Yes, cheese can cause allergies in some children, particularly those who are allergic to dairy or lactose intolerant. Symptoms of a cheese allergy can include hives, vomiting, diarrhea, and in severe cases, anaphylaxis. If a child shows any signs of an allergic reaction after consuming cheese, it is important to consult a healthcare provider immediately. Lactose intolerance is less severe and may cause symptoms like bloating, gas, and stomach cramps.
