A disease such as allergies can occur in a person at any age. It is especially common in young children. Allergies in a child can be caused by poor environmental conditions, improper introduction of complementary foods, eating foods containing a large amount of dyes, preservatives and other chemicals, and much more. It is possible to determine an allergy in a child by some signs.
Instructions
Step 1
The appearance on the child's body of a rash in the form of small red pimples is a signal to see a doctor. Such a rash is a clear sign of an allergic reaction in a baby. Most often, pimples appear on the head, thighs, abdomen, armpits, and also on the folds and hands.
Step 2
An allergic rash can appear on the cheeks and body of the child in the form of rough spots. Over time, they can grow in size and become inflamed. If you notice such manifestations, do not self-medicate, immediately consult a doctor. He will examine the baby and make a conclusion about the presence or absence of allergies.
Step 3
A rash caused by an allergy in a child is usually accompanied by itching, which bothers the baby both day and night. The unpleasant sensations are aggravated by perspiration on her. The rash accompanying an allergy usually lasts a long time on the body.
Step 4
Do not try to treat your child's allergies yourself. This can lead to the emergence and development of purulent skin lesions due to the addition of a bacterial infection. This complication is associated with the characteristics of children's skin: its looseness and a tendency to swelling. In addition, the protective functions of a child's skin are significantly lower than that of an adult's skin. Therefore, at the first suspicion of an allergy, immediately show the baby to a pediatrician or pediatric allergist.
Step 5
In order to avoid allergic skin rashes in a child, provide him with proper care and nutrition. Ventilate the room he is in more often. Choose clothes for your baby made only from natural fabrics. Change the diaper in time and do not overheat the baby. Add chamomile infusion or string to the bath. And of course, follow your baby's diet.
