Mild cases may not require medical treatment, but severe cases can have life-threatening consequences such as difficulty breathing.
The pathology develops in children with angioedema, significant swelling of the dermis and subcutaneous fat in the short term. Angioedema (synonym: giant urticaria, angioneurotic edema) is common in people of all ages prone to allergic reactions.
various factors of the environment (chemical and biological) can trigger the development of such pathological conditions as angioedema. Angioedema in children is characterized by severe and often requires immediate medical attention The disease develops against the background of other allergic conditions such as asthma or atopic dermatitis.

In most cases the diagnosis was made on the basis of clinical manifestations of angioedema in children. It is also the important presence of the child's aggravated allergic history (allergic reactions to food, household allergens in early cases). Much more difficulties arise in the diagnosis of lesions of the digestive tract and nervous tissues. In such cases, immunoglobulin E, instrumental examination (laryngoscopy EGD) should identify.
The most important point in the treatment of edema Quincke in children is to eliminate contact with the allergen. For excessive alcohol shown in ochischeniya organism, taking enterosorbents. In severe cases, resort to the use of hormonal drugs for intravenous infusion.
Drug therapy of the disease, diuretics (sosudoukreplyayuschee (Ascorutin) for the rapid elimination of allergens from the body), (Suprastin is the use of antihistamines Ketotifen). The dosage and duration of hormone preparations (prednisone, dexamethasone) are carried out in a hospital setting.
The first aid for angioneurotic edema in children with laryngeal involvement in the pathological process is to use inhaled nebulization by holding hemosorption. When the child pronounced asphyxia, immediately perform a tracheostomy and start oxygen therapy. To prevent the reappearance of angioedema in a child is recommended to correctly identify the allergen that caused the development of the disease.
