Signs of allergies in babies:
In a favorable condition, our body’s immune system started reacting abnormally to the things that are harmful to us, in such conditions allergic reactions occur.
Mostly the signs or symptoms of allergies are very mostly depending on the individual and the type of allergy.
Older children and adults can have many types of allergies but babies are much less likely than them.
The reason behind this is that adults keep exposing themselves place by place whereas babies don’t do so because you have to be exposed to something before becoming allergic to them.
Let’s discuss specific allergies which a baby can have;
● SEASONAL:
Allergies usually caused by pollen, weeds, trees, and grasses are considered seasonal allergies. These types of allergies are seen to be very rare in babies, these aren’t seen until babies are 2 or 3 years old.
The main cause of this allergy is mainly plant-based allergens.
Its symptoms may include;
1. Sneezing.
When anything like dust, pollen, and like enters your baby’s nose this can irritate their nasal passages and make them sneeze.
If you want to make your baby free from this symptom then the best way is to keep your baby out of the reach of the triggering materials.
If your baby is sneezing then kindly contact the doctor on time because [babies are very weak internally] this can harm him much.
2. Itchy and watery eyes.
In such conditions, the baby’s body starts overreacting to something which is usually harmful to them.
During these conditions, the body’s immune system releases some types of antibodies which cause the baby’s eyes to release histamine and other unwanted substances.
This reason is responsible for the itchy and watery eyes in babies.
Nasal allergies in babies can also be responsible for their itchy and watery eyes.
If your baby is suffering from this symptom then this can be decreased.
If this type of condition occurs then try to flush the eyes gently with cool water. Either you may use the eye drops but this is not over here.
It is necessary to consult a doctor in this situation.
3. Coughing.
This symptom can be one of the most irritating symptoms of seasonal allergy, this can be caused by what is known as the postnasal drip.
When the baby’s nasal passage is irritated by pollen, inflamed membranes produce excessive fluid.
The Reason which gives rise to a dry cough is this builds up and drops down to the throat with irritation in it.
The better recommendation for the cause of babies’ cough is antihistamines which lessen their body’s reaction to pollen.
Sometimes this can be cured by the medicines produced by the baby’s body’s immune system but this can be used on a short time basis.
It is suitable to consult a doctor so that he/she prefers the best medicine after examining the baby’s condition.
● Environmental allergies.
Some suitable substances found in our environment can make babies allergic-like ‘’pollen’’ which is released by trees, grasses, and weeds in our environment.
