Your immune system to attack

Many people suffer from some form of allergy or sensitivity. Why the body does allergic to certain substances? Is there a cure?

Remedy for Allergy Headache

Allergy is an abnormal reaction of the immune system to contact with a foreign substance, an allergen. Contact can take place through the skin, the mucous membrane of any part of the respiratory tract, or the mucosa of the digestive tract.

Causes:

The allergic reaction after a first exposure may occur and takes different forms such as eczema hay fever, allergic asthma and food allergy. People with allergic reactions produce much more amount of the antibody immunoglobulin (IGE) than the normal. They also produce much more amounts of a specific granular cell than normal. IGE binds to mast cells.

As an allergen, such as a grain of pollen, connects himself with the IgE, the membrane of the mast cell becomes distorted. It rips and thereby get some very irritating substances histamine are released. These substances cause the allergic symptoms.


Infections are required:

In the defense against infections T-helper cells - a type of white blood cell plays key role. Th1 cells come into action when an infection and deliver substances attack and destroy unwanted invaders. Th2 cells produce substances that are involved in the allergic reaction. Normally, these two cells are balanced, but if more Th2 cells, there may be an allergic reaction.

Due to infections after teaches a baby is using Th1 cells against bacteria and viruses to defend, which possible to decrease the chance of an allergy. In the absence of infection, Th2 cells remain boss. You can then get allergies.


More and more allergies:

Improved hygiene and vaccinations make children less infections. Especially in Western countries, the number of allergies is striking. For example, only 3 percent of the Albanian children suffered from asthma, compared with 22 to 40 percent of British children. In a cleaner environment we come with less bacteria and viruses in touch, making our bodies less defensive builds. Research shows that 40 percent of animals live longer after exposure to small amounts of chemicals and radiation.

Dirt is not all bad. Children develop regular contact with farm animals less likely an allergy. Italian scientists discovered that soldiers with antibodies against the hepatitis A virus had fewer allergies than peers without these antibodies. Hepatitis A is transmitted through feces, contaminated food and water.

According to a British study, young children take daily bathing and at least five times a day to wash their hands more likely to develop allergies than children who do not often do. Research at the National Jewish and Research Center in Denver involving 1680 newborns showed that babies are less prone to allergies as their ancestral home more substance.

A remedy for allergy:

The best recipe against allergy is to avoid contact with the substance to which one is allergic. But that is not always easy and sometimes impossible. First, it is important to examine exactly what substance it is allergic. Your doctor may furnish prescription drugs, such as antihistamines. Itching is often prescribed as a cream or ointment. An increasingly used method is desensitization.

The aim is that through careful contact with the allergen is a certain habituation. It is a good method, but in a long way that is not guaranteed. If you have a severe reaction resembling allergy or hypersensitivity, contact your doctor.

Ways to open up your Nose - Spray your Nose Open

Types of nasal:

There are several reasons to use a nasal spray. Read here what sprays are available and how you use them. Before you know it, you can breathe freely again delicious.

Spray your Nose Open

A stuffy nose is often caused by an infection of the nasal mucosa. A clogged nose dilate the blood vessels in the lining itself. This will bring up moisture and swells the mucous membrane on. Breathing through the nose is not there anymore. And only breathe through your mouth is not as healthy as the air is not purified from bacteria.

Types of nasal

If you have a stuffy nose, there are two types of sprays / drops that you can use to back air to get:

1) Nasal spray with sodium chloride:

Sodium chloride is nothing but salt. The nasal spray is the salt dissolved in a certain ratio. This can be used when mucous membranes are not irritated. The spray almost dilutes immediately the thickened mucus, then blows again and breathes easier. Caked snot around the nose can easily be removed. The spray is very suitable for small children up to two years. Older children and adults are also often well helped. If symptoms have not been reduced after two weeks, go to the doctor.

2) With xylometazoline:

Nasal Products contain xylometazoline and they are stronger than products with saline. This drug relieves the symptoms of rhinitis and sinusitis, but they do not cure. By using xylometazoline, the blood vessels in the nasal mucosa are temporarily closer. Breathing through the nose is already after a few minutes more. This spray ensures a sinus infection that pus and fluid from the sinuses can 'run away'. It works for five or six hours. It should be no longer than five consecutive days and are used not more than ten days per month.

If you use it longer, then the nasal mucosa damaged. It becomes constantly inflamed and clogged and the operation of the spray decreases and the risk of side effects with prolonged use greater. Infants up to two years are particularly susceptible to the side effects of xylometazoline. For them, this spray should not be used. His symptoms disappeared after two weeks yet, make an appointment with the doctor.

Spraying with allergies:

If there is an allergy to the mucous membranes of the nose overreact. This causes symptoms such as sneezing, itchy nose and eyes, a runny nose and burning eyes. A spray cromoglicic acid can help to eliminate hay fever and other allergies with these symptoms. cromoglicic acid prevents the release of endogenous substances that cause allergic reactions. It means you have to use every day four to eight times. It does not work immediately.

For some people it works after just a week, others only after four weeks. Therefore do not stop too quickly with spraying if the symptoms do not immediately reduce. If there is no improvement after four weeks to notice, go to the doctor. For clarity, this spray helps not to sudden allergic symptoms. It starts with hay fever of few weeks before the pollen season starts with spray.
                                                                     

Always read the label

Before use, read the label or package dosage and side effects of self-care. Ask the pharmacist or druggist for clarification.

Spraying or dripping

The effect of spray and drip is the same. One does not work better than the other. It's just that you prefer yourself. Never use the spray bottle or another because of the risk of contamination with bacteria and viruses. Optionally write your name on the packaging. Muzzle the nose or make the nose of your baby or toddler as clean as possible before going to dripping or spraying. The special pumps are available. Muzzle not too hard. Then press your mucus in the sinus or sinus and can therefore become inflamed.

User

  • Press the pump once. Sniff the liquid simultaneously, so that the deep nasal spray arrives. Do this and then also in the other nostril.
  • Rinse the nozzle thoroughly with lukewarm water and close the bottle carefully.
  • After opening the spray for a month.

Cow's milk allergy in children - What are the symptoms?

Cow's milk allergy or cow's milk protein allergy is one of the most common allergies in babies. It can be like other food allergies that cause symptoms of skin, stomach, intestines and respiratory tract.

A milk allergy is usually diagnosed at the first year of a baby. Often the symptoms disappear naturally when the child is older.

cow milk allergies babies

Allergies

A child as a baby suffering from cow's milk allergy has more chance in life to get other allergies later. A baby with eczema reacts to cow's milk as there is more chance of asthma later.

Breastfeeding

Breastfeeding offers babies the best protection against allergies. The first six months they have nothing else other than breastfeeding. In breast milk, all required nutrients tailored are present. For very sensitive babies, it is recommended that the mother during lactation well on its nutritional attention. If the mother is known as allergens eat such as cow, chicken, fish, soy and nuts, there is a possibility that minuscule particles may come through the breast to the baby.

Bottle Feeding

If baby is on cow's wrong, there is 10 percent chance that he is allergic to soy milk. The baby may be better than another food, for example based on protein hydrolysates. The hydrolysed proteins in cow's milk have been demolished so far that they have lost their allergenicity. There are several brands named Nutrilon Peptides, Neocate, Nutramigen or Friso hypoallergenic (with food hypersensitivity) and Friso allergy care (with cow's milk allergy).

From milk to solid food

After six months, a baby needs to get solid foods. Children with cow's milk allergy may also be allergic to respond to other nutrients, so it is important to be very careful from six months to start solid foods. This can be taken after dietitian’s advice. Some products give more risk of food allergies than others, such as: milk, egg, soy, fish, shellfish, nuts, peanuts and seeds and kernels. The opinion of the Nutrition Centre is also not too early to introduce.

Certain foods that do not belong to the highly allergenic foods may still give the same symptoms as food allergy. These include strawberry, kiwi, tomato, pork, citrus fruits, chocolate and various spices. It is recommended that these foods should not introduce to babies first immediately after six months. All other foods can be introduced from 6 months.

Living with a Child with Food Allergies - Signs Symptoms Childhood Allergies

What causes it?

Food allergy occurred when children cannot tolerate certain nutrients. Children suffer from their intestines, skin or breathing. There are a number of causes of food allergy in children.

Childhood Allergies Asthma

Heredity

The risk of food allergy is greater in families with allergies of hay fever, asthma and eczema. If the mother is allergic, there is more likely to develop an allergy then the father is allergic. But this does not mean that the child develops the same allergic reactions.

Young age

Children are more susceptible to food allergies than adults. We know that babies gut is not fully grown, they suffer from allergy much. The body against that cause allergic reactions if they come into contact with the allergic things.

Earlier

Why you previously never heard children (food) allergy? The final answer is not there yet, but there are several indications for possible causes.

Few incentives

The increased hygiene in the western world will be as a cause for the increasing incidence of allergies. It is believed that the immune system of children is activated too little because in too 'clean' developed countries there are few stimuli. Inoculations also make children less infections. This theory assumes a relationship between the experiencing of infections and immune system function. Young children in a larger family cause fewer allergies.

In just the past two years there are two million new chemical compounds added every day in the world. Thousands of substances are in our power justly. Some scientists say it is no wonder that our immune system there sometimes no more wise and knows from overloading.

More additions

Our diet contains more additives, such as colors, flavors and preservatives than those of a few decades ago. Especially dyes have gained a reputation as an allergen. They are also associated with behavioral problems in children, such as hyperactivity. But this is not proven scientifically.
