Our Australian board-certified doctors are here to help you manage your allergies and prevent frequent episodes.
Allergies are the body’s immune system’s response to substances that act as irritants or allergens. These irritants could be environmental, such as dust, pollen, smoke, seasonal changes, etc. However, people can also be allergic to foods and medications. This happens when your body mistakenly identifies certain foods as harmful and triggers an allergic reaction.
At Telehealth Dr, our experts not only work on managing your symptoms but also educate you to identify and avoid triggers – which is crucial for effective allergy management in the long run.

Allergies are a long-term condition that cannot be completely cured. They occur due to multiple triggers and exposure to them can lead to recurring symptoms. While you may experience periods of relief, allergies tend to persist. However, it is important to note that some allergic reactions can be dangerous and can lead to anaphylaxis – a life-threatening reaction that requires immediate emergency care

Allergies are usually treated with medications such as antihistamines, nasal sprays, or eye drops to relieve symptoms. In some cases, doctors may recommend allergy shots or other treatments to reduce the body’s sensitivity to allergens. Avoiding the allergens is also an important part of treatment.
An allergy happens when your body’s immune system reacts to a substance (allergen) as if it’s harmful, even if it’s not. Common allergens include pollen, dust, certain foods, and insect stings.
Common allergy symptoms include sneezing, runny or stuffy nose, itchy or watery eyes, coughing, wheezing or shortness of breath, skin rashes or hives, and swelling – especially around the face, lips, or throat.
Certain foods can cause allergic reactions in some people, ranging from mild symptoms to more severe ones. Common food allergens include peanuts, tree nuts like almonds and walnuts, milk, eggs, fish, shellfish such as shrimp and crab, wheat, and soy. People with food allergies must be cautious, as even small amounts of these foods can trigger reactions.
You can manage allergies at home by taking over-the-counter or prescribed allergy medications. People with known allergies should always have an allergy kit at home with medications that can manage symptoms, such as epinephrine to manage any sudden allergic reaction. You can also take preventive measures at home to minimise risks.
