allergic rhinitis. Medical care for a child

Fundamentals of First Aid (OPMP)

nasal allergy - this is a discharge from the nose with swelling of the mucous membrane caused by the influence of an allergic component. There are seasonal and year-round allergic rhinitis. An allergen can be any substance, smell or product. In total, more than 10 types of allergens are known. These are pollen of various plants, microscopic fungi, industrial and household dust, animal hair and medicines.

Another name for seasonal allergic rhinitis is pollinosis (from the Latin pollen - flower dust). Usually, pollinosis worsens in spring and summer, less often in autumn, and practically does not occur in winter.

Symptoms of the disease

Attacks of sneezing and constant discharge from the nose that appear after being outdoors during the flowering of allergenic plants, especially in dry and windy weather, or at home if the allergen is house dust and other substances.

Itching in the eyes and lachrymation.

Damage to the conjunctiva (the mucous membrane of the eyes).

Possible headache, general deterioration of well-being.

Sometimes there is heartburn, dry mouth, hoarseness, cough.

First Aid

1. Avoid contact of the child with a possible allergen - dust or plant pollen.

2. Take the child off the street if the attack of rhinitis began in the air.

3. If this happened at home, then do a wet cleaning and remove sources of domestic allergens from the apartment - carpets and soft toys, pets, remove heavy curtains.

4. To reduce the symptoms of allergic rhinitis, antihistamines are used: claritin, klamin, suprastin and tavegil (the latter cause drowsiness, so they should be taken with caution).

General recommendations for avoiding attacks of allergic rhinitis

Walk with your child only in the early morning and in rainy weather, when pollen is not active.

During the flowering season, close the windows in the apartment.

In the country, mow the grass, preventing the formation of pollen.

Do wet cleaning as often as possible.

Fight house mold by wiping walls and floors with antifungal products.

Allergic rhinitis is successfully treated with homeopathic remedies that activate a person's own defenses.

ATTENTION!

In 3-10% of cases, allergic rhinitis leads to the development of bronchial asthma, and in 40% it causes shortness of breath, which occurs with any, even minor physical exertion.

Artificial leather for touch emulation 15.04.2024

In a modern technology world where distance is becoming increasingly commonplace, maintaining connection and a sense of closeness is important. Recent developments in artificial skin by German scientists from Saarland University represent a new era in virtual interactions. German researchers from Saarland University have developed ultra-thin films that can transmit the sensation of touch over a distance. This cutting-edge technology provides new opportunities for virtual communication, especially for those who find themselves far from their loved ones. The ultra-thin films developed by the researchers, just 50 micrometers thick, can be integrated into textiles and worn like a second skin. These films act as sensors that recognize tactile signals from mom or dad, and as actuators that transmit these movements to the baby. Parents' touch to the fabric activates sensors that react to pressure and deform the ultra-thin film. This ... >>

The attractiveness of caring men 14.04.2024

The stereotype that women prefer "bad boys" has long been widespread. However, recent research conducted by British scientists from Monash University offers a new perspective on this issue. They looked at how women responded to men's emotional responsibility and willingness to help others. The study's findings could change our understanding of what makes men attractive to women. A study conducted by scientists from Monash University leads to new findings about men's attractiveness to women. In the experiment, women were shown photographs of men with brief stories about their behavior in various situations, including their reaction to an encounter with a homeless person. Some of the men ignored the homeless man, while others helped him, such as buying him food. A study found that men who showed empathy and kindness were more attractive to women compared to men who showed empathy and kindness. ... >>
