With the rise in temperature and humidity, this is the season when dust mites thrive. Children who have tested positive for dust mite allergies through skin prick tests at the clinic may experience symptoms like a runny nose or itchy eyes in the morning ? these could be due to reactions to mites. Additionally, with increased sweating during this season, skin irritation can become more common. If your child is already visiting our clinic for skin care, you may need to adjust the frequency of maintenance treatments with topical steroids. For children undergoing asthma management, especially those who have not yet started sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT), there is a higher chance of wheezing after catching a cold or after physical activities. For younger children, if coughing persists, please consider visiting us for a checkup. For children aged 4 and older who are tracking their peak flow (PEF) at home, please be extra careful if you notice a continuous drop in PEF values ? in such cases, it may be necessary to start using a bronchodilator (such as Meptin Air?). If you have any concerns, don’t hesitate to contact us.
