"If you buy mangoes for your children to eat again, I will divorce you!" I've really had enough! The child has been allergic repeatedly in the past two years, crying as soon as he is allergic, and he can't even go to kindergarten. Your parents have always blamed me for not even taking a child well and feeding the child indiscriminately. "Ms. Li barked at her husband in the hallway." All right! I won't buy it in the future! I didn't know that my child was allergic because he ate mango, and I knew I wouldn't give it to him. Ms. Li's husband said.
The doctor saw that the couple was emotional, and quickly called them to the office. The doctor learned that Ms. Li's husband works in Guangxi. He felt that mangoes in Guangxi were particularly sweet and the children liked to eat them, so every time he came back to see the children, he couldn't help but buy a big bag. They all know that children are often allergic, but since there is no immediate allergic reaction after each mango, they do not think that it is caused by eating mango.
Facial erythema after eating mango
The doctor explained: "Your child is indeed caused by "mango dermatitis" caused by eating mango. Now that you have found the allergen, explain the situation to your children and family when you go home, tell them to avoid eating or touching mango in the future, do not touch the mango tree, mango leaf stem, or prevent allergies, don't worry too much. ”
The couple breathed a sigh of relief after listening to it and asked the doctor for a detailed understanding of why they suffered from "mango dermatitis"? Is there any way to prevent and treat?
One: What is mango dermatitis?
Mango dermatitis is an allergic contact dermatitis, which is more common in people with allergies. It is common to eat or contact mango, especially not fully ripe mango (containing aldehyde acid, which has certain irritation to the skin), lips, around the mouth, face and even a reaction to systemic allergies. It can be manifested as erythema, papules, blisters, bullae, pustules, etc. of different sizes, and in severe cases, there will be rupture, running water, etc., accompanied by varying degrees of itching, tingling, and even dizziness, headache, nausea and vomiting, abdominal pain and diarrhea and other obvious discomfort.
Two: How to treat allergies?
1: Stop eating mangoes. Wash your hands, wash your face, brush your teeth and wash residual mango juice.
2: Only a small amount of perioral rash can be short-term external hormonal cream (such as hydrocortisone butyrate cream).
3: If the rash is severe or accompanied by systemic symptoms (such as itching, tingling, nausea and vomiting, abdominal pain and diarrhea, etc.), please seek medical attention in time.
Three: How to prevent it in daily life?
1: If you have repeated allergies after eating or touching mango, try to avoid eating or touching mango again.
2: People who are allergic to mango should also avoid contact with mango skin, mango trunk, stems and leaves.
3: Some people only appear red spots and itching around the mouth after eating mango, which is caused by peeling and eating mango and eating it directly, and staining the juice on the skin around the mouth. Cut the mango into small pieces before eating to avoid the juice on the skin to avoid allergies.
4: Wash your hands in time after peeling the mango, and rinse your mouth in time after eating the mango.
Some people may experience an allergic reaction a few days after eating mango, and when you are not sure whether it is caused by mango allergy, you can keep a food diary to record the suspicious food you have recently consumed. People who are allergic to mango are also prone to food allergies including pineapple, kiwifruit, dried fruits, seafood, etc., and can go to the hospital for allergen testing, or try to eat a small number of times, and continue to eat after confirming that they are not allergic.
