thanku very much 4 ur concern and suggetions........such advices are always welcomed........
thanks doctor 4 ur suggestion..........we have already consulted a skin specialist and above said precautions have been suggested by him. now when i became aware of this ige level....i remember an incident which took place abt 2-3 yrs ago...i applied a paste of almond and milk on her face and after few mnts red rashes appeared on her face..i wiped the face immediately and massage her face with coconut oil and the rashes disappeared after that. can the kids be allergic to almonds.she loves to eat cashews and almonds. not very frequently but once or twice in a week she takes them from refrigerator and eat. can this be the reason..????????
Hi, her symptoms are suggestive of atopic or allergic dermatitis, secondary to exposure to allergen and mediated by IgE antibodies. Her body is known to hypersensitive to certain things.
Stinging insects, Aeroallergens (uncommon), Foods and additives like Milk, egg, peanuts, nuts, soy, and wheat are the most common agents to cause such dermatitis in children.
This triggering factor should be identified and should be avoided. I quite agree with bsmsl, a skin allergy test can be useful.
Treatment includes anti histaminic and glucocorticoids against prescription.
Other causes needed to be ruled out are drug reaction, Stevens-Johnson syndrome etc. If drug allergy is suspected she needs to discontinue the drug and report to your doctor immediately.
I suggest you to consult her to a skin specialist and also to rule out other causes of white patches like Tinea versicolor, seborrhea, pityriasis rosea etc. Take care and regards.
What?!! That is a bit over reactive in my opinion. To take away all the joys of childhood over a high IgE.
Yes, 140 is high, but I have seen results A LOT higher than that.
I would recommend allergy testing and possibly shots. Treat the allergies with shots and possibly antihistamines (oral and nasal) and give the child a normal life. There are a lot of options available before becoming so restrictive in her life style.
I hope you are able to find someone who is truly willing to help her be a normal child and not a recluse.
