How to relieve itching when your baby is allergic? How to prevent your baby from allergic reactions

Many babies have allergic constitutions, and their skin is easily stimulated by the external environment. When babies are allergic, they will feel unbearable itching and cry loudly. Is there any way to relieve the baby's symptoms?

1. Drugs can relieve itching. According to the doctor's instructions, you can choose some ointments that are less irritating to the baby and use them to wipe the affected area of ​​the baby's allergy. Parents can also go to the pharmacy and ask professional doctors to prepare some Chinese herbal medicines. Use these Chinese herbal medicines to boil water and then bathe the baby. These methods can effectively reduce the symptoms of baby itching.

2. Adjust the water temperature during bathing. When the baby has skin allergies, the water temperature of the bath water must not be too high. If the water temperature is too high, it will not only irritate the skin more, but also wash away the oil on the baby's body, aggravating the symptoms. During the allergy period, pay attention to the water temperature of 30℃~40℃. A comfortable water temperature can wash away the germs well, let the baby sleep better, and relieve itching symptoms. Pay attention to the bathing speed quickly to prevent the baby from catching cold.

3. Use wild chrysanthemum to soak in water. When the baby has skin allergies, parents should not apply advertised anti-itching drugs to the baby. You can use wild chrysanthemum to soak in water for the baby to bathe, or directly use wild chrysanthemum to soak in water for the baby to drink. Because wild chrysanthemum has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects, it can not only relieve itching symptoms, but also has no irritation to the baby and is very safe.

4. Replace the bedsheets and clothes that have been used for a long time. Once the baby's bedsheets and clothes have been used for a long time, it is best to replace them all, because the long-term use of bedding is the breeding ground for bacteria. The baby's skin will become more fragile after allergies. Continuing to use those bedding and clothes will only aggravate the symptoms. Of course, not only the long-term clothes and bedsheets need to be replaced, but also the clothes that have just been used should be cleaned in time.

1. Food must be cooked. Generally speaking, cooked food is less likely to cause allergies than raw food. For example, mothers can heat milk before giving it to their babies. Heating milk for about half an hour can deform the protein and reduce the probability of allergies.

2. Understand foods that are prone to allergies. Mothers should do their homework and understand some foods that are prone to cause food allergies in babies, and try to avoid letting babies eat these foods. Foods like eggs, milk, and barley are all foods that are prone to allergies in babies.

3. Observe the pattern and use other nutrients instead. If you have determined that your baby is allergic to a certain food, you can use the same type of nutrients to replace the food. This can not only supplement nutrition, but also do not have to worry about allergies.

If your child often develops eczema, urticaria, or has recurrent asthma or rhinitis, and your child has allergic reactions to substances that they are exposed to, parents should pay attention to this because these phenomena indicate that your child is likely to have an allergic constitution. So what is an allergic constitution? In normal children, the auxiliary TH1 and TH2 cells interact with each other so that the child's immune system can be maintained in a balanced state. In children with allergic constitutions, the TH2 cells are stronger. As long as they encounter allergens, these cells will become more active, which will cause specific antibodies to rise rapidly, causing the child to have allergic symptoms.

Children with allergic constitutions are more likely to have allergic reactions than ordinary children, and are also more likely to suffer from some allergic diseases. But where to find the cause of these phenomena after they appear? This kind of constitution is what we call allergic constitution. Genetic factors are one of the important reasons for the source of children's allergic constitution. If one of the parents suffers from an allergic disease, then the child has a 60% chance of becoming an allergic constitution after birth. If both parents suffer from allergic diseases, the possibility of the child having an allergic constitution is 80%.

Other reasons that cause children to have allergic constitutions include poor nutrition of the fetus during pregnancy, which will lead to poor development and weak constitution of the child, increasing the chance of developing allergic constitutions. Caesarean section, premature birth, lack of digestive enzymes in the child, frequent consumption of high-allergen foods by the mother during breastfeeding, feeding the child with complementary foods too early, poor living environment, bad eating habits, unreasonable medication, etc. may all cause the child's constitution to become allergic.

Once the baby has allergic symptoms, it may need to be treated with medication. So what is the safest way to use medication?

1. Individualized medication: The medication used for infant allergies cannot be generalized, but must be individualized. Specific medications should be used for specific diseases and specific people.

2. The chemical properties of topical medications should be mild enough, and those with strong acid or alkali strength should not be used to avoid damaging the baby's skin.

3. Choose medicines that do not contain hormones or have low hormone content, preferably pure Chinese herbal preparations.

4. If the condition does not improve after 3 days of medication, please seek medical attention immediately.
