To return to school is inevitable that the environmental hygiene of the school is not equal to that of his home, where parents have taken all the rules preventing the allergy to mites. So you should treat children with preventive medication topical (sodium cromoglicic for example, in the form of nasal sprays, eye drops or spray aerosoldosato with spacers) starting about 20 days before returning to school and continuing for about a month.

Different is the situation of children who are undergoing therapy iposensibilizzante, as such therapy carries a good protective effect: in this case you should adjust the dose of therapy that you are taking into account this higher exposure (therefore reducing doses normally performed).

A home that is also the time to strengthen the preventive measures against the mite: change cushion, review the status of antiacarus linings, use the vacuum cleaner more frequently, most often to ventilate the bedroom, wash more frequently all the bedding.

A school must take every precaution to reduce the concentration of mites: the first important thing is to keep windows open as possible to facilitate ventilation and reduce moisture inside (during the summer schools remain closed for place the ideal conditions to increase the concentration of mites); important thing is to use the vacuum cleaner in the classrooms much more than normal.
