The truth about children's allergies

One-fifth of the world's children suffer from some form of allergy, but sometimes parents are unaware of the existence of the disease from their children. What gets them confused?

 The truth about children's allergies


It is necessary to ask an adult to name specific allergy, he almost did not hesitate to enumerate: sneezing, runny nose, red eyes, cough, skin rash (in children they are expressed, usually in the form of a diathesis).

That's right, except for one "but": there are cases where allergies in children   It has a completely different form, so parents take her for another disease. For example, a food allergy in a child is often characterized by lethargy, bloating, diarrhea. Chair becomes watery and more frequent to six times per day.

Traditionally, adults write off such a bad state of the bowels, and trying to alleviate the condition of the child, give him different antidiarrheal drugs. Indeed, external disease first retreats, but in fact only the symptoms disappear, and disease continues to evolve.

Insidious allergies
Food allergies - a form of food intolerance and occurs in 8-10% of infants .  Food allergy is most often seen in the form of atopic dermatitis .  However, in some cases, they may experience nausea, vomiting, persistent diarrhea, abdominal pain .  Typically, food allergens serves milk and products of protein origin (fish, nuts, eggs, etc. . P . ) .  Once in the body, they cause not only allergic reactions of the skin, but also cause a violent reaction of the mucous membrane of the digestive tract .  And "gastrointestinal symptoms" may be ahead of the other symptoms of allergies .  Parents regard this as banal diarrhea "food indigestion" or mild food poisoning and diarrhea are trying to stop the child antidiarrheal drugs .  As a result, diarrhea stops, but since its true cause is not eliminated, there may be recurrence of diarrhea and complications of dermatological problems, from which escape is much harder .

How to act if a child diarrhea?
First of all adults must realize that random failures in the body does not happen, so if diarrhea began without apparent reason (for example, frankly substandard products), as soon as possible address to the allergist. The specialist will examine the nature of bowel disorders, identify and appoint an allergen diet. Usually in such cases, doctors also prescribe symptomatic treatment to completely withdraw the allergen from the intestine. For this purpose enterosorbent Enterosgel, as it allowed for acceptance of the children from the first days of life, and has a special activity to the allergen and toxic substances. Enterosgel absorbs stimulus and keeps it up to full elimination from the body.

Antihistamines with food allergies are usually not used prophylactically. It is usually sufficient to adhere to an appropriate diet and to periodically clean the intestines adsorbents. In rare cases, the simultaneous use of antihistamines and enterosorbent, but such decisions are made by a doctor.

If you do everything according to the requirements of a specialist, allergies in children can be eradicated altogether. The fact that almost all children have the unique property just "outgrow" it, you just need to protect the baby from irritants.
