What is Allergies?

An allergy is a damaging reaction of your body’s immune system to particular substances such as dust, fur, pollen or a specific food. The immune system tends to produces substances called antibodies. Few of such antibodies protect us from unnecessary invaders that can cause us infection or make us ill. In case of having allergies, the immune system then produces antibodies which identify certain allergen as ‘dangerous’ however, it is not. At the time of contact with that particular allergen, the reaction of the immune system can inflame the person’s sinuses, skin, digestive or airways system.
Severity differs from individual to individual ranging from slight irritation- anaphylaxis (critical emergency). Whereas many allergies are incurable, numerous treatments tend to greatly help relieving the symptoms.

What are the Symptoms of Allergies?

Your symptoms greatly depend on the specific allergy you have and may involve nasal passages, airways, sinuses, digestive system and skin. Allergic reactions tend to range from minor to severe. Moreover, in few serious cases, allergies cause a severe reaction called anaphylaxis in the body.

  2. Watery, swollen or itchy eyes.
  3. Congestion.
