Allergies in children: recognition, management and advice for parents
Allergies are common in children and can affect their daily lives.
Thus, early recognition and management of allergies is critical for the health and well-being of the child.
First, you need to recognize the symptoms. Carefully record the symptoms you notice when the child comes into contact with certain foods or substances. Symptoms of an allergic reaction include itching, redness of the skin, skin irritation, possible difficulty breathing, and a sudden feeling of weakness/weakness.
You should immediately, consult a pediatrician or allergist for diagnosis and evaluation of allergic factors.
If symptoms are specific, try to avoid exposure to allergens such as specific foods, dust, and pets. If food allergies are involved, plan a diet rich in healthy foods that do not include the known allergens for the patient.
It is important to inform teachers, parents, and other children in the child's environment about the child's allergies. At school, make sure there is nutrition labeling about any allergies so that specific foods are avoided.
Finally, work with your doctor on the appropriate way to deal with allergic reactions, including medication in case of an emergency.
