Allergic reactions may not be just an easy sneeze or runny nose. In addition to these, many people also experience symptoms such as difficulty in breathing and weakness. For children, it becomes a difficult situation to manage.
Pediatric Health and Diseases Specialist Dr. Ahmet Köse said that these days when schools opened, allergy complaints increased due to the change of seasons, and that increasing complaints created an obstacle in front of school success. Dr. Köse mentioned that with the arrangements to be made in the residence, the complaints of allergies can be reduced and the school success can be increased.
“House dust mites cause allergy”
Stating that allergy is the biggest enemy of school success in children, Dr. Köse said, “Allergy not only affects growth and development in children, but also prevents success in school. Allergic children cannot breathe easily, cannot sleep systematically and comfortably. All this causes children to be nervous, finite, sleepless at school and have trouble focusing. Children with reduced allergy complaints experience an efficient sleep period, especially since they can easily go to deep sleep. This helps him focus more easily and be successful in school the next day.” spoke in.
Drawing attention especially to the cleanliness of the children’s room, Dr. Ahmet Köse said, “Allergy is a reaction of children to foreign things. Feces of small creatures called dust mites in the residential environment are a valuable cause of allergies. These creatures, which live especially in hairy, woolly, thick fabrics, carpets, weavings and beds, and can be seen with a microscope, love warm and humid environments and multiply rapidly there. If your child has itching, discharge, congestion, sneezing, redness, itching and watering in the nose, especially in the residential environment, the reason may be housing dust mites. It is very valuable to simplify the children’s room, to have less toys, weaving works, and to remove the carpet.” he said.
“Strictly vacuum the bed”
Köse concluded his words as follows: “I strongly recommend that the child’s room be ventilated, especially that the books should be dusted frequently, and that the surfaces should be wiped with a damp cloth. The children’s room should also be swept twice a week. It is valuable that the vacuum used here is an aqueous system with a hepa filter and does not release dust back into the environment. Sweep the child’s bed regularly with these cleaning robots with high suction power. House dust mites find an easier place to live in places such as beds, quilts, pillows, blankets and weaving works, and leave their excrement there. Cleanse your child’s sleeping area by trapping them in water.
Proper sleep means regular growth and a successful school life. When the child gets his sleep, he will wake up easily in the morning, go to school willingly, and will be more successful at school. The family will easily see the changes in the child who is able to sleep in time.”
