Question
Is my child possibly allergic?
Answer
It’s not possible to cure allergies, the key is to prevent exposure to allergens. I recommend oral antihistamines like diphenhydramine or cetirizine, and in severe cases, consider using steroids. Medications only provide temporary relief. Also, be mindful of avoiding allergens, which are factors that can make you relaxed. Additionally, look for potential allergy triggers in your home, such as food, paint, renovation materials, or clothing. Fish, shrimp, crab, animal feathers, pollen, mushrooms, poison ivy, medications, sunlight, bacteria, and parasites can also cause allergies. It’s important to eliminate or at least prevent exposure to these factors to effectively control them.
