Written on the front
Lin Lin is 9 years old this year, since the second grade of primary school began to rub his nose repeatedly, it was autumn, Lin Lin's parents thought that the child had a cold or the weather was too dry in autumn, because the symptoms were not very serious, so they did not take Lin Lin to the doctor, nor did they take medicine. Unexpectedly, at the end of the semester, Lin Lin would still rub his nose repeatedly, and the parents paid attention to it, and took it to the hospital The doctor said that Lin Lin was allergic rhinitis, so he prescribed some medicine, persisted for a while, and the symptoms were finally alleviated. But the good times didn't last long, after an interval of 2 months, Lin Lin began to rub his nose again, and rubbing his nose more frequently, if he didn't rub it, he would suck his nose or wrinkle his nose frequently. In the end, Lin Lin's parents listened to the advice of their relatives and brought Lin Lin hereGuangzhou Angel Children's HospitalDirector Shi Chunlei inquired about the situation and carefully observed the clinic, and after the final examination, he was diagnosed with Tourette's syndrome.
Looking at the confused parents,Director Shi ChunleiExplain: Children with allergies are more likely to develop tics than other children. For example, if rhinitis is not cured for a long time, it is actually likely to cause the child to further evolve from repeated nose rubbing to sniffing and wrinkling the nose.
"Tourette's" and "allergies".
Many parents wonder whether there is a relationship between Tourette's syndrome and allergies, in fact, there are many causes of Tourette's syndrome, and allergies are also one of the clinical studies.
Allergic diseasesIt is the most common chronic disease in children, including eczema, allergic conjunctivitis, allergic rhinitis, bronchial asthma, food allergies, etc., which have been shown to increase the risk of neuropsychiatric disorders, such as ADHD, Tourette's syndrome, autism, oppositional defiant disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, etc.
Therefore, many children with Tourette's syndrome who are prone to allergies will gradually improve with the prolongation of ** or avoidance of allergenic foods after using anti-allergic** or avoiding allergenic foods.
"Allergies" and "neurodevelopmental disorders".
Why are allergic diseases rising in a straight line today, when people's living standards are increasing day by day? There are many factors that can trigger allergies: environmental changes, diet, lifestyle habits, immune imbalances, and so on.
Allergy is an abnormal immune response that causes tissue cell damage or physiological dysfunction as the primary outcome. After the allergen enters the body, the body is sensitized and produces antibodies, and when the allergen enters the body again, it will combine with the antibodies in the body, so that the body will have a series of allergic reactions.
Scientists have also been on the onset of neurological disorders.
A study in the United States proved that 250 patients with mental abnormalities were observed with food allergies, and it was found that the people who reacted most strongly to food were the people with the most severe mental abnormalities.
Scientists in Taiwan have investigated the relationship between respiratory, ** and psychiatric problems and found that people with some of the most common ** and respiratory sensitivities are more likely to have mental problems.
On February 15, 2021, an expert et al. published in Pediatric Neurology the article "Understanding the Links Between Allergies and Neurodevelopmental Disorders: A Review of Current Factors and Mechanisms" elaborated that there is a hypothetical link between allergies and neurodevelopmental disorders, and that children with ADHD and Tourette's syndrome are found to be at greater risk of comorbid allergic diseases, while immune dysregulation and inflammation have been recorded as typical markers of the coexistence of allergies and neurodevelopmental conditions.
All of the above suggests that the pathophysiology of allergic and neurodevelopmental disorders is closely related.
The best prevention
Keep away from allergens
The best prevention of food allergies is to avoid foods that can easily cause allergies, such as shrimp, mango, pineapple and other foods.
Timely**
If parents find that their child is suffering from allergic diseases, such as allergic rhinitis, pharyngitis, etc., they must give their children the most timely ** to reduce the probability of inducing their children to suffer from Tourette's syndrome.
As children grow older and their digestive functions gradually develop and improve, the incidence of food allergies decreases, which also means that as children get older, the risk of developing various neurodevelopmental diseases, such as Tourette's syndrome, ADHD, etc.
