Description

Is house dust mite allergy the hidden cause of year-round sneezing, blocked nose, wheeze, or eczema in children?

In this episode of Hope & Histamine: The Paediatric Allergy Podcast, we explore house dust mite allergy—one of the most common triggers of persistent allergic symptoms in children and adults. This episode explains what house dust mites are, why they cause allergy, and how exposure inside the home can drive ongoing symptoms such as allergic rhinitis, asthma, cough, and eczema.

We cover:

• What house dust mites are and where they live
• Common symptoms of house dust mite allergy in children
• How house dust mite allergy is diagnosed
• Evidence-based strategies to reduce exposure at home
• When to consider medications and allergy specialist referral

With clear, practical advice and up-to-date evidence, this episode helps families and clinicians understand how to manage symptoms effectively—without unnecessary measures or anxiety.
