Question
A two-month-old baby has been drinking the same brand of formula milk since birth. Recently, the baby’s cheek and chin have turned red on one side. Could it be an allergy to the formula milk?
Answer
If the baby has been drinking the same brand of formula milk, check if the current batch is new and just opened. If so, it could be the formula milk. If the baby has been on the same formula for some time and there has been no spoilage, it may not be related to the formula milk at all. You should investigate what the baby has come into contact with. Mild allergies can usually be treated effectively, and severe allergies are rare. Babies with allergies should not be vaccinated.
