Allergy
Description
The word allergy is used to describe an amplified reaction of the immune system to ordinary substances that are typically not harmful. In case of an allergy, the immune system becomes hypersensitive to substances that are otherwise harmless. There are various types of allergies and amongst them, the most common ones are food allergy and pollen allergy.
Causes
Common allergy activators are:
- Allergens found in the air such as pollen, animal dander, and dust mites,
- Certain food items such as mushroom, peanut, soy, eggs, and milk,
- Insects,
- Medicines such as penicillin,
- Latex,
- Stress,
- Environmental factors.
Risk factors
Risk factors for allergy can be classified into two broad categories, the first one including factors related to host, and the second one includes environmental factors. Host factors include a history of allergy or allergic diseases like asthma (swelling and narrowing of airways) in the family, people suffering from asthma as asthma is triggered by allergies, and young age as children are more prone to developing allergies. Environmental factors include prolonged exposure to allergens, growing up in a family where everyone smokes, living in an extremely polluted environment, and working in an environment where there is an increased release of chemical toxins.
Symptoms
Some common symptoms of an allergy include:
- Sneezing,
- Itchy and runny nose,
- Red and teary eyes,
- Tingling in the mouth,
- Scratchy throat,
- Swelling at the sting site,
- Rash (change in color and texture of skin),
- Itchy skin,
- Cough and wheezing (whistling sounds on breathing).
Diagnosis
To reach a diagnosis, your doctor will take your thorough medical and family history, will ask you questions regarding the symptoms that you are experiencing, and may perform some allergy tests to find out the cause of your allergy.
Management
The first step in the management of an allergy is to avoid all factors that trigger your allergy. To subside your symptoms, your doctor may prescribe you some antihistamine medicines, decongestants for a blocked or stuffy nose, and steroids incase of serious inflammation caused by an allergic reaction.
When to consult a doctor?
You should consult a doctor if there is worsening of your condition, anti-allergy medicines fail to provide you relief, or if you experience new symptoms after starting a new medicine.
