Question
Twenty-Day Problem Description: The baby has been breastfeeding and has developed spots on the body that the doctor says are due to high-protein allergies. How should we handle this?
Answer
Food allergies occur when the human immune system has an abnormal response to certain foods. When certain substances (usually proteins) enter the body, the immune system identifies them as invaders and releases a specific type of immunoglobulin E. This immunoglobulin E binds to the food and produces many chemical substances, leading to symptoms such as skin redness, frequent diarrhea, indigestion, headaches, sore throat, and asthma. To alleviate high-protein allergies, it is recommended that you consult a doctor. Based on the baby’s specific condition, it may be necessary to avoid contact with high-protein foods, undergo skin tests or blood tests to determine the allergen, and make corresponding dietary adjustments and treatment measures as advised by the doctor.
