The dangers of baby mite allergy

High-energy warning ahead! The rainy season is the most prone to mites! Parents need to pay more attention! It is very harmful for babies to be bitten by mites!

After being bitten by mites, the baby will feel itchy skin and then develop a rash. The rash may manifest as edematous erythema, papules, papulovesicles, wheals, etc., which are red and sparsely distributed, and there are often traces of insect bites on the top of the lesions. This is because after mites bite the human body, they release antigens or toxins, causing an inflammatory response, which is called mite dermatitis.

Many babies have incompletely developed body tissues and weak resistance, which manifests as delicate respiratory tracts that cannot withstand the stimulation of allergic substances, and they will develop respiratory diseases such as allergic rhinitis and allergic asthma.

The indirect harm that mites bring to children is greater and more serious. As we all know, the main symptoms of allergic rhinitis are nasal congestion, itchy nose, clear nasal discharge and sneezing, while the symptoms of allergic asthma are wheezing, chest tightness, coughing and sudden suffocation. The common consequence of these symptoms is that they cause difficulty in breathing in the human body.
