2、 The hazards of mite allergy in babies
After being bitten by mites, babies may feel itchy skin and subsequently develop rashes. The rash can manifest as edematous erythema, papules, papules, and wheals, appearing red and scattered. There are often traces of insect bites on the top of the skin lesions. This is because mites bite the human body and release antigens or toxins, causing an inflammatory response known as mite dermatitis.
Many babies develop respiratory diseases such as allergic rhinitis and allergic asthma due to underdeveloped body tissues and weak resistance, manifested as delicate respiratory tract that cannot withstand the stimulation of allergens.
The indirect harm caused by mites to children is greater and more serious. As we all know, the main symptoms of allergic rhinitis are nasal congestion, itching, runny nose, and sneezing, while the symptoms of allergic asthma are wheezing, chest tightness, coughing, and sudden suffocation. The common consequence of these symptoms is poor breathing in the human body.
In general, it is recommended to open windows for ventilation, sun dry bedding frequently, pay attention to indoor hygiene, change baby's clothes frequently, pay attention to moisture prevention, and if necessary, use insecticides to eliminate mites. By doing so, many mites can be eliminated, which can effectively prevent babies from being allergic to mites.
