Is the nose of an allergic child more accurate than a weather forecast machine? Three tips from doctors to combat allergies, starting from getting up
Do children’s allergies turn into human weather forecast machines? Dr. Wu Hanmeng from the Pediatric Chest Department recently shared his outpatient experience on the Facebook fan page "Dr. Abao accompanies you to raise your baby - Pediatrics Dr. Wu Hanmeng". Parents of allergic children only need to see their children in the morning and tweet. When allergies attack, you know the weather has changed again or is about to get colder. Some parents even exclaimed, "Doctor! My child's nose is so accurate. As soon as the nose starts to run, it means something is going to change!" The doctor explained that the bodies of children with allergies are particularly sensitive to changes in the environment, and the nasal mucosa is relatively Relatively fragile. When the body feels the effects of changes in temperature and humidity, it is easy to develop allergic symptoms. This is why when the weather changes, the noses of allergic children are more accurate than the weather forecast machine! It feels distressing for children to wear masks all day long. Three anti-allergy countermeasures start "early". Doctors said that many parents get up in the morning to help their children wear masks to keep warm. However, many parents will feel reluctant to let their children wear masks whether at home or out. Considering that the morning is the most likely time to trigger allergies during the season change, doctors have specially compiled 3 anti-allergy countermeasures for children after getting up, hoping that children can avoid the chance of allergies caused by the weather starting early in the morning! A new concept in allergy care: Take good care of your body starting from breakfast. "For children with allergies, the focus is to continue to cultivate good bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract." The doctor further explained that the gastrointestinal tract is the front line of immunity, so as long as the intestines are taken care of, there is a chance to alleviate allergies. Doctors suggest that the most direct way to maintain intestinal health is through diet. You can prepare more fruits rich in vitamin C for breakfast every day. If your child has allergies, remember to prepare yogurt containing LP bacteria to keep the intestines healthy. Bacteria help balance immune cells, so that children can have good immunity against uncontrollable external environments even when they go out. Parents should learn to watch the temperature and humidity and keep warm before allergy attacks. Doctors say that in addition to watching the weather in the daily weather forecast, parents of allergic children should also know how to watch the humidity and temperature. When the highest and lowest temperature of the day exceeds 7 degrees and the humidity falls between 70% and 80%, children's allergies are easily induced. The doctor explained that usually when children wake up from bed, they will sneeze and have a runny nose due to the temperature difference in the room. It is recommended that 30 minutes before the child wakes up, you can turn on a dehumidifier to control the humidity below 55%, or you can help the child turn on the heating. Or keep a coat ready by the bed at any time. Adjusting the temperature is less likely to be affected by the temperature difference between hot and cold as soon as you get up. Teach children to touch their necks to put on and take off coats to reduce the external environment*** The temperature in spring is unstable, and parents are always worried about not being able to be with their children at all times. They are also worried that children will sweat if they don't take off their thick clothes, or they will take off their clothes because they feel hot indoors. I dropped it and accidentally caught a cold when I went out to play. It is suggested that parents can teach their children to learn to judge their own body temperature when putting on and taking off clothes, such as touching the back of their neck. If they feel too hot, remember to take off a coat. If they feel too cold, they should quickly put on a thin coat. And prepare more vests or jackets for children that are easy to put on and take off to match the temperature changes throughout the day, so that children can feel the temperature difference by themselves and reduce the impact of environmental changes.
The temperature in early spring is unstable. If a series of allergic reactions are caused by temperature changes, in addition to paying attention to the environment in the morning***, don’t forget to adjust your physical condition through your daily diet. I believe everyone can survive the seasonal allergies more smoothly! FB fan page: Dr. Abao will accompany you to raise your baby - Pediatric Wuhan Meng Doctor
