What to do if your baby is allergic to egg whites

If an infant is allergic to egg whites, the following measures can be taken to improve the situation: 1. Avoid egg whites as much as possible. If a child has a severe allergy to egg whites, he or she will often have blood in the stool or hives after exposure to egg whites. The allergy can be relieved by avoiding egg whites and other foreign proteins. 2. Antihistamines can be given to children because egg white allergy can cause itchy skin and hives. If in the acute stage, children will be very uncomfortable. Children can be given antihistamines such as loratadine or cetirizine to improve the situation, and they can also be given other foods with higher protein content to replace them. Because egg whites have better protein and are better absorbed by the body, but are not suitable for reintroduction in children with allergies, children can be treated with soy milk or milk instead.
