What you don’t know about pollen allergy?

Don’t think that pollen allergy is a trivial matter. If you think so, you are totally wrong. If pollen allergy is not treated promptly and is delayed for a long time, it can easily lead to worsening of the condition. So how should we prevent pollen allergy?

1. Popularize common knowledge about pollen

If your baby is allergic to pollen, you must pay attention to the knowledge of pollen throughout the year. Spring is the season when tree pollen is widely spread, while in summer, it is mainly grass crops, and in autumn, it is the season when hemp, sunflower, castor and other pollen are spread. The season most likely to make babies allergic is spring. When the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming, the temperature is high, the air is dry, the wind speed is strong, and the amount of pollen diffusion is large. Children are also more vulnerable.

2. Introduction to pollen allergy

Pollen, which looks like a tiny thing, can actually cause very dangerous pollen allergies! Pollen allergy is also called hay fever, and is manifested by symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, itchy nose and eyes, and coughing. Children often develop pollen allergies after the age of 2 to 3. If your child suffers from pollen allergy, the following three manifestations will often appear: pollen allergy asthma, pollen allergy conjunctivitis, and pollen allergy rhinitis. Pollen allergy asthma is manifested by difficulty breathing, paroxysmal coughing, white foamy mucus, sudden asthma attacks, and it becomes more and more severe. After spring, it is no different from normal people. Children with pollen allergy conjunctivitis have swollen eyelids, itchy eyes, and often watery or purulent mucus secretions. Children with pollen allergic rhinitis have extremely itchy noses, sudden and continuous sneezing, nasal congestion, large amounts of mucus, and difficulty breathing.

3. The most effective way to prevent pollen allergy:

If you want to protect your baby from pollen, you can pay attention to the following aspects: For children who are allergic to pollen, taking medicine on time is the best choice. In seasons when the concentration of pollen in the air is high, you can take antihistamines such as chlorpheniramine regularly under the guidance of a doctor. For children with more serious pollen allergic rhinitis and pollen allergic asthma, hormones should be used. We all know that proper isolation of allergens is the best means of protection, so it is recommended that you reduce the chance of children being exposed to pollen, such as closing doors and windows during the pollination period; in the morning, when the pollen density in the air is high, try to postpone the time for children to go out in the morning, and do not let children do outdoor morning exercises; do not dry children's clothes and bedding outdoors; reduce outdoor activities; and take children out less on windy or sunny days.
