When learning that their child is allergic, the first reaction of many parents is can it be cured? Definitely, the truth is that allergies cannot be cured. For people with allergies, if they do not take great care of their lives, they may get sick again and again. Some allergic diseases in children can be cured by themselves after adolescence, such as allergic asthma. However, allergies themselves cannot be eliminated, and even if the asthma gets better there may be other ways of allergy symptoms. So the goals of allergy treatment are the following: 1. To control the disease within a certain range and not to let the disease further damage the body. Some allergic rhinitis, for example, may be left behind in the adult stage if not treated properly; 2. To allow the child to live a normal life. Normal life means keeping the condition under control and stable, without affecting the child’s school, life and sports. The great characteristic of allergic diseases is that they are easy to repeat, so parents should also be patient and try to cooperate with the treatment so that their children can complete their schooling normally and get through this allergy-prone time before puberty. What kind of children are prone to allergies? Family history of allergies has a great impact on children. If both parents are allergic, the chances of the child also being allergic are as high as 80%. If it is hereditary, why do children still have allergies when neither parent has a particular allergic disease? The inheritance of allergies is a genetic predisposition, not an inheritance of a particular disease. It is possible that the father has skin allergies and the mother has allergic conjunctivitis, and as a result, the child inherits both of their allergies and may suffer from a certain allergic disease, which may be different from the parents, but the cause of the disease is a high degree of inheritance of the allergic constitution. Neither parent has ever had allergies, so why would the child still have them? Allergies do not always develop. Many people do not have allergy symptoms until they are in their 20s or 30s, only to suddenly develop allergies one day when their external environment or body condition changes. So the absence of allergy symptoms does not mean that there is no allergy, and this allergy may be inherited to the child.
