Understanding Allergy
An allergy is an overreaction of the immune system to something that is normally harmless, such as pollen, dust, food, medicines or insect stings. Effects range from a runny nose and rash to, rarely, a life-threatening emergency.
What Can Cause Allergy
Contact with an allergen such as pollen, dust mites, animal fur, certain foods, medicines, insect stings or plants. Holiday meals and unfamiliar places sometimes uncover an allergy for the first time.
Care and Treatment for Allergy
You describe the trigger and symptoms, the doctor views a rash or swelling by video, suggests antihistamines or other options and prescribes where suitable. Treatment can involve antihistamines, nasal sprays, eye drops, skin creams and, for intense allergy, emergency medicine such as adrenaline.
- Move away from the trigger where you can
- Rinse eyes and nose with clean water or saline
- Keep a list of what seems to set it off
- Wash skin that has touched the trigger
