Dr. Zhou Xiaofeng
When a baby has an allergic reaction to formula, feeding with that formula should be stopped immediately, and medical attention should be sought promptly. The doctor will recommend switching to a hypoallergenic or specialized formula based on the baby's allergy symptoms. Meanwhile, parents should monitor the baby for signs of allergy, such as rashes or rapid breathing, and avoid giving the baby other foods that may trigger allergies. During the period of allergy, keeping the baby's skin clean and minimizing irritation can help alleviate symptoms.
