As spring cold arrives, children's allergies increase. 8 tips to reduce allergy symptoms

Spring is the season when children's allergies are prevalent. Since there are many causes of allergies, the symptoms of allergies are also different. Children playing outdoors, pets at home, food, dust, etc. are all possible causes of allergies.

8 Tips to Reduce Allergy Symptoms

1. Before buying food, be sure to read the labels and warnings on the packaging carefully to make sure it will not cause allergic reactions: It should be noted that many sauces contain shellfish, sausages may contain wheat, and breakfast chips are more likely to contain nuts.

2. If you eat out, remember to ask the restaurant chef if the meal contains any allergens. If your parents or children are allergic to shellfish, you may need to avoid the baking area or used plates with shrimp or shellfish.

3. Make sure the child’s teachers, friends and parents know the allergens that cause the child’s allergies so that you can pay attention and take precautions together, especially the child’s playmates.

4. Carry relevant medicines with you, and when you go out, always pay attention to the location of the emergency unit in case of emergency.

5. Hay fever is difficult to prevent, but medication can help alleviate symptoms. Consult a specialist to find out which medication is most effective.

6. Eczema is often related to other symptoms and allergies. Red spots and blisters will appear on the skin. It is also easy to prevent. You should use mild soap, air purifiers, and even suitable moisturizing products on a daily basis.

7. Try to take preventive measures, clean carpets, wash toys, sheets, bedspreads, etc. regularly, and try to avoid dust.

8. If you really don’t know where the allergens come from, you can let your child identify possible allergens through a series of tests, and then prescribe the right medicine to find effective ways to alleviate the symptoms.

What to do if your baby coughs in spring cold

If a child keeps coughing during the day and at night, it means that there is both "heat" and "cold" in the child's body. If the child coughs due to cold in the early stage, parents should pay attention to removing dampness and cold from the child, and prevent the child from being exposed to cold and eating cold food to prevent the cough from getting worse. If the child's cough gets worse, you can use ginger and sugar water to dispel the cold, soak the child's feet until sweating, and give the child a lot of warm water to dissipate internal heat. This can quickly cure the cold and make the cough almost non-existent.

The main purpose of letting children drink a lot of warm water is that as they drink a lot of water, they urinate frequently, and viruses and bacteria are excreted from the body in time. They will not stay in the respiratory tract and cause inflammation of the respiratory tract, and the cough will be cured without treatment. Cough is actually the stimulation of inflammation. All doctors think of anti-inflammatory drugs, and drinking a lot of warm water is the most cost-effective anti-inflammatory drug, and it will not cause new damage to the body.

How to care for babies with spring cold

Children's resistance to the outside world is weakened, and the spring cold is also fierce, so don't change your winter clothes in a hurry. In addition, spring is the peak season for respiratory and gastrointestinal diseases.

If you pursue "light travel" too early, your head, lower limbs, hands, throat, abdomen, etc. will easily catch cold due to the lack of adaptation in the "cold and hot" temperature changes, and may even develop diseases such as colds.
