Protect your children from common allergens

If you or your partner has an allergy, then there is a huge chance that it will be passed on to your child. And if you already know how to protect your body from the effects of allergens, then children can not know about it, so you need to do your best to protect them. Cure allergy is impossible, so prevention is your best weapon. Allergens are your child's worst enemies, so your task is to protect children from contact with allergens that have the greatest impact on him.

Cigarette smoke

Even if your child does not have allergies to cigarette smoke, you should still not tolerate even passive smoking, since this smoke can significantly increase allergies and lead to a fit of asthma.

Linens

You must buy the child exclusively anti-allergic bed linen, and also wash it at least once a week at high temperature, and then dry it in the hot air.

Pets

Allergies are not a ban on pets, especially if the case is not particularly severe. The most important thing is not to let the pets into the bedroom to the child and not let him contact the animal. Naturally, you definitely should not start new pets, but those that you already have, you do not need to rush to give or throw away - because you are responsible for those who have tamed.

Stuffed Toys

Unfortunately, you will have to limit your child's contact with soft toys, as they can also cause an allergic reaction. If your child still wants to sleep in an embrace with your beloved bear, then make sure that this toy can be washed and dried at high temperatures. If this is not possible, you need to freeze the toy for at least two days before allowing the child to contact her.

Cleaning

You will need to wipe the dust, vacuum and wash the floor in your child's room, and do this at least twice a week. Too frequent cleaning also does not bring additional benefits, like the rare - all this will only cause additional harm.

Pillows and bedspreads

As with the rest of things, you will need to replace the pillows and bedspreads in the child's room with materials and objects that tolerate frequent washing at high temperatures.

Routine

Make sure that your child knows absolutely everything about allergies, allergens that are most harmful to him, and also about asthma. Try to talk to him about it as often as possible, remind him of what he has forgotten, and also make sure that you and your child always have a set in case of an attack of asthma.

School and camp

If your child goes to school for the first time or goes to summer camp, contact the institution's management in advance and provide a list of allergens that your child has a reaction to. Do not forget to add an action plan in case of an attack of asthma, if the child can not cope with it himself.

Air quality at school

School is the place where your child will spend most of his time after home. But if at home you can control everything yourself, then in school this can not be done. However, this does not mean that you should leave the child there for no reason - first of all, you will need to check the air quality in the school by contacting the appropriate authorities. This is quite legal, and so you can find out if the school is suitable for your child, whether it is necessary to make changes there, and if so, which ones. The school's management is obliged to take all necessary measures to improve the air quality in the school so that your child can easily study there without experiencing difficulties or discomfort.
