Tips for Handling Your Child’s Seasonal Allergies

Seasonal allergies can cause symptoms like sneezing, runny nose, and itchy eyes, disrupting your child’s daily life. At Kurapati Children Hospital, we offer practical tips to manage seasonal allergies and make allergy season more comfortable for your child.

1. Recognising Seasonal Allergy Symptoms in Children

Seasonal allergies often manifest as sneezing, runny nose, itchy eyes, and even coughing. Knowing these symptoms helps parents identify when allergies, rather than a cold, are affecting their child.

2. Reducing Exposure to Allergens

Keeping windows closed, using air purifiers, and washing hands and face after outdoor activities can minimise allergen exposure and reduce allergy symptoms.

3. Medications for Allergy Relief

Non-prescription antihistamines, nasal sprays, or decongestants, as recommended by a doctor, can help relieve symptoms. Always consult a pediatrician before starting any medication for your child.

4. The Role of Nutrition in Managing Allergies

Certain foods rich in vitamins and antioxidants can help support the immune system, potentially reducing allergy symptoms. Include foods like berries, leafy greens, and nuts in your child’s diet.

5. Creating a Healthy Routine to Manage Allergies

Establishing a daily routine that includes regular hand washing, clean bedding, and healthy eating habits can make a significant difference in managing seasonal allergies.
