Skin allergies often manifest as itching and unbearable pain on the skin. Skin allergies are related to various factors. The health of babies is always one of the things that parents are concerned about. So, what are the reasons for skin allergies in two-year-old babies? What should I do if my two-year-old baby has skin allergies? Next, the editor will provide a detailed introduction for everyone.
What are the reasons for skin allergies in two-year-old babies
1. The baby has absorbed too much car exhaust. The main pollutants emitted from car exhaust are hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, and solid particulate matter. These exhaust gases cause significant irritation to the baby's respiratory tract, and these factors are likely to directly trigger allergies in the baby.
2. Caused by poor family hygiene. The carpets, mattresses, sofas, and other items used at home contain a large amount of fiber, which not only easily breeds mites but also directly stimulates the baby's respiratory tract. Mites pose a great threat to babies and can affect their health, so mothers must pay attention to the environment at home. Bedding for babies and household items should be changed frequently, and when the sun is good, they should be taken out and sun dried frequently.
3. Caused by furry pets. A survey by Japanese medical researchers shows that if babies under the age of one live in households that raise animals such as cats and rabbits, they are significantly more likely to develop allergic dermatitis. Because animal excrement and dander can easily cause skin allergies in babies.
What to do if a two-year-old baby has skin allergies
1. If a baby is allergic, do not let them scratch with your hands, but gently touch them to prevent the vicious cycle of "itch scratch itch".
2. After the baby is allergic, do not frequently give the baby a bath. During the bath, do not use irritating soap for the baby, and immediately give the baby a moisturizer after washing.
3. Maintain appropriate temperature and humidity in the baby's room. Do not always keep the baby in an air-conditioned room. If it is too hot, mothers can consider putting a basin of water in the room to reduce temperature and increase humidity.
4. Massaging the spring hole on the bottom of the baby's feet once a day, 30 to 50 times each time (by tapping or rubbing), or soaking the baby's feet in mugwort leaves, can relieve the baby's skin allergies.
5. Pressing the fontanelle on the baby's head can also have a relieving effect, but it should be noted that this method is only suitable for babies under 1 and a half years old. The specific method is for the father to cover the child's fontanelle with his own hands, because the father's strength is obviously higher than the mother's, covering for 15 to 30 minutes is enough. When pressing the fontanelle on the baby's head, it is important to drink a large amount of warm water. Remember not to give the baby hot water, as it can easily stimulate the weak nasal and throat mucosa, leading to mucosal congestion and decreased resistance.
The above is some content introduced by the editor about what to do if a two-year-old baby has skin allergies. I hope it is helpful to everyone. Here, the editor suggests that parents can give their babies some mung bean soup and red bean soup, which can effectively alleviate the symptoms of skin allergies in babies.
