Consultations about suspected cow’s milk protein allergies are quite common in primary care, but these allergies can be a challenge to diagnose, particularly as symptoms can manifest in many different ways, and testing can be complicated. We talk to Dr. Nicola Brathwaite about the diagnosis and management of cow’s milk protein allergies in infants, and our discussion includes how to navigate consultations with parents who may be distressed and fraught with anxiety over their baby’s symptoms, and how best to manage the reintroduction of milk back into the diet.
Our guest:
Nicola Brathwaite is a paediatric allergy consultant at King's College Hospital, London. She completed her specialist training in Paediatrics and Paediatric Allergy in Cape Town, South Africa.
