Why Allergy Happens
Contact with an allergen such as pollen, dust mites, animal fur, certain foods, medicines, insect stings or plants. New foods and new surroundings on holiday can bring out allergies you did not know you had.
Allergy Explained
An allergy is an overreaction of the immune system to something normally harmless, such as pollen, dust, food, medicines or insect stings. Reactions range from a runny nose and rash to, rarely, a severe emergency.
How Allergy Feels
- Sneezing, runny or blocked nose
- Itchy skin, rash or hives
- Stomach upset after eating certain foods
- Itchy, red or watery eyes
Preventing Allergy
Avoid known triggers, read food labels, ask restaurants about ingredients and carry your regular allergy medicine when you travel.
Getting Allergy Treated in Besiktas
The doctor asks about the trigger and your symptoms, looks at the rash or swelling on camera, advises on antihistamines or other treatment and prescribes if suitable. Depending on your case, the physician may suggest antihistamines, nasal sprays, eye drops, skin creams and, for intense allergy, emergency medicine such as adrenaline.
- Rinse eyes and nose with clean water or saline
