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. They can be as mild as sniffles and a rash, or, rarely, serious.
Avoiding Allergy on Holiday
Avoid known triggers, read food labels, ask restaurants about ingredients and carry your regular allergy medicine when you travel.
Care and Treatment for Allergy
The doctor asks about the trigger and your symptoms, looks at the rash or swelling on camera, advises on antihistamines or other treatment and prescribes if suitable. 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
- Keep a list of what seems to set it off
- Move away from the trigger where you can
- Rinse eyes and nose with clean water or saline
