Why are children allergic?
summary
Children's allergy is an abnormal or pathological immune reaction caused by the stimulation of antigenic substances (also known as allergens), such as pollen, dust, food, drugs, parasites, etc. The common allergic diseases are allergic rhinitis, allergic asthma and allergic skin diseases. Now let's talk about the causes of children's allergy?
Why are children allergic?
The results are as follows: 1. 80% - 90% of children's asthma first symptoms occur before the age of 4-5 years old, and children's asthma, especially infants and young children's asthma, due to the short course of disease, mild airway inflammation, pathological changes are often in a reversible stage. Therefore, the treatment effect is good. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out early intervention with anti asthmatic drugs. A course of treatment should be at least one year before the possibility of radical cure can be achieved.
2. Many parents and doctors often refuse to admit that the children with recurrent wheezing are asthma and prefer to be diagnosed as tracheitis, bronchitis, etc. Antibiotics are widely used in clinical treatment. Although antibiotics can kill bacteria, they can not eliminate allergic inflammation of asthma, thus delaying the precious opportunity of early diagnosis and treatment.
3. In the traditional concept of many parents and some doctors, they are afraid of corticosteroids and refuse to use them. At present, in the latest international asthma conference "Global Initiative for asthma prevention and treatment" (GINA specification for short), the inhaled corticosteroid therapy is only 200-400 μ g per day, which is only 1 / 100 of the dose of prednisone. Therefore, the international asthma community unanimously recognized that corticosteroid inhalation therapy is the most effective drug to control recurrent attacks of chronic asthma.
matters needing attention
"Allergic children" can be prevented. Many factors affect whether a child will become an "allergic child" before the child is born or even before a new life is formed. Therefore, the prevention of allergic children should begin with premarital consultation. Genetic studies have proved that: one of the parents has allergic diseases, and the possibility of their children becoming "allergic children" is 60%; Both parents were allergic patients, and the possibility of "allergic children" increased to 80%; In contrast, only 19% of children whose parents have no allergic diseases are likely to become "allergic children".
