What to do if your three-year-old child has allergies

Children's resistance is weaker than that of adults, so they are more likely to suffer from allergic symptoms. No matter which type of allergy it is, it will cause painful symptoms to children and affect their physical and mental health. Therefore, after the child has allergic symptoms, parents must take timely measures to care for the child. Next, I will introduce to you how parents should deal with their children’s allergies!

1. Avoid allergens

There are many factors that cause allergies in children, the most common of which are food and environmental allergies. Parents can take their babies to the hospital for allergen testing. As long as the allergens are identified and contact is stopped immediately, the symptoms of allergies will be greatly alleviated.

1. Food allergies

If skin allergies are caused by food, you should try to avoid these foods in your daily life. There are many foods that can cause skin allergies in children, such as milk, eggs, various nuts, fish, shrimp, seafood, pineapple, etc. Children with allergies should try to avoid eating these things.

2. Environmental allergies

Many children's allergies may be caused by the surrounding environment. For example, if the family suddenly gets a pet such as a dog, the child will become allergic, which means that the child is allergic to the pet's hair. At this time, the pets should be sent away and the room should be thoroughly disinfected and ventilated. After the allergens are driven away, the child's allergic symptoms will also be alleviated.

2. Massage the Yongquan acupoint on the sole of the foot

Parents can massage the Yongquan acupoint on the soles of their baby's feet 30 to 50 times every day to relieve allergy symptoms. In addition, you can also use mugwort leaves to soak your baby's feet, which can also relieve allergy symptoms.

3. Use moisturizing products after bathing

If your baby's skin is allergic, you should reduce the frequency of bathing him/her, but you cannot stop bathing him/her. When bathing your baby, do not use soap, just water. After taking a bath, immediately apply a mild, non-irritating moisturizing product all over the body that has a slight effect on treating baby skin allergies.

4. Take medication as directed by your doctor

When children have allergies, parents should never give them anti-allergic drugs indiscriminately. Because children have low body resistance and their organs are not fully developed, blindly using medication may lead to serious consequences. You should seek professional doctor's diagnosis and treatment and take medication under the doctor's guidance.
