Milk Protein Allergy in Toddlers
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Milk protein allergy in young children is a reaction of the immune system to the proteins present in cow's milk and its derivatives.
Frequent symptoms: Digestive discomfort, skin reactions such as hives or redness, and, in some cases, respiratory symptoms after consuming dairy may appear.
When to see a doctor? An assessment is advisable if the child has repeated reactions related to milk, trouble gaining weight, or persistent digestive discomfort.
Which specialist treats it? The pediatrician and the allergist work together to identify the allergy, and the pediatric gastroenterologist may join in depending on the symptoms. If you suspect that milk disagrees with your child, the safest thing is for a professional to evaluate them before making decisions about their diet.
