Hello,
Welcome to HCM,
History suggests me that your child is allergic to milk products and to the egg, that is the reason why your child is having these symptoms.
Milk allergy is may be due to milk protein intolerance or lactose intolerance.
Individuals who are allergic to eggs, react to the proteins in egg whites. Every time the person eats an egg, the body thinks these proteins are harmful invaders.
For both the allergen immune system responds by releasing histamine which causes an allergic reaction.
Thank you.
