Environmental Allergies

Overview:

Environmental allergies, also known as allergic rhinitis or hay fever, occur when the immune system overreacts to harmless substances like pollen, dust mites, mold, or pet dander. Symptoms include sneezing, runny or congested nose, itchy eyes, throat irritation, and postnasal drip. Seasonal allergies (caused by pollen) and perennial allergies (year-round allergens like dust mites) can significantly affect quality of life.

Treatments

Medications

Antihistamines, decongestants, and nasal corticosteroids help reduce allergy symptoms.

Allergy Testing

Skin or blood tests can identify specific allergens to tailor treatment.

Immunotherapy

Allergy shots or sublingual tablets can desensitize the immune system over time.

Lifestyle Modifications

Using HEPA filters, reducing exposure to allergens, and frequent cleaning can help manage symptoms.
