What to Do When You Have Allergy

By Dean Reed Carlson • November 22, 2009

Allergy is the result when the immune system of the body responds to certain substances present in the environment. Allergic reactions are activated by allergens. These reactions are manifested by nettle-like rash, coughing, runny nose, shortness of breath, sneezing, severe wheezing, inflammation of the sinus, and eye and ear itchiness.

An allergy can take place due to a number of reasons. Examples of which are breathing in dust, chemicals and medicines, touching grass, insect bites and eating allergy-inducing food. Certain kinds of allergy include Bronchitis, Asthma, Dermatitis, Eczema and Urticaria.

Asthma may be set off by particular things such as hairs of household pets that may be encountered especially when playing with them. Another source also is the scent of some clothes which may bring about an asthma attack. Other causes of asthma are eating or drinking something cold, consuming sweets or inhaling dust.

Using inhalers with Rotacap, such as Asthalin, can relieve sufferers of asthma. A licensed physician can advice patients the level of use of an inhaler relative to the severity of his condition. As a counteractive move, try to stay away from allergens as much as possible. Chemicals, shoes, plants and clothing can cause Dermatitis and Eczema.

Eczema and Dermatitis can be effectively managed by applying topical creams and taking antibiotics. A manifestation of Urticaria is itchiness that later develops into wheals or hives. These are caused by fabric finishers, synthetic fabrics, soaps, laundry detergents, hair products and cosmetics. Allergens like plants and chemical vapors may also cause hives.

The remedies can be used more effectively with a medical specialist’s advice. Regardless of the cause, refrain from taking medication on your own, as this could set off another health concern. It is wise to visit a doctor before applying these remedies.
