Allergy Symptoms
Allergy Symptoms vary depending on
the sensitivity itself, from one person to another. Allergy symptoms may appear
in the respiratory airways in the sinuses and nasal passages, the skin and in
the gastrointestinal tract. Constitute the reaction allergies, in most cases, a
nuisance and a narrow but minor allergy symptoms. The reactions in the case of
severe allergies may be more dangerous, because it may affect the members of
several organs in the body. But in the most severe cases of allergies, it is
possible to provoke allergic reaction may cause death. This phenomenon is known
Baltoq (Anaphylaxis - a severe allergic response with hypersensitivity to
proteins or other substances that lead to severe disorders of the respiratory
and circulatory / vascular).
Hay
fever (OR: hay - Hay
Fever) fever, also called allergic rhinitis, it can cause:
- Nasal congestion, itching
- Runny nose
- Aladmaa or swelling in the eyes - Conjunctivitis.
Atopic Dermatitis, also known as Eczema, may cause:
- Itching of the skin
- Redness of the skin
- Bedsore
Food Allergy may cause:
- Baltqrs feeling in the mouth
- Swelling of the lips, tongue, face
or throat
- Hives (Urticaria)
- Anaphylaxis.
Allergies to insect stings may cause:
- Swelling in a wide area Edema around the sting site
- Itching or hives all over the body
- Cough, contractions in the chest,
and wheezing Gobble breathing or shortness of breath time
- Anaphylaxis.
Drug Sensitivity (Drug Allergy) may cause:
- Urticaria
- Itching
- Skin rash
- Swelling of the face
- Gobble wheezing and breathing time
- Anaphylaxis.
Anaphylaxis
Some types of
allergies, including food allergies and allergies to insect stings, you may
cause serious phenomenon known as anaphylaxis, this sensitivity may lead to
death and require immediate medical treatment. These allergies affect many
members of the body and its organs has caused shock.
Signs and symptoms of anaphylaxis include:
- Syncope (or: loss of consciousness
- Syncope)
- Dizziness
- Severe shortness of breath
- Rapid and weak palpitations
- Skin rash
- Nausea and vomiting
- Swelling of the respiratory tract
airways, which may stop breathing altogether.
In the case of severe
allergic reaction, you must go to receive urgent medical
treatment immediately.
If affordable syringe
of adrenaline (Adrenaline - which is also called: epinephrine - Epinephrine)
for self-injection, it should be used immediately. Even if symptoms have
improved after an injection of adrenaline, but it should go to the emergency
department to make sure that the symptoms will not reappear once again, at the
end of the injection effect.
The causes and risk factors for allergies
Tzaralhassasah due to
an error in which the immune system is located, while recognized by a harmless
substance as a serious invasion force. In this case the immune produces
antibodies that are in a state of readiness and preparedness to fight Almstorj
permanent device. When the body is exposed to the same allergen again, the
antibodies stimulate the launch of a number of immune system chemicals, for
example Alheistaminac, that cause the symptoms of allergies.
Common materials include:
- Airborne allergens such as pollen,
animal dander, dust mites and mold.
- Some foods, especially nuts, nuts,
wheat, soy, fish, shellfish, eggs and milk.
- The poison of insects, such as bee
stings or wasp stings.
- Some drugs, especially penicillin or certain antibiotics based on penicillin.
- Natural rubber (juice to the
children produced by some plants - latex or other substances that
can cause allergic reactions in contact with the skin.
The risk of getting allergies in people
who belong to one of the following groups:
- Have a family history from allergies or asthma. The risk of developing
allergies is increasing among relatives of patients who suffer from asthma
or allergies such as hay fever, eczema or urticaria.
- Children - although that sensitivity may
appear at any stage of life, but the children are more susceptible than
adults to infection allergies. In some cases, increasing sensitivity in
children as they age. However, in many cases, allergies disappear and then
come back later in the future.
- Asthma patients or people living
with allergies - likely to develop allergies to be greater in patients
with asthma, and people suffering from a certain type of allergies are
exposed to show their sensitivity to other materials, too.
Complications Allergies
Allergies increase the risk of exposure
to other health problems, including:
- Anaphylaxis - the man who suffers
from a severe allergic reaction is more susceptible to Baltoq, which is a
reaction caused by allergies features. And associated anaphylaxis, mainly
in food allergies and allergies to insect venom.
- Other allergic - People who suffer
from one type of allergies are more likely to develop other types of
allergies.
- Asthma - People who suffer from
asthma - issued by the reaction of the immune system to affect the airway
and breathing - are more susceptible to allergies. Asthma is often caused
by exposure to allergen in the environment (asthma caused by allergies).
- Dermatitis atopic (eczema), sinusitis and ear infections or lungs - that risk increases in people
who suffer from hay fever, allergic to animals or allergies to
molds.
- Fungal infections in the sinuses
or the lungs - the risk of these diseases, and known as fungal sinusitis
(Fungal Sinusitis) and Aspergillosis disease, increases in
people who suffer from allergies to rot.
Diagnosing allergies
To determine if
someone is suffering from a certain type of allergy, the doctor:
- Ask
detailed questions about the signs and symptoms
- It is
physically examined
- Asks
detailed documentary codification of the symptoms and risk factors, alarm,
and potential
In case of food
allergies, the doctor will ask:
- Notarial
detailed codification of foods consumed
- Refrain
from eating certain foods (diet exclusionary - Elimination Diet) for a
certain period, and then asked to return to be addressed again to
determine whether a particular food is causing the allergy reaction.
The doctor may also
recommend, perform one of the following tests performed:
- Achtbaralgeld:
in this test is skin prick and subjected to minute amounts of a protein
found in Allergen is assumed. If
allergies are present, it will arise swelling (urticaria) on the test
site. Often, allergy experts will be
equipped with the best devices to conduct skin tests and understand the
results.
- Blood test: call it, sometimes, the name "adsorbed allergic radiation test" a test (RAST measures the immune reaction of a substance (allergen specific), by measuring the amount of antibodies allergens in the blood, known as ImmunoglobulinE - IgE. is sent a blood sample to a medical laboratory, where it is examined whether the (sample) containing sensitive indicators of materials (allergens) certain.
