What should I do if my child has facial allergies?

Facial allergies in children are a type of skin allergy. Skin allergies are caused by many reasons, which may be family inheritance, physical constitution problems, or accidental contact with allergens. The growth process of children is very important. We should not only care about their health, but also pay attention to their psychology. Therefore, if you discover skin allergies, you should find solutions early to avoid leaving a shadow on your child's mind. Below, the editor will introduce to you several methods to treat children’s facial allergies, hoping it will be helpful to everyone.

Once children suffer from symptoms of skin allergies, they must not scratch the affected area. Doing so will often aggravate skin inflammation and lead to secondary infections of other diseases. Scratching will also cause bleeding, scabbing, and desquamation, which will make it difficult to sleep all night, seriously affecting the quality of sleep, and thus affecting work, study, and life.

In daily life, we should be careful to avoid food allergens. Common allergenic foods include milk and dairy products, flour, corn, eggs, sugar, tomatoes, potatoes, chocolate, yeast, food coloring, fruits, beef, pork, etc.

There are also a large number of allergens in the air environment, and since these substances are mixed in the air, it is difficult to avoid them. Therefore, patients should try not to go out. They can use Shengyang mother-and-child-grade air purifiers at home to purify these allergens and keep the room clean.

Do not abuse skin care products and ointments for random treatment. You need to choose appropriate ointments for treatment under the guidance of a doctor, and sometimes even intravenous infusion is required.

It is best not to use a washing machine to wash clothes for children during the allergy period. It would be best to use hot water above 45° to disinfect the clothes, because some molds will not die until the temperature is above 45°.

I believe that after the editor’s introduction, everyone should have a certain understanding of what to do if children have allergies on their faces. However, everyone also needs to pay attention that under normal circumstances, if there are allergens, allergens will accompany children throughout their lives, so taking children to check for allergens will be of great help in reducing harm to children.
