WHY HAVE ALLERGIES INCREASED?
Awareness of allergies has also increased, but risk groups are also increasing at the same time. Air pollution, the foods we eat, etc. such risk factors increase allergies.
Symptoms of allergic asthma and flu;
itchy nose
runny nose
Cough that wakes you at night
Immediately after the flu, it descends to the lungs and makes wheezing.
Cough increases when running.
Sensitivity to odors
sneezing repeatedly
IF THE MOTHER AND FATHER HAVE ALLERGIC ASTHMA, DOES THE CHILD HAVE IT TOO?
If any of the parents have it, the probability of having it in the child is 30% to 50%. If both parents have it, this rate rises to 80%. In other words, if the parents are allergic, we already know that there is an 80% risk of developing an allergic disease when the child is born, and it is necessary to control the situation so that it does not progress.
FLU TRIGGERS ALLERGY, DO YOU RECOMMEND A FLU VACCINE?
Influenza vaccine The World Health Organization has some recommendations; We want those who are pregnant, children (over 6 months and 5 years old), those with chronic lung disease (such as asthma), blood disease, long-term liver disease, neurological or muscle disease to get the flu vaccine. Because these children have a high probability of progression of the disease or hospitalization, they should be vaccinated against the flu.
WHAT SHOULD THOSE WITH ALLERGY CONSIDER AT HOME?
We should use unscented detergent at home. We do not recommend fabric softener.
Anti-allergic sheaths should be used.
Normal duvet covers should be washed at 60 degrees once a week.
We have to remove the plush toys.
WHAT SHOULD THOSE WITH FOOD ALLERGY CONSIDER?
Skin test should be done first.
You should definitely not eat the allergen. You can go into a very serious shock.
If there is a mild allergen, we try it with the trial method.
Those who are allergic to eggs can also be allergic to chicken, and they should pay attention to this.
Individuals or children who are allergic to milk cannot eat yogurt. Except for yogurt; ayran, kefir, tarhana soup, butter, margarine, cheese, etc. They cannot eat foods containing milk. Since veal is a problem in one of every 10 people with cross-reaction, we also prevent veal in the first place. Because some of the ingredients are similar.
