There are a number of factors that lead to allergies in children, including the kinds of food they eat, their genetic history and their surroundings. The recent surge of pollutants into the environment have resulted in a corresponding increase in children who suffer from allergies, so it is more important than ever to understanding the causes and treatments of allergies.
Allergies occur when the body overreacts to allergens or other triggers that are typically harmless to most people. This sensitivity causes a variety of symptoms including sneezing, runny nose, shortness of breath, nasal congestion, and asthma. Allergies are a chronic condition that can affect all aspects of daily life and disrupt restful sleep. If your children are living with this kind of discomfort, proper diagnosis and treatment can vastly improve their symptoms and make them feel much better.
