Toddler Allergies

Toddlers Asthma is a chronic inflammatory bronchial airways in children under three years. This inflammation can cause the normal function of the respiratory tract of a small child to become inflamed and produce mucus can in lung tissue. Accordingly, an asthmatic may experience airway obstruction, chest tightness, coughing and wheezing. If symptoms worsen, it can also cause acute shortness of breath and oxygen in the blood. Asthma in toddlers is a major concern for many parents around the world.

There are three main causes of childhood asthma:

• Allergic reactions
• non-allergic reactions to irritants in the air
• viral respiratory

It is estimated that over 50 percent of asthma symptoms in young children and infants are due to allergies. In fact, allergies are closely linked to child asthma. The most common pollutants allergic to the house dust mites and the protein produced by their droppings.

Statistics asthma in children

Asthma is considered the leading cause of chronic diseases of children in the United States. In 2007, 7.2 million children aged under 18 (over 1.5 million under 5) are suspected to have symptoms of severe asthma. As many as 2 million children are considered at risk for undiagnosed asthma.

What is hidden asthma?

Asthma is an enigma hidden common to many health care providers and is a common concern for parents of a child seems to have asthma. Many times, parents of a child or a young child with asthma symptoms are said to limit the hidden activity levels of their child until the correct diagnosis can be made.

Make your home a haven of HEPA

There are thousands of air pollutants that can be found in the house as pollen, mold spores, dust mites and house dust. However, it is the small (sub-micron) particles that cause asthma symptoms more, while at home. These small particles are between 5 and 50 microns and particles less than 10 microns represent over 97% of all particles in a typical house number. An infant or young child may breathe as much as 6.500 quarts of air per day. It is therefore important to control these small particles in the home environment and in particular in the room where the child sleeps. Regular use of a HEPA filter and a portable HEPA air purifier in the room where the child or grand child spends the greatest amount of their time to greatly reduce these pollutants causing asthma. I have had many customers in the last 26 years have been very successful in reducing the symptoms of their child's asthma with regular use of HEPA cleaning devices. With HEPA technology appropriately with the appropriate drugs against asthma may reduce symptoms of a child while at home.
