What should I do if my child is prone to skin allergies?

Allergy is a disease in medicine, and it is a disease that needs to be treated. Although sometimes skin allergies can heal themselves without treatment, once the allergy is very serious, it can be life-threatening, so it must be taken seriously. Not only adults are prone to allergies, but children can also suffer from allergies. So the question is, what should parents do if their children are prone to skin allergies?

In the process of children's skin allergies, allergic mediators play a direct role, allergens are a necessary condition for the occurrence of allergic symptoms, and the presence of a large number of free radicals is the root cause of children's skin allergies. Free radical oxidation destroys the cell membranes of mast cells and alkaliphils, causing them to be damaged and denatured, which reduces the body's immune capacity and creates conditions for the occurrence of abnormal immune reactions of antigens and antibodies, leading to cell rupture, the release of allergic mediators, and the occurrence of allergic symptoms. Most anti-allergic drugs work by competing with allergic mediators in the nasal mucosa, skin blood vessels, and bronchial smooth muscle cells, rendering them ineffective. Once the drug's effects wear off, allergies will recur. Moreover, many drugs can cause users to become drowsy. Although some aerosol-type hormone drugs take effect quickly, the symptoms and side effects are more severe when the disease relapses. The root cause of allergies is the patient's allergic constitution. To treat skin allergies, you must start by improving the allergic constitution.

Controlling the environment

The simplest way to treat baby skin allergies is to avoid contact with allergens and stay away from allergens. In this way, patients with allergic constitutions will not come into contact with allergens, thereby not stimulating the body to react strongly to allergens and inducing allergies.

Improve allergic constitution

(1) People with allergic constitution have more immunoglobulin IgE (antibodies that mediate allergic reactions) in their bodies than normal people. Once the patient encounters an allergen, the body will react. The immunoglobulin reacts with the allergen, causing mast cells to release histamine into the corresponding tissues, thus triggering allergies.

(2) In normal humans, there is a certain ratio of helper T cells 1 to helper T cells 2, which play a role in regulating the balance of the human immune system in the human circulatory system.

(3) The gastrointestinal tract of a normal person has a variety of digestive enzymes that help completely digest and absorb protein foods that enter the gastrointestinal tract.

(4) Allergic constitution can be inherited. Strengthening the immune system and improving the above symptoms can improve the allergic experience and eliminate allergies.

Children's skin allergies should be paid attention to

Young children are in the golden period of production and development, and their bodies are immature in all aspects. Therefore, when treating baby skin diseases, you must be careful not to use hormones, antihistamines, etc., as this will have adverse effects on the child's body. For example, nowadays babies use milk powder containing hormones, which causes the baby's physical development to be poor. Some even use too much hormones, and the child stops growing. The mother can use some physical methods: for example, she can change the child's clothes frequently and wash the bed sheets more often.
