Vomiting after eating boiled egg
Hi Doctor,
My son is 11 Months old. He ate egg white today and experienced vomitings after a couple of hours. Can I give him an egg again or do I need to wait?
Does it indicate an allergy?

I'm assuming that egg white was given for the 1st time. If so, he would have just got sensitised to the protein.
An allergic response occurs on re exposure to the same protein. So only from 2nd time onward
Next Steps
Likely this is an intolerance or inability to digest the egg white.
Health Tips
So you can try giving him again, egg white - small quantity, after a few days
