The prevalence of “child allergy” disease has increased significantly in recent years. If your child sneezes or coughs a lot, frequently has a rash on his body, or has abdominal pain, cramps and nausea after eating certain foods, your child may have pediatric allergies.
How Does Child Allergy Occur?
“ "Child allergy" occurs when your child touches, inhales or eats something in the environment to which he or she is allergic. This is called an allergen. The allergen enters the body and your child's immune system reacts. This reaction causes the release of histamine. When histamine is released into the body, it can cause symptoms such as an itchy rash or skin swelling.
The duration of allergic reactions is in two ways: immediate and delayed allergic reaction. An “immediate allergic reaction” usually happens within minutes or up to 1-2 hours after your child comes into contact with or eats the substance he or she is allergic to. A “delayed allergic reaction” usually occurs 2-4 days after your child is exposed to the substance to which he or she is allergic.
