Symptom 5. Nasal Congestion and Sneezing
Nasal congestion and sneezing are common symptoms of dairy allergies. These symptoms are caused by the immune system’s response to the proteins in milk, leading to the release of histamine and other chemicals that cause inflammation and irritation of the nasal passages.
Nasal congestion and sneezing can be particularly bothersome, affecting an individual’s ability to breathe comfortably and sleep soundly. In some cases, these symptoms may be accompanied by other allergy-related symptoms, such as itchy, watery eyes or a runny nose.
To manage nasal congestion and sneezing caused by dairy allergies, it is important to avoid dairy products and seek medical advice for appropriate treatment. Over-the-counter antihistamines may be helpful in reducing symptoms, but a healthcare professional should be consulted before starting any new medication. (4)
