Saw the title on home page, I will be happy to share my experience. My son has severe food allergy since two month old. At six month old he was confirmed to be allergic to 12 types of food. He is ten now, and is allergic to 3 types of food. I can almost call myself an expert.
First of all, skin rashes are only symptoms of allergies. While you try to get her skin better, you should first focus on finding out the exact cause of her allergies and avoid them.
Experts believe food allergies are overeaction of the immune system. In younger children (under six), the best solution is to avoid the offending food until the immune system forget that it needs to react to the food (the so-called outgrow allergies). You should visit an experienced pediatric allergist who can run a thorough test to find out the allergens.
The experience of the doctor makes a huge difference in your treatment plan. We visited about 6 local allergists until we went to John Hopkins and visited Dr. Robert Wood. He is the head of pediatric immunology and is considered one of the top expert in the country. With his help, my son's allergy was well controlled. He outgrew milk allergy at six, and is now low allergic to peanut (used to be life-threatening for him).
For allergic kids, the skin rash (called eczema) may still persist even after you rule out all the allergens, and is most tough behind the knees and around the elbows. They are very itchy. Most skin creams contain steroid, which means overtime your child will develop resistence. Try to bath her less often - this is very important as all shower/bath will dry the skin and make the rash worse. Babies are very clean naturely as long as you wash the diaper area. Aveeno makes an oatmeal bath powder which will help soothing the itchy skin.
Remember, staying away, not even a trace of the offending food, is the key. You must learn to read the ingredient label for EVERY food you baby takes. Dr. Wood consider my son's progress (outgrowing allergies) a rare success. My secret is to be super cautious with everything he eats. It worked.
Good luck! [此贴子已经被作者于2011/6/6 15:20:36编辑过] 是说风疹/荨麻疹也是过敏的一种吗?要当作过敏来治疗?
我女儿4岁多时开始慢性荨麻疹,现在一年多了。。。她基本好了。 但是我不给她乱吃。 我的经验是不要吃甜的东西比如蛋糕。 不要给孩子吃有 preservative or food color . Organic if possible. drink lots of water. 多吃点粗粮 like millet. This disease is very hard to get better, but I think food has lot to do with it. Good Luck!

是说风疹/荨麻疹也是过敏的一种吗?要当作过敏来治疗?
呀,这个怎么这么像我啊。
我小时候就爱过敏,盖个被子不是纯棉就全身过敏,如果是衣服有化学物质就更加严重,路过油漆店也会过敏,小时几乎什么荨麻疹,湿疹全部得过,还会风疹,这个最夸张,有些风一吹就浑身起大包,我自己都记得,我们那有个偏方,吃陈年稻谷壳煮水,居然一喝就好,太神奇了。真正记事开始就不怎么过敏了,有时候吃东西眼角发红,自己也比较注意。
爱吃芒果,也贪心,有次一口气吃了6个象牙芒,从此断送了我吃芒果的权利,后来不甘心试验了几次,都过敏了,而且我每次过敏连吼咙里面都会有颗颗。 后来高中发现哈蜜瓜也不能吃了,现在吃菠萝,心里怕怕的,每次两三块就打住,ld狠,连香瓜也不让我吃,说觉得长的和哈蜜瓜像。
一来美国就开始季节过敏,现在每天都打喷嚏,有时候太阳毒点流汗也会引起过敏,抓一下,一大片就红了,车的安全带卡脖子上也会过敏,擦强生的肌肉止痛膏也会过敏...总之,确认会过敏的东西就几乎一定会过敏,还没有确认会过敏的东西以后可能也会过敏,小时候会过敏的东西现在有些还居然不会过敏了
不过,我也没有觉得什么不好,都是小打小闹,过敏经常折腾一下,其他大事就少折腾点了。我的婶婆也爱过敏,她非常好命,我就当我有那个好命大基因好了。
突然好想谢谢妈妈外婆。
mm别难过着急,也替你女儿谢谢你。
是啊。。。。。当妈妈不容易,湿疹妈更难。。。。
心里难受之极,不知道宝宝什么时候能好点,这样的日子什么时候才是尽头。。。。
我有一个美国朋友的儿子也是很严重的食物过敏。他也打过类似的针剂。你可以去查查看。他家的也是从婴儿时期开始治疗的。
希望能帮到你。
从6个月我就这样安慰自己的,一直过了6个月还这样,我都快挺不住了。。。。。你不知道,我们是处处小心,生怕触雷。 我一直提心吊胆的过日子。 一次不小心碰了有一点点鸡蛋花的汤,大概就是沾到嘴上一些吧,眼睛立刻肿的跟金鱼一样,整个脖子起那个HIVES, 吓死我了,我妈给我看了6个 月,真的也见识过了,吓的心脏病也快出来了。
bless mm家的宝宝
不过知道宝宝鸡蛋过敏,为什么还会让碰到蛋花汤呢?
我家宝宝鸡蛋过敏,家里一年多都没买过鸡蛋了,全家都不吃
妈妈真不容易.
但是我不给她乱吃。 我的经验是不要吃甜的东西比如蛋糕。
不要给孩子吃有 preservative or food color . Organic if possible.
drink lots of water. 多吃点粗粮 like millet. This disease is very hard to get better,
but I think food has lot to do with it. Good Luck!
