Allergy is very wrong (updated version)

1. Yellow snot must represent infection.

This is indeed a misunderstanding of many people. Color really doesn't necessarily mean anything. It depends on the whole symptom, not just the color. Conversely, white nose or sputum may also represent the flu and the infection of General Mei.

2. Hydrolyzed milk powder

Hydrolyzed milk powder is often labeled as not nutritious and not well absorbed. Dr. Dad must give a fair explanation to hydrolyzed milk powder. Nutrition absorption is the same. Molecules are cut into small molecules, which are not easily recognized by the immune system, reducing the chance of milk allergy. Saying that nutrition is not enough and absorption is not good is actually a sales promotion. It's the same as "the breast milk after six months has no nutrition": nothing!

3. heredity

Parents are not allergic, how can children have them?

Genetics does account for many factors, but only a part. About 10% to 15 are allergic patients whose parents are not allergic. Allergy is also related to its environment and lifestyle, so it reacts to which allergen.

4. goat milk

Goat milk is great. Sensitive to trachea is very effective. Studies have shown that the proportion of children allergic to milk who are still allergic to goat milk is between 70% and 80%, because their protein structure is still very similar.

5. The myth of non-staple food and allergens

In the past, I advocated not eating non-staple foods with high allergies at all. However, the latest research shows that when a child is very young, he can be exposed to highly allergic ingredients, which will reduce the chance of allergies in the future.

6. Bronchitis/pneumonia will become asthma after a long time.

Respiratory tract infection does not directly cause asthma.

On the other hand, if children with asthma have bronchiolitis more than three times in infancy, and the breathing sound is wheezing, then the probability of asthma will be higher when they grow up. This concept is more like: the trachea is sensitive and the respiratory tract is easy to contract, so it causes wheezing and breathing after infection.

7. Ectopic dermatitis

Clinically, many parents only apply lotion for maintenance when their children have atopic dermatitis. Professional dermatologist You Yisheng suggested that children should apply lotion every day to protect their skin from allergens.

8. Probiotics:

How to eat probiotics is useless. Sneezing and runny nose?

The role of probiotics varies from person to person, and it is not a magic medicine. People's expectations for probiotics are a bit too high. Probiotics have been proved to be effective by empirical medicine, including atopic dermatitis, gastroenteritis and diarrhea after antibiotic use.

Other claimed effects, such as solving all allergic problems, growing taller, losing weight, becoming smarter, and being a monitor every year, are all "visions".

9. Inhale steroids

"Doctor, doctors in other hospitals say that children need to inhale steroids, which is equivalent to sentencing my child to death. What should I do? May I not use it? 」

Hearing steroids, my parents' hearts were half cold. We must first establish two concepts:

1. Allergy treatment is gradual. From symptom treatment, changes in daily life environment to drug treatment. Drug therapy can be divided into mild antihistamines or bronchodilators, new Liu Xin/Mondeca and steroids. Step by step, sometimes used together, sometimes used alone.

2. Allergy is a dynamic state: influenced by weather, cold and environment, sometimes it is good, sometimes it is bad. In a stable situation, it may not be necessary to use drugs at all, but in an attack or unstable situation, appropriate drug control should be used according to the doctor's instructions.

Of course, you can discuss the direction and plan of medication with your doctor.

10. Umbilical cord blood says the allergic index is not high. How can you be allergic when you grow up?

This is also a common misunderstanding. The sensitivity index of umbilical cord blood at birth is not 100%.

If the allergy index is high, the probability of predicting the future allergic constitution is high, but if the index is low, it cannot be judged that there is no problem in the future.

1 1. air filter

"Which air purifier can solve all my problems? 」

Many parents have a misunderstanding: the air purifier is the ultimate weapon to solve all problems. The air purifier is an auxiliary means, not a treatment. Allergy control needs a multi-pronged approach to see the effect.

12. Label of asthma

Parents are worried that once their children are labeled as asthma, they will "hold the dilator nervously" as described in the movie, which is difficult to cure. If asthma patients are properly controlled, there will be no symptoms, and they can live normally, exercise and sing.

Dad Dr is also an asthmatic "child" (the kind with crow's feet), so I understand the difficulties and feelings of suffering from asthma. From an early age, I watched my parents frown, quietly watching my expression of inhaling bronchodilators. Since I became a parent, I can better understand the mood behind it.

Dr. Nurse told his parents from the personal experience of an experienced person and the perspective of a pediatrician: allergies are not terrible, just need patience and peace with them.
