Abstract:

The clinical management of food allergy primarily involves the avoidance of allergenic foods and symptomatic treatment through multidisciplinary collaboration. Hypoallergenic formula plays a crucial role in providing nutrition for infants with milk protein allergy. It is imperative for doctors to select and standardize hypoallergenic formulas judiciously. Food ladder therapy has been employed in managing mild to moderate non-IgE-mediated food allergies in children. Individualized treatment approaches are the future direction for managing food allergies.
