How to cure allergic dermatitis? What should I do if my child has skin allergies? If I don’t understand, I may harm my baby.

Baby allergies are a headache for many parents. If we know the allergens, then we have the correct care methods and take good care of them. But if we don’t know the allergens, it will be really distressing for the baby to have allergies every three days. Of course, the most distressing thing about a child is that the parents don’t know that the child is allergic! Symptoms of Allergies Simply put, an allergy is an oversensitivity to a substance. When a baby eats, touches, or inhales a certain substance, the body will have an excessive reaction. The substance that causes this reaction is a so-called allergen. Severe allergies can cause shock or even death, so it\’s important to identify allergies correctly. The symptoms of food allergy are as follows. If your baby has the following symptoms after eating a certain food, you should pay more attention to: skin and mucosal symptoms: urticaria, eczema, erythema, skin itching, etc.; digestive tract symptoms: nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, Abdominal pain, constipation, etc.; respiratory symptoms: runny nose, sneezing, nasal itching, nasal congestion, cough, chest tightness, wheezing, etc. Misunderstandings about allergy knowledge Myth No. 1: Confusing allergies and intolerances Parents should clearly distinguish whether their babies are intolerant or allergic. The two are different! 1 Food intolerance is caused by the lack of relevant enzymes in the body, resulting in food being unable to be fully digested and utilized. These undigested foods stimulate the body and make the body uncomfortable. Food intolerance is related to the dose of food ingested. It is okay to eat less. The more you eat, the more severe the symptoms will be. If you find that your child is like this, it means you have food intolerance. Just eat less next time. 2 Food allergies usually cause reactions if you touch a little bit of it. If a child develops an allergic reaction after consuming a certain food, then stops consuming the food, the allergic reaction disappears, and then the allergic reaction occurs again after consuming the same food again. If this is the case, it can basically be diagnosed as an allergy. Misunderstanding 2: \”Fight poison with poison\” to treat allergies. Some parents may think that their children are not adaptable to allergies, and they can just eat more and get used to them! Xiaokangjun strongly does not recommend that parents \”fight poison with poison\”, because if parents do not control it well, allergies will become more serious and even cause death! If the reaction is mild, such as perioral rash, itching, etc., you can continue to try a small amount, and you will usually get used to it quickly. If the reaction is obvious, including swelling of the eyes or face, urticaria all over the body, abdominal pain and vomiting, etc., then you need to strictly avoid this food for at least 3 to 6 months before trying a small amount, and do not touch it at all during the avoidance period. If you are still allergic after trying it for 3 to 6 months, you need to wait another 3 to 6 months. If the reaction is severe, causing difficulty in breathing, coughing, or even coma, you should seek emergency medical treatment and strictly avoid it after determining the allergen. How to prevent and reduce allergies? A history of allergies by both parents, cesarean section and formula feeding (including infant formula consumption in the early days after birth), and low exposure to bacteria, etc. These factors will increase the risk of allergies in the baby. We can prevent and reduce allergies from the following points: 1. Direct breastfeeding as soon as possible after birth to avoid interference from formula milk powder, which is conducive to the establishment of intestinal flora, the development of acquired immunity, and easy to avoid the occurrence of allergies. Exclusive breastfeeding for at least 6 months after birth is preventiveAn effective method for treating food allergies in infants and young children. For infants and young children with a family history of allergies, it is recommended to continue breastfeeding within one year of age. 2. Pay attention to allergenic foods. There are thousands of foods, and most of them are allergenic. The eight most allergenic foods worldwide are: milk, eggs, fish, shellfish, peanuts, soybeans, tree nuts and wheat. 3. When adding complementary foods, note that when starting to add complementary foods after 4 to 6 months, keep a record of the addition of complementary foods. Each time you introduce a new food, you should adapt to it for 2 to 3 days. Closely observe whether any adverse reactions occur. After adapting to one food, you should add other new foods. 4. Use less antibiotics to avoid unnecessary use, promote and protect the establishment of intestinal flora, thereby reducing allergies. 5. Use less disinfectants and bactericides, less alcohol-containing wipes to wipe your hands, and less use of 84, Dettol, etc. to mop the floor. This will create a germ-free environment for your baby and promote the development of the immune system in the direction of anti-infection. In most babies, allergies will gradually get better as their immune function matures, but in some babies, allergies will remain with them for life. In addition, laboratory allergen testing only targets IgE-mediated immediate allergic reactions, not all allergic reactions, and cannot predict whether there is an allergy to unaccepted foods; and the IgE concentration must be increased to a certain level. It has been detected and has little reference value for babies under 1 year old.
