a long time or forever.Also interesting:
