tejfehérjeallergiával

Tejfehérjeallergia refers to an immune system reaction to proteins found in milk, most commonly casein and whey. It is distinct from lactose intolerance, which is a digestive issue related to the sugar in milk. Symptoms of tejfehérjeallergia can vary widely and may include skin reactions such as hives or eczema, respiratory problems like wheezing or nasal congestion, and gastrointestinal issues such as vomiting, diarrhea, or abdominal pain. In some cases, severe allergic reactions known as anaphylaxis can occur, which require immediate medical attention.

Diagnosis typically involves a medical history review, physical examination, and possibly allergy testing, such as skin prick tests or blood tests. The primary management strategy for tejfehérjeallergia is strict avoidance of all milk and dairy products. This often necessitates careful reading of food labels to identify hidden sources of milk proteins in processed foods. For infants, this means using specialized hypoallergenic formulas. For older children and adults, alternative sources of calcium and vitamin D are important to ensure adequate nutrition. In cases of accidental exposure or severe reactions, antihistamines or epinephrine may be prescribed. Tejfehérjeallergia is more common in infants and young children, and many individuals outgrow it over time.
