About allergy
An allergy is an overreaction of the immune system to something 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.
Common triggers
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
You describe the trigger and symptoms, the doctor views a rash or swelling by video, suggests antihistamines or other options and prescribes where suitable. Options may include antihistamines, nasal sprays, eye drops, skin creams and, for intense allergy, emergency medicine such as adrenaline.
- Keep a list of what seems to set it off
- Rinse eyes and nose with clean water or saline
- Move away from the trigger where you can
