Allergies

Introduction
It is just a harmless sensitive reaction to something, which is very common, and does not seem to have any bad effect. It attacks on immune system of a body and can show its effect where immune system is very sensitive to the allergy-causing agent, such as dust or tiny particles of pepper. Criteria of getting allergies are different for different people. If a person is not allergic of dust, he may have no reaction but the other person may have sniffing and cough.

Causes
Many of the daily routine substances can cause allergy to a person. Mostly the gate of the allergic substance to enter a body is the mouth then nose. Insect’s sting can cause allergies such as of spider. Dust is also a great cause of allergy. Some people are drug sensitive. Some times it happens that intake of a medicine, which may have a substance which a person is allergic to, can cause allergy. However, mostly the cause of the allergy is very hard to find, as it is one of the routine things. Weather can also be a factor of allergy, some people catch cold when ever weather changes.

Risk Factors
Any one can be allergic of anything irrespective of age and gender. Sometimes, small kids under 3 years of age and even younger than that can be allergic to anything.

Symptoms & Signs
Sometimes allergy can cause cold and fever, rashes and irritation can be a part of it. Sneezing and running nose is also noticeable. Eyes may start watering. Cold and shiver can also be seen. Allergies have mild as well as severe reactions. It can result in emotional stress too.

Diagnosis
Usually the person who has it than anyone else better knows the cause of allergy.Immunotherapy can help to find the cause of allergy.

Prevention
Intake of good quantity of vitamin C may help to build a better immune system. Because if the immune system is strong, the body becomes less reactive to such allergens. Once the cause is known keep away from the allergen that caused the allergy. Keep your immune system healthy by providing it with rich nutrients.

Treatment
The most basic treatment is taking of antibiotic, as allergy is caused due to entrance of foreign elements in the body, which react with the white blood cells. Sometimes, siblings inherit allergies from the parents. In that case, the physician may have to do the case reading of the family. Anti biotic is one of the reliefs from the allergies. However, no surgery can be carried out in order to escape the allergy.

Home Care Suggestions
A person should try to avoid dust and other tiny particles by wearing a mask. Keep your environment as clean as possible, change the sheets and cushion covers. Air filter can also be used to clean the air inside your home. If you have, pets make sure that they stay outside the house or they are clean when they are sitting inside.
