Childhood Asthma And Eczema
UK: Common childhood allergies?
I have to write an assignment on common childhood allergies and those relevant to specific children. I've got allergies such as hayfever, food allergies, asthma, eczema. Is there anything else and how could I talk about them being relevant to specific children?
I'm confused.
Thanks in advance
I'm confused as well, I wasn't aware of specific allergies that occur only in children. As for allergies my daughter has a dairy one which makes her vomit and my son also is allergic to dairy but in him it comes out the other way, he also has eczema which cleared up while on a complete wheat free diet, when on a semi normal diet his skin gets very dry.
Dealing With Asthma
If you have asthma, the inside walls of your airways become sore and swollen. When your asthma symptoms become worse than usual, it's called an asthma attack. In a severe asthma attack, the airways can close so much that your vital organs do not get enough oxygen.
This chain reaction can result in asthma symptoms. The condition should be taken seriously, since uncontrolled asthma may result in emergency hospitalization and possible death. Unfortunately, many asthma sufferers treat asthma attacks only, which are brought on by a number of triggers.
Asthma is treated with two kinds of medicines: quick-relief medicines to stop asthma symptoms and long-term control medicines to prevent symptoms. Asthma is an inflammatory disorder of the airways, which causes attacks of wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, and coughing. When an asthma attack occurs, the muscles surrounding the airways become tight and the lining of the air passages swell.
Most people with asthma have wheezing attacks separated by symptom-free periods. Asthma attacks can last minutes to days and can become dangerous if the airflow becomes severely restricted. In sensitive individuals, asthma symptoms can be triggered by breathing in allergy-causing substances called allergens or triggers.
Sometimes asthma is called bronchial asthma. Asthma in children is on the rise, but with proper treatment for symptoms of asthma, kids and adults can live well. A new study shows that babies born four months before the peak of winter virus season are more likely to develop childhood asthma than babies born at any other time of year.
Asthma symptoms can also be triggered by respiratory infections, exercise, cold air, tobacco smoke and other pollutants, stress, food, or drug allergies. Aspirin and other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications NSAIDS provoke asthma in some patients. Many people with asthma have an individual or family history of allergies, such as hay fever allergic rhinitis or eczema.
