At what point do we stop calling it a nursery bug? 🤧 As parents, we expect coughs, colds and sniffles. But when symptoms seem to linger for weeks or even months, it can be worth asking a different question: Could allergies be playing a role? Many allergy symptoms can look surprisingly similar to a lingering cold, including: 🤧 Sneezing 👃 A blocked or runny nose 👀 Itchy, watery or irritated eyes 😮‍💨 Coughing, wheezing or asthma symptoms 😴 Poor sleep or restless nights 🩹 Itchy skin, eczema flare-ups or skin irritation Common allergy triggers include: 🛏️ Dust mites in mattresses, bedding, carpets, soft furnishings and cuddly toys 🐾 Pet allergens 🌼 Pollen that enters the home through open windows and can also be carried indoors on clothing, shoes and pets 🍄 Mould spores in damp areas According to Allergy UK, dust mites, pets, pollen and mould are among the most common triggers of allergic disease. These allergens can affect the nose, eyes, skin and lungs. Research has also shown a strong association between dust mite allergy and asthma. For some children, symptoms may be more noticeable during the night, first thing in the morning, after spending time in bedrooms, or after close contact with pets. If symptoms keep returning, allergy testing may help identify whether allergens are contributing.
