Having pets in the house undoubtedly has a positive effect on the development of a child, but sometimes parents of small children face such a problem as allergies.
How to understand that a child is allergic to a dog? The condition of the skin will tell you about it, namely rashes on the skin, which, in addition, itch a lot.
You can also understand that something is wrong by the respiratory tract, which sends “signals” in the form of a severe runny nose, frequent sneezing, nasal congestion, swelling of the mucous membrane and irritation in the nasal cavity, as well as watery eyes.
Why are allergies dangerous in children?
The fact is that some types of allergic reactions can “flow over” with age, that is, transform into others.
If we talk about food allergies at an early age, then in the future it can develop into allergic rhinitis, bronchial asthma and other types of diseases.
Among doctors, this phenomenon is called the “allergic march.”
If we talk about dog allergies in children, then it may well be the first step of this “march”.
Therefore, the task of parents is to prevent the development of such a chain of events, which is undoubtedly undesirable, with the help of a pediatrician and pediatric allergist.
Earlier we talked about what kind of music can be played for newborn babies.
