Allergies are very frequent diseases, especially defense mechanisms in the external environment, so they occur in places where the body has contact with the environment.

Most begin in the first five years of life and are very often inherited. Atopic dermatitis (dryness and rash in the folds), urticaria (hives or swellings) and prostrate pruritus (caused by insect bites) are present on the skin. All of them are pruritus or scratching.

In the airways, the most common allergies are asthma and allergic rhinitis that are often accompanied by conjunctivitis. In the digestive tract, allergies can cause vomiting, diarrhea, gastroesophageal reflux, among other disorders.

In the airways the main causes of allergy are the mites, microscopic animals that are in the homemade dust. This is why the children’s bedroom should be dust-free. If you have respiratory allergies, it is advisable to cover pillows and mattress with sheets, frequent cleaning, avoiding pet hair and other triggers.

Foods that most frequently cause allergies are cow’s milk, egg, peanut, fish and seafood. It is therefore considered that these foods should be introduced late, when the doctor indicates.
