Allergies

What are allergies?


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 TelehealthDr, 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.

What are common types of allergies?


There are many types of allergies, but the most common include:

    • Seasonal allergies – which are triggered by pollen from trees, grasses, or weeds. Symptoms include sneezing, runny nose, itchy eyes, and congestion.
    • Food allergies – which occur when the body reacts to certain foods like nuts, eggs, milk, or shellfish. Symptoms can range from mild rashes to severe reactions like anaphylaxis.
    • Dust and pet allergies – which can cause symptoms like rash, hives, and breathing issues.
    • Insect sting allergies – which are reactions to bee stings or other insect bites can cause swelling, pain, and, in severe cases, anaphylaxis.

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

Frequently Asked Questions


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.
