Children's hives

Compared with adults, children are not only very weak, but also very fragile. Children's skin, in particular, is much more sensitive than that of adults. Such factors also cause many skin diseases to be more likely to occur in children. Bill said that urticaria is a skin disease with a high incidence in children, especially in spring and summer, when the incidence of urticaria in children is higher.

Urticaria in children is caused by allergies to certain things. Its main manifestation is itchy skin, and small red papules will immediately appear on the skin surface after scratching. The onset of the disease is very rapid. In order to better prevent the occurrence of urticaria in children, parents first need to understand its cause.

1. Food: Both animal food, such as fish, shrimp, crab, eggs, beef, mutton, dairy products, etc., and plant food, such as pineapple, mushroom, broad bean, garlic, strawberry, tomato, etc., can cause urticaria, but animal food and dairy products are the most common ones. Additives in food, such as cold drinks, soda, ice cream, cakes, chocolate and other foods that children often like to eat, are often the cause of chronic urticaria that cannot be ignored because they contain a wide range of food additives.

2. Drugs: About 14% of drug-induced dermatitis presents as urticaria, which shows that drugs are an important cause of urticaria. Common drugs include penicillin and penicillins, followed by sulfonamides, tetracyclines, furazolidone, aspirin and other antipyretics, sedatives and sleeping pills, whether taken orally or injected intravenously or intramuscularly, can induce urticaria.

3. Infection: Various infections, especially in children, are often accompanied by urticaria. For example, purulent tonsillitis, otitis media, pyoderma, toothache, alveolar abscess, upper respiratory tract infection, pharyngitis, hepatitis, parasitic diseases, gastroenteritis, etc. are common inducing factors.

4. Physical and chemical factors: such as cold, heat, sun exposure, squeezing, friction, scratching and humidity often cause urticaria.

5. Inhalation or contact with objects: such as pollen, mold spores in the air, animal dander and feathers, insect bites, and chemical fiber fabrics worn.

6. Blood transfusion and blood products: various antitoxin sera, globulin, albumin, etc.
