Children with protein allergy and eczema

Children's bodies have not formed a complete defense mechanism, and they are very prone to diseases, which hinders their physical development. Among them, many children suffer from protein allergies and eczema, which has a serious adverse effect on their lives and physical development. In particular, protein allergies can cause malnutrition in children. Let's take a look at what to do if children are allergic to protein and have eczema? I hope everyone can understand it.

Is baby eczema a protein allergy?

Because some babies have congenital hyperallergic constitution due to genetic factors, the body's response to antigens is abnormally enhanced, resulting in allergic reactions, leading to the occurrence of eczema. Different food proteins cause different areas of eczema in infants. If you are allergic to milk, red spots, papular eczema will first appear on the head and face, covered with scabs, and then spread to the chest, back and limbs. If you are allergic to egg protein, you will have very moist small papules on the ears and both sides of the joints of the limbs that are prone to friction. They will exude a lot of water and form scabs after erosion.

Nursing measures for baby eczema

1. Pay close attention to the baby's digestive status Breastfeeding: Mothers should pay attention to whether the baby is allergic to foods such as milk, eggs, fish and shrimp. Mothers should avoid eating such foods that are likely to cause allergies. You should pay attention to your diet and avoid certain foods, such as milk, crucian carp soup, fresh shrimps, crabs and other induced foods, and eat more soy products, such as soy milk and other heat-clearing foods. Do not eat irritating foods, such as garlic, onions, peppers, etc., to prevent irritating substances from entering the breast milk and aggravating the baby's eczema. Milk feeding: If the eczema is caused by an allergy to a foreign protein caused by milk feeding, you can put a little sugar in the milk and cook the milk for a little longer to denature the protein. In addition, you can appropriately increase the amount of complementary foods such as milk cakes and soy flour and reduce the amount of milk, and the baby's eczema will be alleviated.

2. Try to find and avoid allergens and prevent irritating substances from contacting the skin. Do not wash the affected area with alkaline soap or overly hot water. You can wash with water boiled with honeysuckle, and then apply baby moisturizer. If the eczema on the body or limbs is severe, do not take a bath in the tub for the time being, and apply medicine immediately after washing.

3. The environment and clothing should be adjusted to avoid direct sunlight, and the room temperature should not be too high, otherwise the itching of eczema will be aggravated. Clothes and quilts should not be too thick, clothes should be loose and preferably made of pure cotton. Avoid contact between sweaters and other items and your skin, as this can irritate the skin and aggravate eczema.
