There are many red spots on the child's body

When a child has a lot of red spots on his body, parents should pay attention. There are many reasons for the red spots, the most common of which is allergy. For example, poor diet, adverse external influences, and sudden changes in weather may cause allergic reactions on the child's skin. At this time, it is best to go to the hospital for examination. A routine blood test can be done to rule out the possibility of infection and symptomatic medication should be used.

What to do if your baby is allergic

1. Prevent the vicious cycle of "itch-scratch-itch";

2. Maintain appropriate indoor temperature and humidity to avoid sweating;

3. Reduce excessive bathing and avoid using irritating soaps, and use moisturizer immediately after bathing;

4. Avoid eating foods that may cause skin allergies in children, such as peanuts, soybeans, eggs and milk;

5. Breastfeeding and adding complementary foods after 6 months can reduce the chance of food allergies.

Many common allergens are children’s favorite foods, beverages they usually drink, smells they like to smell, or places they often play, so they are often overlooked. Children often develop physical discomfort and behavioral problems soon after exposure to allergens.

Common allergenic foods include: milk and dairy products, flour, corn, eggs, sugar, tomatoes, potatoes, chocolate, yeast, food coloring, fruits, beef, pork, etc.

Common environmental allergens include: pollen, mold, dust, trees, tobacco, smoke, perfume, gasoline, paint, pesticides, cleaners, medicines, pets, carpets, etc.

Combined factors are more likely to cause allergies. Once the allergen is identified, further contact with the allergen should be stopped immediately and the allergic reaction will usually disappear naturally. Severe cases should be treated in hospital. The key to preventing allergies is to find the allergens, start from the allergens, and fundamentally improve the allergic constitution.

How to prevent baby allergies

The most effective step in preventing allergies in children is to keep them away from allergens in the environment and food, such as potted plants, dust mites, pet hair, stuffed or plush toys, carpets and tapestries. Parents should help their children stay away from allergens such as pollen as much as possible in their lives.

Secondly, in terms of young children's diet, it is best to breastfeed infants under one year old, and be careful about feeding children foreign protein foods such as milk, prawns, eggs, and seafood. Pregnant women should avoid eating foods containing allergens, or feed their babies low-allergen hydrolyzed protein infant formula. At the same time, delay the addition of complementary foods.

Again, exercise appropriately. Children should avoid strenuous exercise in dry and cold environments. For example, it is prohibited to engage in sustained and intense sports on ice and snow. However, exercise in warm environments, with high humidity or intermittent activity should be encouraged. When exercising, the principle is to avoid feeling chest tightness, shortness of breath, or physical discomfort. If you experience any symptoms, you should stop exercising and get more rest. Before engaging in exercise, you should do appropriate warm-up exercises.

In short, allergic disease is a chronic disease that seriously endangers children's health. Whether it is gastrointestinal symptoms (high incidence within 6 months), eczema (high incidence between 1-3 years old), asthma (high incidence after 3 years old), or allergic rhinitis (high incidence between 7-15 years old), it should be actively prevented, diagnosed early, and treated early.
