But about the effectiveness and efficiency of traditional medicine, no one doubts. Fortunately, a fairly large number of folk recipes from our grandmothers have come down to us, which will save your child from the painful symptoms of allergies without harm.

If there is a pet in your house, and after the child has contact with him, you notice the initial manifestations of allergies, it is better to give the pet into good hands. Try to wash the floors as often as possible and wipe the furniture from dust in the apartment or house. In this matter, a humidifier will not interfere, which will help to avoid the development of bronchial asthma in a baby.

As soon as your child comes in from the street, immediately change into clean clothes. The best option would be to take a shower, clear your nose and gargle your throat. Make sure your child doesn't overeat. It is necessary to eat fractionally, portions should be small, and their number should reach up to six doses per day. Since 90% of children have food allergies, many recommend keeping a food diary. Every day, enter into it the time, quantity, ingredients of the dishes that your baby consumes. Select a separate column in which you will record allergic manifestations and a possible allergen product. Thus, you will quickly calculate the "culprit" of the disease and get rid of it.

In order not to expose your child to hay fever, study the flowering calendar of plants. During dangerous periods, try to go out less, do not open windows and doors. If this is necessary, cover the window with a wet sheet that will trap pollen particles and street dust. Do not expose your child to the sun. Wear clothes that cover the body as much as possible, in light colors.

It is known that many household chemicals become disease provocateurs. Therefore, when washing baby clothes, rinse them at least three times. Protect your baby from contact with detergents and cleaning products. For their intimate hygiene, use only hypoallergenic cosmetics. Be extremely attentive to all changes in the body of your baby, and then you will not have to resort to traditional medicine treatment.
