How to accurately determine that the baby is allergic and how to test what the baby is allergic to

In daily life, children's allergens are mainly divided into two categories: food and contact. Common food allergens include milk, eggs, fish and shrimp and other aquatic products, peanuts and other nut foods, beans and soy products, mangoes, kiwi fruits and other fruits. Common contact allergens are animal fur, pollen, chemicals, metal products.

1. Recurrent or slow onset of symptoms, which can last for 1 or 2 weeks, or occur in the same period of time every year. Symptoms may include a runny nose, nasal congestion, sneezing, throat clearing, and itchy and watery eyes.

2. Frequent coughing, wheezing, chest tightness, dyspnea and other respiratory symptoms may be signs of asthma. Cough can be an isolated symptom, but if it worsens at night or after exercise, it may be asthma.

3. The folds of the elbow joint or knees, or the back of the neck, arms, wrists or ankles are red, itchy, dry, and sometimes scaly red rashes.

4. A type of symptoms often occur after eating a certain food, including urticaria, edema, retching, cough or difficulty breathing, vomiting or severe abdominal pain.

5. At some point in the year or after eating certain foods, there is an itchy or stinging sensation in the mouth, throat and/or ears.

Frequent allergic reactions can have a detrimental impact on a child's life and affect the child's growth and development. However, allergic reactions can be prevented, as long as parents can pay attention to reducing their children's exposure to allergens in their daily life, they can effectively prevent the occurrence of allergic reactions. If your child has a severe allergic reaction, it is important to seek medical attention in time to prevent more serious problems from occurring.

The baby's allergic reaction mainly includes **, respiratory, gastrointestinal, and nervous system symptoms.

1.In infancy, if there is an allergic reaction, the baby will not describe it, and it can be judged in combination with the baby's clinical manifestations. Infant allergies may have symptoms, such as redness, pimples, papules, itching, and even blisters, oozing, etc., and in severe cases, it will also cause redness and swelling of the face, chest and back.

2.Some babies will have respiratory symptoms, such as runny nose, sneezing, coughing, and asthma, which are similar to cold symptoms.

3.Gastrointestinal symptoms may occur, such as nausea and vomiting, loss of appetite, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and some babies will have symptoms such as constipation and gastrointestinal bleeding.

4.Some babies may have neurological symptoms, such as restless sleep, easy awakening, and in severe cases, it will lead to increased heart rate, loss of will, and shock, and need to be rescued in time.

In summary, the symptoms caused by allergies are varied, and it is recommended to analyze them according to the baby's own situation. If the symptoms are more obvious, you need to seek medical attention in time to avoid delaying the disease.

Allergen Test Methods:

There are two commonly used and feasible methods: food recording and ** trial.

1.Food recording method: record the types of food eaten each month, such as rice, eggs, shrimp, chicken, cucumbers, tomatoes, etc., the time of ingestion (such as month, day, hour, etc.), and the time of urticaria.

When urticaria occurs, the relationship between food and urticaria can be found in the records. In general, more attention should be paid to the food eaten 12-24 hours before the occurrence of urticaria, although the method is simple and easy to master, but it is difficult to get accurate results.

2.Test: This type of examination can generally be done in a specialist or respiratory department, the method is simple, and the child is not uncomfortable.

Inhale skin test solutions containing milk, rice, soybeans, etc., with an empty needle, and make multiple punctures on the upper arm to observe allergic reactions to a variety of foods. However, due to the complex digestion and absorption of food in the body, the physiological and biochemical changes that occur cannot all be reflected in the process, so the results obtained, even if positive, need to be comprehensively analyzed to finally determine whether it is the food that causes allergies. To determine a food allergy, several methods must be comprehensively analyzed and combined with clinical practice to finally determine whether a certain food needs to be stopped.

Even if you stop eating a certain food, it should not be too long, and at the same time, you should not stop eating too much, so as not to affect the child's growth and health.
