7 Tips to Prevent an Eczema Flare-Up
While there’s no cure for eczema, that doesn’t mean you can’t control your disease. Although winter’s cold, dry weather is extra challenging when you have eczema, these seven tips can help you prevent flare-ups.
Avoid triggers by making changes to your home and to your behavior.
Many parents of children with allergic rhinitis have said that their children are more moody and irritable during allergy season. Since children cannot always express their symptoms verbally, they may express their discomfort by acting up at school and at home. In addition, some children feel that having an allergy is a stigma that separates them from others.
It is important that the irritability or other symptoms caused by allergy symptoms are not mistaken for attention deficit disorder. With proper treatment, symptoms can be kept under control, and disruptions in learning and behavior can be avoided.
Symptoms of allergic rhinitis have other causes as well, the most customary being the common cold – an example of infectious rhinitis. Most infections are relatively short-lived, with symptoms improving in three to seven days.
Many people have recurrent or chronic nasal congestion, excess mucus production, itching, and other nasal symptoms similar to those of allergic rhinitis. In those cases, an allergy may not be the cause.
