FAQS
What are allergies?
Allergies are the immune system’s response to substances that are not harmful to most people. These substances, called allergens, can cause symptoms from mild to severe, depending on the individual and the allergen involved.
The most common allergens include pollen, dust mites, animal dander, mould, insect stings, certain foods and certain medications.
What are the symptoms of allergies?
The symptoms of allergies can vary depending on the individual and the allergen involved, but common symptoms include sneezing, itching, runny nose, watery eyes, hives, swelling and difficulty breathing.
How are allergies treated?
Allergies are usually diagnosed through skin tests or blood tests. Skin tests involve applying small amounts of allergens to the skin and observing the reaction, while blood tests measure the levels of antibodies to specific allergens in the blood.
Treatment for allergies can include avoiding the allergen, medications such as antihistamines or corticosteroids, and immunotherapy, which involves gradually exposing the individual to increasing amounts of the allergen over time to build immunity.
If you suspect you have allergies, speak with a healthcare professional. They can help diagnose your allergy and recommend appropriate treatment options. If you experience a severe allergic reaction, seek emergency medical attention immediately.
Can allergies be dangerous?
Allergies can be dangerous, especially if the individual experiences a severe allergic reaction known as anaphylaxis. Anaphylaxis can cause symptoms such as difficulty breathing, swelling of the face and throat, and a rapid drop in blood pressure, requiring immediate medical attention.
What is asthma?
Asthma is a chronic respiratory condition that affects the airways in the lungs. It causes inflammation and narrowing of the airways, making it difficult to breathe. Various factors trigger it, including allergens such as pollen or dust mites, irritants such as smoke or air pollution, exercise, cold air, stress and certain medications.
What are the symptoms of asthma?
Asthma symptoms can vary from person to person, but common symptoms include coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness and difficulty breathing.
How is asthma treated?
Asthma is usually diagnosed based on a combination of symptoms, medical history, and lung function tests such as spirometry. Your healthcare provider may also perform allergy testing to identify any allergens triggering your asthma.
Asthma treatment usually involves a combination of medications and lifestyle changes. Medications may include bronchodilators to open up the airways, corticosteroids to reduce inflammation and leukotriene modifiers to decrease inflammation and relax the airways. Lifestyle changes may include avoiding triggers, staying active and managing stress.
If you suspect you have asthma, speak with your healthcare provider. They can help diagnose your asthma and recommend appropriate treatment options.
Can asthma be dangerous?
Asthma can be dangerous, especially if left untreated or an asthma attack is severe. Severe asthma attacks can cause extreme shortness of breath, chest pain and a bluish tint to the lips and face and require emergency medical attention.
If you experience a severe asthma attack, seek emergency medical attention immediately.
