What Is Allergy?
An allergy is an overreaction of the immune system to something that is normally harmless, such as pollen, dust, food, medicines or insect stings. Effects range from a runny nose and rash to, rarely, a life-threatening emergency.

- Itchy skin, rash or hives
- Stomach upset after eating certain foods
- Itchy, red or watery eyes
- Sneezing, runny or blocked nose
Care and Treatment for Allergy
The doctor asks about the trigger and your symptoms, looks at any rash or swelling on camera, recommends antihistamines or other treatment and prescribes if appropriate. Typical choices are antihistamines, nasal sprays, eye drops, skin creams and, for severe allergy, emergency medicine such as adrenaline.
- Wash skin that has touched the trigger
- Move away from the trigger where you can
- Keep a list of what seems to set it off
