ASTHMA IN CHILDREN: THE INHALED ALLERGENS – ANIMALS AS ALLERGENS- A GENERAL RULE

Posted by admin

A child may be allergic to domestic animals like cat, dog, horse, fur-bearing and feather-bearing animals. A thorough clinical history gives a clue to the diagnosis. As in other forms of allergy, here also, it should be understood that children may have come in contact with a cat, dog or horse, and never exhibited any symptoms, but may develop them later without any apparent reason.
Exposure to animal allergens in children who are already allergic to house dust, may lead to an increase of symptoms. In a similar manner, removal of animal allergens may lessen symptoms.
As a general rule children should be made to avoid the allergenic agent. This applies not only to the offending pets in the house, but also to animals in the houses of other people they visit.
Getting rid of pets is not easy but if it is not done allergic symptoms are likely to continue.
