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.
Symptoms of allergy
- Stomach upset after eating certain foods
- Itchy skin, rash or hives
- Itchy, red or watery eyes
- Swollen lips, face or eyelids
- Sneezing, runny or blocked nose
Causes and risk factors
Contact with an allergen such as pollen, dust mites, pet fur, certain foods, medicines, stings or plants. Holiday meals and unfamiliar places sometimes uncover an allergy for the first time.
Treatment options for allergy in Bozburun
The physician asks about the trigger and your symptoms, looks at the rash or swelling on camera, advises on antihistamines or other treatment and prescribes if appropriate. Depending on your case, the doctor may suggest antihistamines, nasal sprays, eye drops, skin creams and, for intense allergy, emergency medicine such as adrenaline.
- Move away from the trigger where you can
- Wash skin that has touched the trigger
- Keep a list of what seems to set it off
