About 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. Reactions range from a runny nose and rash to, rarely, a intense emergency.
Why allergy happens
Exposure to pollen, dust mites, animal fur, particular foods, medicines, stings or plants. New foods and surroundings on holiday can reveal allergies you never knew about.
How allergy is treated
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 appropriate. Typical choices are antihistamines, nasal sprays, eye drops, skin creams and, for severe allergy, emergency medicine such as adrenaline.
- Move away from the trigger where you can
- Keep a list of what seems to set it off
- Rinse eyes and nose with clean water or saline
- Wash skin that has touched the trigger
