What are the preventive measures for children's pollen allergy?

Children's skin is relatively fragile and very sensitive, and everyone's skin type is different. The phenomenon that some children are allergic to pollen makes many parents very distressed. Spring is the season when flowers bloom and pollen is spread. So how can we prevent it at this time?

1. Diet

(1) Drink more water during the allergy period, but do not drink cold water. If your child does not have any special reaction to yogurt, he or she can drink yogurt frequently, because the lactic acid bacteria in yogurt can improve and alleviate the symptoms of allergies.

(2) Eat light meals and fruits and vegetables, eat more foods rich in vitamins, and avoid eating fruits and vegetables such as mushrooms and strawberries.

(3) Avoid eating spicy and greasy foods, as these foods are usually irritating and will aggravate allergic symptoms.

(4) Avoid eating foods that may cause allergies, such as fish, shrimp, crab, etc. Because these foods contain a lot of foreign proteins, they can also cause allergies.

2. Environment

(1) Children with allergies should not go out in windy or sunny weather. They should also try to avoid tourist spots with lush flowers and plants when traveling.

(2) Avoid suspected or known allergens. If children play on the grass or in the garden for a long time, parents should control them.

(3) Take protective measures when going out, such as covering yourself with a scarf or wearing goggles to reduce the chance of your eyes and respiratory tract coming into contact with pollen.

(4) If the flowers and plants planted at home can cause allergic symptoms, they should be dealt with promptly to keep children who are prone to allergies away from pollen environments.

3. Home

(1) After returning home from a trip, parents should remind their children to change their clothes promptly and wash their faces and hands immediately.

(2) Children’s clothing, bed sheets and other items should be dried indoors as much as possible. If conditions permit, use a clothes dryer and try to avoid hanging clothes outdoors.

(3) You can install an air purifier at home to effectively reduce indoor dust and protect children’s respiratory system.

(4) Always keep anti-allergic drugs at home in case of emergency.

If your child shows symptoms of pollen allergy, parents must take timely measures. If they are unsure, they should go to the hospital for help immediately to avoid worsening of the condition. When a child is sick, parents should remain calm, because the child's body will be very uncomfortable during the allergy period. If parents cannot relax, it will indirectly cause stress to the child. If your child has allergies, parents need to take them to the hospital for allergen testing as soon as possible to prevent allergies from occurring again.

In life, for children who are allergic to pollen, parents should not take their children to places with flowers or places with a lot of cotton wool, as these are very harmful to the skin, so everyone should pay careful attention to the children.
