Signs and symptoms include skin rashes, hives, nasal congestion, vomiting, and other digestive problems. Rarely, egg allergy can cause a life-threatening reaction.
However, researchers have found a solution for the ones with egg allergies in the new study. For this study, researchers examined children from birth to six years of age.
According to study results, 14 of 2237 surveys (0.6 percent) reported egg allergy at one year and 11 of 1379 surveys (0.8 percent) reported egg allergy at 6 years. Children with an egg allergy at 1-year-old and 6 years old had less frequent egg consumption at 5, 6, 7, and 10 months of age.
The current evidence suggests that early introduction of the egg during infancy, followed by consistent and frequent feedings, seems protective against the development of egg allergy. Researchers are still investigating the optimal timing of infant egg introduction and frequency of feeding.
