About allergy
An allergy is an overreaction of the immune system to something normally harmless, such as pollen, dust, food, medicines or insect stings. They can be as mild as sniffles and a rash, or, rarely, serious.
How allergy is treated

Treatment can involve antihistamines, nasal sprays, eye drops, skin creams and, for intense allergy, emergency medicine such as adrenaline.
