Ways to Prevent Allergic Reactions
Allergic reactions to foods can be simply prevented by reading food label and ingredients. In early childhood, it is not recommended that children under the age of one year old be subjected to cow’s milk or dairy products, though many pediatricians will give the okay to introduce dairy at the nine month check-up. An infant’s digestive system lacks the enzymes necessary to breakdown the lactose in milk and milk products. Though waiting until after one year to introduce certain foods decreases the risk of an allergy, it does not eliminate the possibility of an allergic reaction.



When preventing animal allergies, some doctors feel that a person who is allergic to an animal should find the pet a new home. Getting rid of a cat or dog can be an impossible solution when the pet is loved and is the member of the family. Try to keep the animal clean, well groomed (washing or brushing at least once a week). Brushing and combing should be done outside the home. An allergic person should not empty a cat-litter box or should wear a mask while doing so.

Children whose family members have airborne allergic conditions such as asthma, hay fever, and eczema are at much higher risk of developing these conditions themselves, so strategies for preventing allergic diseases are particularly important for them. To avoid developing airborne allergies, doctors recommend minimizing children’s exposure to cigarette smoke and common allergens such as dust mites and animal dander in the home. Breast-feeding also gives children some protection from allergic illnesses.

Always consult your pediatrician when working on prevention strategies for your children and family.
