Parents always wish to have a baby that is healthy. They get depressed when they see their baby with many issues. Not all babies are healthy and many babies have issues like inability to sleep during nights, stomach aches, rashes etc in them and these issues upsets the parents.
These signs indicate that baby is suffering from some allergy.
Runny or stuffy nose:
This is one common issue that is present in many babies and could be seen when the baby is having cold. When this runny nose is present in babies for longer time then we must be careful. It must be noted that breathing using mouth is a sign of stuffy nose and could be due to both indoor as well as outdoor allergies.
Coughing:
Clearing of the throat and airways of any debris, phlegm etc could be done by this coughing which is a natural process. When constant dry cough is present in babies then it might be due to allergy. Hence child doctor must be consulted.
Presence of pink eye:
This is also an indication that the baby is having allergy. This pink eye is caused by virus and sometimes by allergy also. This could create redness in the eyes of the baby plus in discharge also. This pink eye when caused due to vital infection would spread easily but when this pink eye issue is due to allergy then it won’t spread easily. Running nose, itching sensation would be present in the babies. Pollen and dust might cause allergy to the babies and might result in this pink eye.
Presence of rashes:
Rashes affect the babies and these rashes are mostly due to allergies. The babies might be sensitive to the soaps or to the fabrics in their clothes etc and these might create rashes in them. These rashes usually go after few days and there is no need to worry. If the rashes persist for longer time then doctor must be consulted.
Breaking into hives:
Sometimes reaction to allergy or hives occurs in the infants. These hives could go away in few days of time and hives look like raised welts and move around the body. It is said that hives are due to reaction to the food or infection, medicines etc. Sometimes hives might also be due to bite of any insect etc. The reason for the hives must be found out.
Upset stomach:
Many infants suffer from this stomach upset issue and it could be due to food allergy or due to viral or some bacterial infection. Some of the symptoms of this stomach issue in babies are vomiting, diarrhoea, pain and blood in stools etc. Be careful when the baby is fed with the food.
Allergens in air:
Sometimes allergies in the newborns could also be due to many airborne allergens as the air we breathe contains so many things that could result in allergies in the babies. Certain flowers, pollen, smoke from tobacco could cause allergy to the infants. The babies must be kept in a place that is free from smoke etc.
