Many parents face such a problem as an allergy on the face of their child. On the face of children, there is an allergic reaction in the form of rashes, red spots, and skin peeling. Also, the allergy may be manifested by swelling of the nasal mucosa, a cut in the eyes, sneezing and accompanied by a loose stool, constipation, heavy breathing, etc. By itself, the allergy on the face of babies is a protective reaction of the body to a particular allergen, because children have a weak immune system. Allergies in children should necessarily be treated, as with development, it can lead to such diseases as atopic dermatitis, Quincke's edema, bronchial asthma and others.
The most common allergens
The most common allergens are food products. For example, eggs, cow's milk, citrus fruits, nuts, seafood, etc. Also, allergies on the face can manifest in babies due to the use of certain medications (sulfonamides, local anesthetics, penicillin, sulfonamides, salicylates). Also common allergens are: plant pollens, house dust mites, mold fungi, dust, seasons, insect bites, chemicals, pets.
The main cause of allergy on the face in children is a weakened immune system. Most often, allergic reactions on the face of babies appear due to the introduction of a new food product in the menu. If you notice that the baby has an allergic reaction to the face, do not delay the visit to a dermatologist. In most cases, specialists in such cases make a diagnosis - diathesis. Do not let the disease worsen, otherwise the spots on the cheeks will become bright red, the diathesis may appear on other parts of the body. These wounds bring a lot of anxiety to the baby.
Treatment of allergies on the face
Treatment of this ailment in children in such cases is aimed at blocking allergens, to remove irritation. Better co-ordinated treatment than simply relieving symptoms. It is necessary to exclude contact with this or that allergen. With the repeated exposure of the allergen to the children's body, the reaction can be much worse.
Several areas include the treatment of allergies in children. First of all, a special diet is prescribed by a specialist. Diet is prescribed individually for each baby. Simultaneously, the treatment of concomitant diseases (often they are the cause of allergies). This is in most cases dyskinesia biliary tract, gastritis, intestinal dysbiosis. It is also necessary to treat skin on the face.
With local treatment of the skin, a dermatologist or an allergist prescribes medicinal preparations that help to relieve allergic inflammation, the remedies necessary for skin care. If the drugs are correctly selected, further complications of allergies and the transition of the disease to a chronic form can be avoided.
In addition to the use of external means, the internal treatment of the disease is carried out simultaneously. The fact is that many ointments affect only the appearance of allergies on the face. If you do not use internal treatment, the disease will still remain. If improper treatment can occur complications. For example, pathological changes in the nasopharyngeal mucosa, bronchi, gastrointestinal tract.
The specialist also prescribes antiallergic drugs for the child. They are prescribed strictly, depending on the age of the child. Antihistamines are usually prescribed during the acute course of the disease. The doctor should strictly control the intake of drugs.
The doctor in the treatment of allergy on the face of children should prescribe correction of concomitant diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. If concomitant diseases can not be cured, then this can cause a relapse of skin rashes. This is despite the fact that the proper skin care is carried out on the face and the corresponding diet is observed. If you have allergic reactions in children, be sure to contact a specialist.
