Symptoms of apple allergy in children
Most often, an allergic reaction develops ininfants up to one year. Breastfeeding women should eat only green apples to avoid triggering an allergy in the baby. One of the first symptoms by which you can identify an allergy is a rash on the body. Other symptoms:
- itching;
- redness of cheeks;
- abdominal pain;
- nausea and vomiting;
- diarrhea;
- greenish stools;
- increased flatulence in the intestines.
Apple is one of those fruits that are the first toare introduced into the baby's diet. It is desirable that the apples be grown in your region or garden. If the fruit causes an allergy in the child, postpone complementary feeding for another 2 months. The digestive tract of children is not yet perfect, so the stomach and intestines do not have enough enzymes necessary for processing apples. An allergy to apples in a child manifests itself within an hour or two after eating. If the child cannot eat this fruit fresh, try giving it baked. You can offer the child compote or sterilized juice. A product that has undergone heat treatment rarely causes an allergy. To confirm the diagnosis of allergy, you need to see a doctor and take tests. The child will be prescribed a hypoallergenic diet and immunostimulants. If the child's body does not react adequately to apples, then it is necessary to exclude the allergen at least for a while. Often, intolerance to apples disappears with age, so do not worry ahead of time. Also interesting:
