Allergies in the child: symptoms, signs and diet

As you know, an allergic reaction in a person can be provoked by anything: medicinal preparations, saliva and animal hair, pollen of plants. However, pediatricians note that most often there is a food allergy in children. Symptoms, as already mentioned above, are very diverse: someone's son is covered with a rash, having eaten a carefully suggested chocolate, someone's baby suffers from stomach pains, after trying the strawberry, the third kid begins to grow blue and suffocate, having tried an ordinary boiled egg. All listed cases are combined by a common diagnosis: an allergy in a child. Symptoms, as you might guess, are always noticeable to the naked eye, you can not confuse them with anything. Can you somehow guess that your son or daughter is predisposed to allergic reactions? Who is at risk?

Predisposition

According to doctors, intolerance to a product is often associated with frequent cases of diarrhea and a cold in the baby. And also with a slow development. Children-asthmatics also often react painfully to many dishes and smells.

Term

It should be noted that the phrase "food allergy", in fact, is a meaningless set of words. About what is an allergy in a child whose symptoms can frighten an unprepared person, you know. However, how is its mechanism launched? The immune system of a small patient reacts to certain specific substances contained in food (most often these are protein molecules). The increased sensitivity of the body can be explained only by regular contact with the allergen for not a couple of days, but several years. Simply put, you can give your child chocolate sweets for years, not suspecting that in reality he does not tolerate them. But then, when the body "explodes", the smallest amount of chocolate will be enough for the child, for example, to become stained.

Allergies in the child: symptoms

The main danger of allergic reactions is precisely that they manifest themselves in different ways. "Response" to unsuitable food may appear immediately in the form of urticaria or swelling, but it can also become a "time bomb" and manifest itself much later eczema or neurodermatitis. Yes, the development of these diseases is also capable of provoking an allergy in a child. Symptoms often masquerade as something else, in this case, after the child eats something that is not allowed, you can notice his fever, lethargy, severe fatigue, like a cold.

Baby's diet

What products can be considered potentially dangerous? According to the doctors-allergists, very often allergic reactions are caused by dairy products, as well as all types of cereals. But vegetables and potatoes are almost always well tolerated (with the exception of fennel and celery, it is better to remove them from the children's table). Feel free to offer the baby fruit, but in reasonable quantities. Try not to overfeed it with citrus, strawberries and strawberries. In general, fruits and vegetables are best served on the table not in raw form, but in stewed, as when heated many fruit allergens are destroyed. Do not forget about the presence of pseudoallergic reactions. If you doubt what allergies in children, symptoms, photos and methods of treatment can be found in your doctor.
