Spring, which is supposed to be the most beautiful season of the year, is a difficult time for people with allergies, especially for babies. So how can we help babies prevent allergies in the spring? What symptoms will babies experience after allergies? Let's take a look together...
1. There are many factors that can cause allergies in babies, mainly involving two aspects:
1) Physiological factors - babies have allergic constitution themselves;
2) External factors - babies come into contact with allergens.
(1) Food allergies: such as milk, eggs, seafood, etc. Milk allergy is more common in newborns and usually manifests as symptoms such as eczema, abdominal pain, constipation, diarrhea, and even vomiting.
(2) Contact allergies: such as cosmetics, paint, alcohol, animal fur, feathers, cold air, etc.
(3) Drug allergies: Drug allergies are relatively rare. Generally speaking, drug-induced allergies will cause fever, and once the drug causing the allergy is stopped, the body temperature will drop.
2. Common symptoms of allergies:
1) Dry, itchy, and eczema skin
2) Persistent vomiting and diarrhea
3) Urticaria
4) Allergic rhinitis
5) Allergic cough or asthma
3. How to help babies prevent allergies in spring:
1) Stay away from allergens as much as possible:
Avoid allergens by staying away from food and environments that cause allergies. For example:
If the baby is allergic to pollen, try to reduce their exposure to flowers and plants, and when going outdoors, they should wear masks.
2) Pay attention to daily care:
Pay attention to indoor hygiene and keep the environment clean. Baby supplies and toys should be cleaned and disinfected regularly.
3) Seek medical attention in a timely manner:
If the baby shows symptoms suspected of allergies, seek medical attention promptly and undergo desensitization treatment under the guidance of a doctor. Do not give the baby antiallergic drugs without the doctor's advice.
