Allergies
Allergies are a common and often chronic condition that occurs when the body's immune system overreacts to a harmless substance, such as pollen, pet dander, or certain foods.
Allergies can be seasonal or can occur year-round
When a person with allergies comes into contact with an allergen, their immune system produces antibodies that identify the allergen as a harmful substance. These antibodies then trigger the release of histamine and other chemicals in the body, causing inflammation and a range of symptoms.
Common allergens include pollen, mold spores, dust mites, pet dander, certain foods (such as peanuts, tree nuts, shellfish, and eggs), and insect venom. In some cases, allergies can develop at any age, while in others, they may be present from early childhood.
Our team of experienced healthcare professionals is dedicated to helping you overcome your symptoms and regain your health.
Symptoms
Symptoms of allergies can range from mild to severe and may vary depending on the type and severity of the allergy. Common symptoms of allergies include:
- Sneezing
- Runny or stuffy nose
- Itchy or watery eyes
- Skin rash or hives
- Swelling of the lips, tongue, or face
How diagnosis is made?
To diagnose allergies, a doctor may perform several tests to determine the specific allergen causing your symptoms.
Skin prick test
A small amount of a suspected allergen is placed on the skin, and the area is pricked or scratched to see if a reaction occurs.
Blood tests
A sample of your blood is tested for the presence of antibodies to specific allergens.
Elimination diet
A diet that eliminates certain foods is followed, and then those foods are gradually reintroduced to identify any allergic reactions.
Patch test
A small amount of a suspected allergen is placed on a patch, which is then placed on the skin to see if a reaction occurs.
