Allergies are a big problem today, because of which an increasing number of people suffer. A lot is known about allergies, but some things are still shrouded in mystery. We bring you an overview of the latest discoveries that will clarify a lot about allergies.
'Never Worse'
Every year we hear that this is the worst time for allergy sufferers. Is it true or just an exaggeration? Experts say that this is true and that is because the climate is really changing, and this is worsening the situation for allergy sufferers.
Don't be your own doctor
Many people think they are allergic to various things, but this may not be true. It's best to be tested by an expert, the only way you'll find out what you're really allergic to. If you pretend to be your own doctor, you could only make the situation worse.
Be careful with medicines
For some people, the usual anti-allergy drugs, that is, those that are supposed to reduce allergy symptoms, do not help. Medicines are a very individual thing, so it would be good to try to choose the one that suits you best with the doctor, and not to choose them yourself.
Injections
Allergy shots help many people, but they are not for everyone. If, for example, you are allergic exclusively to ragweed, then it is a one-season allergy and in that case injections are not recommended. They are better for people who suffer from multiple types of allergies and in multiple seasons.
Timely treatment
Although they are aware that they have an allergy, many people do not start treatment in time and their unpleasant symptoms worsen even more. Don't let it happen to you because the situation is difficult to fix once the symptoms start...
Be careful with the kilos
Allergy sufferers don't really like to hear this, but they have to be careful with their weight, especially those who suffer from asthma. Excess weight affects the work of the lungs, so the situation can become serious, experts warn.
Imperceptible allergy
Are you surprised that your allergies did not appear until later in life? It is very likely that you had symptoms as a child, but you did not notice them, that is, you did not associate them with an allergy. For example, childhood bronchitis was probably caused by asthma, reports B92.
