What should I do if my child has allergies?

Baby's skin is very delicate, so it may often cause allergies due to environmental or air reasons. After a baby has an allergy, most of the time the body will feel uncomfortable, the most obvious being redness, swelling and itching of the skin. Some babies will constantly scratch the allergic part or keep crying. So what should you do if your baby has allergies?

1. Relieve allergies

To relieve baby's skin allergies, parents should first avoid the baby scratching with their hands, and at the same time pay attention to the baby's hygiene. Acupoint massage can also be used to treat and relieve symptoms.

2. Do not scratch the allergic area

When parents find that their baby's skin is allergic, with redness and itching, they should be careful not to let the baby scratch it with their hands. Instead, they should gently touch the skin with their hands to relieve the itching. If the vicious cycle of "itch-scratch-itch" continues, it can easily lead to skin damage and infection.

3. Don’t take a bath too often

If your baby has skin allergies, be careful not to bathe him frequently. When bathing, be careful to avoid using overheated bath water. Do not use irritating soaps or shower gels. After washing, apply a mild and non-irritating moisturizer in time. Pay attention to maintaining the temperature and humidity in the room. If you are in an air-conditioned room, it is best to put a basin of water in the room to maintain the humidity of the air and avoid dry skin.

4. Massage more

When a baby has skin allergies, the simplest and most convenient way is massage. For example, the mother can massage the spring points on the soles of the baby's feet once a day, pressing or rubbing them 30 to 50 times, or boil water with mugwort leaves for the baby to soak his feet, which can also relieve the baby's skin allergies.

5. Press the fontanelle on the top of the head

Pressing the fontanelle on the top of the head can also relieve baby's skin allergies, but it is only suitable for babies under 1 and a half years old. The method is that the father can cover the baby's fontanelle with his hands for 15 to 30 minutes. When pressing the baby, be sure to give the baby plenty of warm water, not hot water, to prevent irritation to the nasal and laryngeal mucosa, causing mucosal congestion and leading to a decrease in resistance.

6. Pay attention to skin cleansing

When the baby shows symptoms of skin allergies, the first thing parents should pay attention to is to clean the child's skin, which is very helpful for the treatment of skin allergies. If necessary, some anti-inflammatory preparations can be used to relieve the condition. Parents must take this as a warning.

7. Keep warm

After skin allergies occur, parents should also pay attention to keeping their children warm. This is also an effective measure to treat skin allergies, especially keeping the soles of children's feet warm. This can enhance the child's own immunity, which is very beneficial for treatment. Everyone must keep it in mind.

8. Find out the source of allergies

Skin allergies in babies are generally caused by allergens. Therefore, after the child becomes ill, parents must pay attention to finding the allergens as soon as possible, and then let the patient avoid the allergens as much as possible. This is an effective measure to alleviate the condition, and parents must keep this in mind.

9. Nutritional supplements

After a newborn develops skin allergies, parents should also pay attention to supplementing their children's bodies with adequate nutrition, which is also very effective in treating skin allergies. Giving children more fresh fruits and vegetables will be of great help in alleviating the symptoms of the child's body. Everyone must take this as a warning.
