Treatment of diathesis in children and the course of the disease

Some children from the very infancy are suffering from a permanent rash, a cold, then from asthma and other allergic diseases, and parents provide them with excellent and proper nutrition, as well as quality care. When other children eat everything, they are not afraid of contact with dust, as well as with other volatile substances and even have no idea that there are such diseases and problems. Why does this happen?

Sometimes children are born with a predisposition to allergies, which sometimes accompanies a person all his life. This predisposition is also called atopy. In infancy it is atopic dermatitis, it was formerly called exudative diathesis.

Diathesis is a chronic skin disease of an inflammatory nature, which is based on heredity. Atopy is possible to such allergens as dust, any food, bacteria, medicines, as well as to a variety of viruses, etc.

Diathesis can lead to very serious diseases, such as bronchial asthma, an allergic rhinitis. The transition of diathesis to a more complex disease is called an atopic march. Possible allergic triad - this is when all forms of allergies occur simultaneously.

Treatment of diathesis in children and the course of the disease

The disease can begin in children even from the first days of life. The course of the disease is divided into three stages - an infant stage, a child and adolescent stage, and an adult stage. All stages of this disease proceed with calm intervals and with exacerbations. And although it is believed that most diathesis in the majority passes to the adolescent period, it still happens that some diathesis remains for life.

     This disease in the baby can begin with the first months of life and last until the age of two. The diathesis can be wet or dry.

With wetting diathesis, there is a strong itch, swelling of the skin and a rash in the form of bubbles, which eventually burst, forming wet areas, which are covered with crusts. Diathesis often appears on the face, lower and upper extremities, as well as on the buttocks. Sometimes an infection may occur and pustules are added to all of the listed manifestations.

With dry diathesis there are reddening, puffiness, itching rash, which forms crusts when combing, as well as ulcers.

Perhaps a combination of both forms of diathesis or the transition of one form to another.

Most often appears on the elbows, neck, hips and perineum.

Treatment of diathesis in children

     Treatment of this disease in children should be comprehensive, because it is a disease of the whole body. When treating diathesis, the main task is to prevent exacerbation. When identifying allergens in food should be as far as possible to exclude them from the diet. You need to clean up every day, use an air cleaner, air an apartment, do not keep pets and plants, and annually replace the child with a pillow on which he sleeps.

Treatment of diathesis in children must be under the supervision of a doctor. He will necessarily write out ointment from diathesis for children, which will need to be applied to the previously cleaned skin.

It should be remembered that children's diathesis is a hereditary disease, but if you follow the doctor's recommendations, you can avoid the appearance of allergies.
