How to cure an allergy?
Allergies ... What do we know about it? Allergies, or allergic reaction, in the opinion of immunologists-allergists, is a specific, unusual reaction of human immunity to the most common and usual phenomenon. Allergies can manifest themselves through household chemicals, house dust or animal hair, food, pollen of flowering plants, and medicines. And much more.
The allergic reaction can be different. From a slight reddening, itching or rash on some parts of the skin, lacrimation and nasal congestion to life-threatening conditions such as Quincke's edema or anaphylactic shock, in which first aid should be given in the shortest possible time (otherwise even death is possible). But in this article we will not talk about allergic reactions, from which a person can die very quickly, this is a topic of a separate study.
Is it possible (and how) to cure an allergy and thatDo you need to make sure that the allergic reaction is no longer manifested? Why a person begins to react to these or other substances, products, etc. - is unknown, but, of course, this contributes to poor nutrition, the ecological situation, the way of life in general. With each year there are new allergens, and the diseases take place in a more severe form. And the question of how to cure an allergy, there is no single answer. But it is possible and necessary to ease the life of the sufferer. To do this, it is necessary to identify the allergen, a substance that a person's immune system responded to with an inadequate reaction. So, for example, the treatment of food allergies can be reduced to identifying and excluding from the diet of an unsuitable product (or products). At the same time, the patient's condition improves significantly. But it is quite difficult to calculate such a provocateur. And not always as food allergens are food dyes, preservatives and flavors, as is commonly believed. Quite often there is an allergy, for example, to chicken eggs. In this case, they can be replaced with quail eggs, which are hypoallergenic. Also, berries, fruits and vegetables (especially red and orange), milk, fish, seafood, etc., can act as an allergen.
Many people react to the flowering of plants, they havedevelops a seasonal allergic rhinitis, the treatment of which often reduces to drug treatment, that is, to taking antihistamines that relieve allergy symptoms. Here it is necessary to say that modern antihistamines are taken once a day, greatly facilitate the life of the patient without causing him drowsiness. The allergist doctor will help to determine what caused the reaction, and will consult, making tests, how to cure the allergy (in this case seasonal, on the pollen of plants). Of course, it will not be possible to completely avoid contact with the allergen, but some measures can be taken - at least to get rid of flowering plants in the apartment, to ventilate the dwelling after the rain, not to make trips to nature at the time of the year when the plants bloom, the pollen of which can provoke undesirable reaction. etc. Even such simple actions as daily wet house cleaning, showering and changing clothes after the street often significantly reduce the allergic rhinitis that appears as a reaction to the flowering of plants.
As a summary: answer the question posed, how to cure an allergy, at the moment you will not be able to any allergist, but he can help cope with the manifestations of this disease and greatly improve the quality of life. Do not engage in self-medication for allergies (despite the abundance of advertising in the media), because even a not very pronounced rash can be a big problem if it is not cured - in this case it can be complicated by the attachment of a bacterial infection. In addition, allergic reactions tend to increase, that is, if you do not take any action, a minor runny nose, cough, etc., may eventually develop into asthma or another life-threatening disease.
