Common mistake parents make could increase chance of hayfever in children

So are the seasonal allergies that influence millions of Australians every year.

Although it is most commonly related to adults, Hayfever can also affect children under five years of age – and their symptoms are widely mixed with colds.

Pollen expert Kira Hughes, speaking with Newswire, said seasonal allergies affect approximately 25 percent of the population.

“From 1 September to the end of November, then all flowers and all trees, herbs, basically all plants emerge, and finally, after winter, when things start to warm up and dry, they begin to release all their pollen,” he said.

“Unfortunately, most of this pollen ends in our noses, our faces and this causes typical allergies.”

Although pollen -related sneezing, itchy eyes and flowing nose are common with adults, children under five years of age are also a target for straw.

Hayfever symptoms usually pass through colds, 92 percent of parents realize that their children suffer from sneezing, coughing and nose discharge.

However, two -thirds of the Australian parents often believe that only 11 percent may be due to allergies, while only 11 percent may be connected to colds.

Children under five years of age typically spend most of their time inside, but these do not prevent allergens from entering the house.

As a part of the study, Zyrtec performed SWAB tests in the houses in Sydney, and discovered the widespread traces of open -air allergens, including pollen, mushrooms and molds, hidden in daily products, including pillows, carpets and lampshades.

Hughes told Newswire, “We found high concentrations in the windows and entrances to fireplaces,” he said.

“(Pollen) comes directly from the outside of the house… And it may be placed as dust or gather on clothes, furniture and toys.

“You are regularly exposed to the allergens at home.”

His parents frequently called on dust to get rid of dust at the contact points linked to Hayfever around the house.

“What is forgotten by parents is when it revolves around the spring, then you have to change things like washing your hands or washing your clothes more regularly,” he said.

Although a child is less likely to be shot with straw, symptoms may be much worse than adults and are untreated, and may mean that the child suffers without proper treatment.

“Children tend to have more severe symptoms than adults, and this may be caused by newly developed immune systems… Dr Hughes said.

He told Newswire that parents should follow a fire to show cold or virus.

“Cold, such as sneezing, itchy eyes, nasal discharge, such as symptoms, such as a tendency to fall after one or two weeks,” he said.

“But if it lasts for weeks or months without a sign of fall or alleviating, it is likely that the child will suffer from straw.”

Zyrtec, educating parents and children about allergic rhinitis during daily activities such as bath time – Zach and Zoe: Hide and sneezing – published a waterproof bath for children.

Hughes (Book) is written in a really informative format, so they can help to learn and manage more about these symptoms, Dr Dr Hughes said.

The bathroom book is available as a free gift from participating pharmacies by purchasing Zyrtec.
