What are the two steps of baby mite allergy treatment?

1. Symptomatic treatment: When the child is exposed to dust mites and has a systemic skin reaction, systemic hormones and antihistamines should be used to alleviate the clinical symptoms in the acute stage. For children with dust mite allergies, a small amount of desensitization treatment can be achieved by using instruments or dust mite agents.

2. Treatment of causes: If the patient's physical constitution is relatively poor, the symptoms of mite allergy are relatively serious, and there is severe nasal discharge, nasal congestion, olfactory disorders, and even chest tightness, dyspnea, etc., the patient can undergo subcutaneous injection under the guidance of a doctor, which usually requires injection for 2-3 years. Treatment begins with a small dose of the allergen and gradually increases the dose to allow the body to gradually adjust to the presence of mite allergens.

Usually clean the house, and change children's clothes, bed sheets, quilt covers and other supplies frequently. Try to wash your child's skin with lukewarm water, not too hot or too cold water to avoid irritation to the skin. Do not use alkaline products to clean the skin, as it may aggravate allergy symptoms.
