Allergy is a common condition in many people around the world. Its symptoms often resemble the symptoms of other illnesses, which prevent us from properly treating an allergic reaction.
Because allergies can be fatal, we would like to share with you some methods for recognizing certain allergy symptoms so that you can respond quickly.
1. Cold-like symptoms
If you find that you are constantly coughing, it may be a sign of an allergy. In the case of a cold, a cough comes with a sore throat and inflammation. If these symptoms are not present, the cough may be caused by an allergic reaction.
2. Skin rashes
It has become common to assume that a rash in the hot summer period is nothing more than a sign of an insect bite. However, it is important to realize that even a mosquito bite can cause an allergic reaction. You should also pay attention to parts of the body that come into contact with your clothing; if there is a rash in that area, your skin may be reacting to the fabric or the detergent you use.
3. Itchy eyes, swollen eyelids
One of the most common allergic reactions is itching and swelling of the eyes. This symptom mostly occurs when in contact with pollen or with Petrol.
Pay attention to swelling on the face and other parts of the body. This symptom often indicates a reaction due to an allergy to specific foods.
A few tips!
A doctor will be able to identify the substances that cause the allergy more precisely if you keep a diary. Write detailed descriptions of your allergic reactions, under what conditions they occurred and what steps preceded them.
Always have some allergy medication (antihistamines) on hand.
If your allergic reactions occur more than once a week, even after taking antihistamines, visit a doctor.
