What to do if your baby is allergic?

The baby's physical constitution is relatively sensitive, and its stomach and intestines are in the process of development. Therefore, the baby is prone to allergies. They often have allergic symptoms due to external stimulation, diet, etc., such as skin eczema, urticaria, etc. Treatment should be carried out in time. If the condition is serious, some ointments can be used. When using ointments, be sure to follow the doctor's advice and also be sure to avoid the baby scratching.

What to do if your baby has skin allergies

Tip 1: Prevent scratching behavior

Baby skin allergies are usually accompanied by itching symptoms, and the baby can't help scratching. The more itchy it is, the more severe it becomes. If the baby is allowed to behave like this, it will form a vicious cycle of "itching - scratching - more itching - scratching again".

Trick 2: Clean saliva and sweat in time

If your baby spits, wipe it off immediately. In addition, it is necessary to maintain appropriate temperature and humidity in the room to avoid sweating and to prevent saliva and sweat from causing secondary irritation to the baby's fragile skin.

Tip 3: Stay away from allergenic elements

If your baby has skin allergies, keep him away from allergenic environments, such as pollen, mold, dust, trees, tobacco, smoke, perfume, gasoline, paint, pesticides, detergents, medicines, pets, carpets and other allergenic factors.

Tip 4: Use moisturizing products after bathing

If your baby has skin allergies, reduce excessive bathing and avoid using irritating soaps. After bathing your baby, immediately use a moisturizing product that is mild, non-irritating, and can mildly treat baby's skin allergies.

Trick 5: Go to the hospital to identify allergens

There are many factors that cause allergies. Who is causing allergies to your baby? It is best for mothers to take their babies to the hospital for allergen testing. Once the allergen is identified, continued contact with the allergen should be stopped immediately and the allergic reaction will usually disappear naturally.

Symptoms of baby skin allergies

Baby skin allergies are mainly caused by improper diet, mood swings or inappropriate skin care products, which lead to skin allergy problems such as redness, dryness, itching, spots, eye swelling, peeling or acne on the skin surface. The symptoms of baby skin allergies in infancy and childhood are also different:

1. Symptoms in infancy:

Dryness, redness and peeling of the cheeks may extend to the face, neck, wrists, hands, abdomen and limbs. The itching makes the baby restless and has difficulty sleeping.

2. Childhood symptoms (2-12 years old):

Children mainly suffer from dermatitis on the flexor sides of the limbs, including the elbows, armpits, neck, wrists and ankles, and scratching may also lead to secondary bacterial or viral infections.

Most of these common allergies in babies occur 2-3 months after birth and gradually improve when they are 3-5 years old.
