Tips to combat your child's allergies

Many a time, parents find it difficult to detect the signs of allergies in their young children. After all, kids come in contact with germs all the time which could result in coughing, sneezing and a runny nose. While most of us would believe it's another cold, it could actually be an allergy if there's constant sneezing, coughing, eyes watering, headaches, chest congestion and trouble in breathing.

The most effective way to treating allergies in the child is finding out what exactly is triggering it. Once you know the reason for it, you can adopt a few changes to ensure your child is in a much healthy environment. Below are some smart tips to help you prevent allergies.

1. Stuffed toys attract a lot of dust mites and other allergens. Therefore, it is important to wash them often using hot water.

2. Use a dust mite-proof cover on your child's bed to avoid dust mites from settling in. Also, ensure that the bedding is washed every week in hot water.

3. Get your carpets and upholstery cleaned by professionals in order to get rid of the dust and allergens thoroughly. Classique Chem-Dry with its cleaning expertise is known to remove 98% of allergens from carpets, rugs, furniture and upholstery.

4. Purchase a vacuum cleaner that has a HEPA (High-Efficiency Particulate Air) filter as this captures even the smallest of dust particles resulting in cleaner air.

5. Use a good air conditioning system to filter allergens from the outside environment. Check the filters periodically and replace them when they get extremely dirty.

6. Be on the look out for mould and mildew.

7. Opt for chemical cleaners that have mild scents.

8. Avoid smoking indoors.

9. Vacuum and wash your cushions, pillows and blankets regularly to minimise the

    exposure to pet dander.

In extreme cases consult a pediatrician for effective medication.
