Cow's Milk Allergy

Cow's Milk Allergy is an immune system response where the body mistakenly identifies proteins in cow's milk as harmful. This triggers symptoms like hives, stomach pain, vomiting, or difficulty breathing, often shortly after consuming milk or dairy products. It's different from lactose intolerance, which involves difficulty digesting sugar. Cow's milk allergy is common in infants and young children but can persist into adulthood. Management typically involves avoiding cow's milk and dairy products, and in some cases, using specialized formulas or alternative milk options. Always consult a healthcare professional for proper diagnosis and guidance.
