Age is important
As a rule, by the age of 4 skin manifestations of food allergy disappear in 80% of children. A skin reaction to food arose on the 2nd or 3rd year? The probability that the baby will get rid of it for preschool age, is reduced to 66%. Otherwise, the diathesis will develop into atopic dermatitis. This skin disease occurs in every third child who suffers from allergies, and in 70% of cases, he gets a whole bunch of others like himself: bronchial asthma, hay fever, urticaria, an allergic rhinitis ... This occurs because the immune systems formed during atopic dermatitis complexes attack special target cells located in the skin, on the mucous membranes of the respiratory tract, the gastrointestinal tract and in the pancreas.There is an allergic inflammation that leads to the bronchi Flax asthma, gastritis, enterocolitis, pancreatitis ... prevent them will help hypoallergenic diet, which will pick up the baby doctor and mother task - not to deviate from dietary instructions and be able to relieve the itching.
Remove itching
It can be excruciating and intensified if the baby is nervous, worried or too warmly dressed. But many mothers try to insulate children, just a breeze will blow ... Scientists have paid attention to a curious fact: diathesis in a baby can appear on any part of the face and body, and after a year of rash appear in certain places - on the folds of hands, feet and neck . The affected skin becomes dry, covered with knots, which the baby frantically combs. Keep the house cool (18-20 ° C). If there is no air conditioner, turn on the fan: when the breeze walks around the house, the skin manifestations of the allergy give the child less anxiety.
We treat with affection
Observe the safety of allergens in the kitchen! Cook steamed, boiled, stewed or baked in the oven - with heat treatment (but not frying!), Foods lose most of the allergens. Steep in cold water a rump and finely chopped potatoes 10-12 hours, and other vegetables - 1-2 hours. Boil the meat twice: first pour it with cold water, bring to a boil and leave for 20-30 minutes, and then drain the broth, fill the pan with hot water and cook the meat until cooked. The doctor recommended to lubricate skin manifestations with allergy cream? Gently apply the swab to the inflamed skin, hold it, and then remove and discard. Next, apply fresh - and so on until you treat the affected area with dermatitis. Do not feel sorry for tampons and do not forget to talk gently with the baby.
The stone has got
When you give your baby a cherry or cherries, you, of course, pull out bones from them. But if a crumb suddenly swallow one, do not panic - it's okay! If this happens, the bone will safely follow the digestive tract and leave in about a day. Track and make sure! If the baby swallowed a small sharp object with jagged edges - take the child to the hospital! Do not give laxative - feed soft bulk food - mashed potatoes, porridge, jelly, wiped baked apple. Do you have an excitable kid who rushes like a hurricane, and then he's upset, crying, falling asleep badly? Phytotherapy will help the baby to become calmer. Course - 3-4 weeks, and if necessary, and longer (up to 2 months).
