Children with skin allergies should be aware of these symptoms

Children's body resistance is lower than that of adults. Children are prone to illness and often catch colds and skin allergies. Most allergic skin diseases involve the respiratory secretion system, especially in spring and summer. Common skin symptoms include eczema, urticaria, small rashes, etc.

Skin allergy symptoms

When a baby develops a rash, runny nose, or sneezing, the mother may think it is a skin disease or a cold, but if the symptoms do not improve for a long time, or recur over and over again, mothers should pay attention, as allergies may be creeping in.

Allergy is a chronic disease. The appearance of allergic symptoms is a bit like a "march", and the chance of a certain allergy occurring at a certain stage is high. In the early neonatal period, food allergies and eczema are the main symptoms, but when the baby is two or three years old, bronchial asthma gradually increases. Before the early childhood period, that is, when the baby is five or six years old, the symptoms of allergic rhinitis become more and more obvious.

What are allergic diseases?

Allergic diseases involve many fields such as otolaryngology, respiratory medicine, dermatology, gastroenterology and ophthalmology.

Many parents assume that allergy symptoms will disappear as their baby grows older. But in fact, the symptoms of allergies will change with age. Many children with allergies may develop eczema, allergic gastroenteritis, etc. in the early stages. If they continue to be stimulated by allergens for a long time, they may develop allergic rhinitis or bronchial asthma.
