Dad and mom begin to panic when they find out that their child has food intolerance to a product.
But the worst thing is if the children are allergic to sweet. Here, neither persuasions nor explanations help: the baby is very difficult to explain the principle of the fruit filling in the chocolate candy. Therefore, parents sometimes act in prohibitive ways, they do not buy their children cakes, ice cream, or sweets.
We have to avoid even sweet tea. Often children think that they were deprived of sweet candy for some misconduct. However, most often parents begin to notice the child's manifestations of allergies when it goes too far.
Symptoms of allergy to the sweet in children
Allergy to sweet foods can occur in every child in their own way.
But in most cases on the cheeks the child appears:
- peeling;
- redness;
- rash.
However, not every adult pays attention to such manifestations of allergy.
Most parents start to sound an alarm when they notice more serious signs of the child:
- swelling;
- shortness of breath.
We should not forget that the allergic reaction brings the same suffering and discomfort to the kids as well as the adults. Only the baby's symptoms cause not a weak scabies, but a real chronic reaction.
Sweet product, especially in large quantities, does not bring any benefit to the growing baby's body. And maybe it's even good that a child can not eat candy, but the allergy is also possible on sweet fruits that carry a lot of vitamins and fiber.
Usually a rash appears on red and orange berries and fruits:
- strawberry;
- raspberry;
- currant,
- oranges;
- lemons.
With the onset of the summer period in families where children grow up suffering from an allergy to sweet, the real hell begins. The child must be constantly monitored so that he does not accidentally eat a strawberry or a currant. Usually this period lasts up to five years, until the child begins to understand the whole danger of some products. After all, even one berry, eaten in the neighboring garden, can lead to anaphylactic shock or even death.
Treatment of allergy to the sweet in children
If you find the first symptoms of an allergy, you should immediately give up everything sweet until you know the cause of the disease. If the allergen product is found, then only it should be excluded from the child's menu. However, it is not so easy to do, because there are a lot of temptations in the form of sweet foods.
Immediately begin to be treated for this disease, do not postpone this issue until later.
The best way out in this situation will be to contact an allergist, who can determine the type of product that caused an allergic reaction. The doctor will definitely appoint your child treatment, which must be performed strictly.
Treatment is based on the training of the child's body to the product that causes an allergic reaction. For this purpose, the introduction of small amounts of allergen substances into the body is prescribed. The entire process must be under the constant supervision of a physician.
Prevention of allergy to the sweet in children
In order to prevent allergies to sugar and its derivatives, physicians offer parents to keep a special diary where all the data on a food product should be entered, and what allergy symptoms it causes.
Negative reaction, as a rule, becomes visible within a day. But sometimes the allergic reaction has a delayed effect, and it becomes visible only after a few days. In this case, it is very difficult to identify a specific allergen. That's why the child should be taken to an allergist who can detect and eliminate the culprit of an allergy.
