What are the symptoms for food allergy, and what could these little red spots be?
I do have an appointment tomorow for myself that I made so my daughter can be checked because she got these little red dots on her body(arms, chest, back, neck and a bit on her forhead, her legs seem unaffected yet, she is 8 months old, also what are the symptoms of food allergy so I can rule that out. Leading up to this rash for two days she had been quite tired then the next day bucked up now this morning when I went to change her from her pajamas was this rash, please help me out if you could- if you may have had a similar experience with your little one.
Are they bumpy or flat? I’m thinking heat rash. It is getting hotter each day and babies sweat as a result producing heat rash. An allergy would show up on the face around the mouth, would make her bottom red raw looking, cause irritation or discomfort, diarrhea or a runny nose. Does she have any of that? If you introduced a new food prior to the reaction it could be an allergy. If there are no other symptoms I do think it’s heat rash.

Symptoms usually appear immediately, but can appear up to two hours after a person has eaten the food to which he or she is allergic. The person may experience one or several of the symptoms below.
Hives (the most common symptom of food allergy.)
Tingling sensation in the mouth
Swelling of the tongue and throat
Difficulty breathing
Vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal cramps, or bloating.
Drop in blood pressure
Light-headedness, loss of consciousness, and death.
In addition to the above symptoms, Eczema (a flaky red skin condition), as well as Asthma (causing wheezing and coughing) can be triggered by a food allergy. Rhinitis (Itchy, runny nose with sneezing) may also occur.

Here’s a link to various rashes on babies: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/003259.htm. It’s probably as simple as baby acne, though that’s usually in younger babies. It’s good that you have the doctor appointment. Good luck.

her rash could be from anything has she ate something new or soaps,detergents it could be from anything it’s hard to say what she has without knowing since we don’t what they look like. Are they hurting her are the itchy that would help out more. Then you can rule out what exactly she has

It’s best to go ahead and get her checked out but I wouldn’t worry too much babies often get heat rash that present in the way that you described if she’s otherwise okay that’s prpbably all it is-there are many different food allergies and reactions to them but I was told by a doctor that they really can’t test and know for sure until they are about three years old-I don’t know that to be true though
