Reactions in Children and Infants
Babies and Toddlers can be a challenge in discovering and finding solutions for allergies. Your pediatrician should be your first resource, but formal allergy testing is available and is covered by most insurance providers. Though many blood tests show negative results for allergy testing, anytime there is a reaction to a food it is considered an allergy.



Allergic reactions in babies and toddlers can be, but are not limited to:

Bloody stools
Diarrhea
Vomiting
Swelling of the lips, eyes, tongue or face
Difficulty breathing
Runny nose
Discoloring in the face
Spotting, Bumps, and Blotchiness in the Face


The symptoms are similar to those in adults, however small children lack the ability to communicate their pains and feelings therefore making it difficult to distinguish. Reaction times can range from instantaneous to a few hours, depending on the trigger. Your child could seem fine after lunch, but after a nap, your child could wake up with swollen eyes or eczema and have a severe allergic reaction.

Anaphylactic shock is a severe allergic reaction that often includes swelling of the face, lips, mouth and throat and it can lead to a drop in blood pressure, shock and unconsciousness. If it is not treated immediately with epinephrine, anaphylaxis can be fatal. Milder reactions may be treated with an antihistamine, but only your pediatrician can give you proper dosage instructions.
