Understanding Allergies and Their Types

Our immune system’s hyperreaction to any foreign substance that may enter the body and cause harm is known as an allergy or allergic reaction. The substances that trigger allergic reactions are called allergens. The different types of allergens include:

Airborne allergens: Mold spores, pet dander, smoke, pollution, dust mites, etc., are known to cause respiratory and skin reactions.
Food allergens: Dairy products (milk, cheese, yogurt), nuts (peanuts, cashews, walnuts), eggs, wheat, and gluten can trigger digestive and systemic allergic reactions.
Insect allergens: Bites, cockroach droppings, bee and wasp stings can lead to skin and systemic reactions.
Medication allergens: Certain drugs, such as antibiotics, aspirin, and NSAIDs, may cause allergic reactions.
Contact allergens: Substances like fragrances, latex, and nickel can cause allergic skin reactions upon contact.

SGVP Holistic Hospital offers the best allergy treatment in Ahmedabad under the expert care of top doctors.

Causes and Risk Factors of Allergy

When an individual comes in contact with an allergen, their immune system sees it as a threat and triggers an immune response, releasing chemicals like histamine that cause mild symptoms. The main causes of allergies include:

Genetics: If an individual has a family history of certain allergies, they are more likely to develop the same allergy.
Environmental exposure: Allergens such as pollen, dust, pet dander, and molds can trigger allergic reactions.
Immune system sensitivity: Some individuals have an immune system that is highly sensitive to specific allergens, leading to aggressive allergic reactions.

Signs and Symptoms of Allergy

Based on allergens, different symptoms are present in individuals. Here’s a list of some of the most common symptoms caused by allergies:

Generalized and localized pruritus (itching)
Runny, stuffy, itchy nose
Excessive sneezing and wheezing
Watery eyes
Difficulty swallowing
Hives

Severe symptoms include:

Dizziness
Loss of consciousness
Sudden drop in blood pressure
Weak pulse
Swelling in the face, mouth, or throat

Diagnosis of Allergy

Evaluation: The initial step in diagnosing any allergy is a medical history review and physical examination to identify potential triggers based on visible allergy symptoms.
Skin prick test: Small amounts of suspected allergens are placed on the skin using tiny pricks to check for raised bumps, helping identify allergens.
Blood test: A blood test measures allergy-related antibodies in the bloodstream to detect allergic reactions.
Patch test: To identify contact allergens such as latex or fragrance, allergens are placed on the skin for 48 hours to check for an allergic reaction.

Treatment Options for Allergy

There are different treatment options for allergies based on the patient’s condition.

Protection against allergens: Lifestyle modifications such as avoiding trigger foods, wearing protective clothing if allergic to insect bites, staying indoors during high pollen seasons, and using dust-proof covers for pillows and mattresses at home.
Medications for relief: Doctors prescribe various medications to manage allergic reactions. Antihistamines block the effects of histamine to reduce sneezing and itching. Nasal sprays and decongestants help relieve inflammation and congestion. For severe allergic reactions, corticosteroids and epinephrine injections are also available.
Immunotherapy: For long-term treatment, immunotherapy involves regularly administering small doses of allergens to help build tolerance over time.

At SGVP Holistic Hospital, our team of expert doctors thoroughly evaluates you and offers the most effective method for allergy treatment in Ahmedabad based on your needs and condition.

Prevention of Allergy

Prevention steps for allergies include the following:

Avoiding outdoor exposure during high pollen seasons
Using an air purifier to remove airborne allergens
Using dust-proof covers on pillows and mattresses
Avoiding heavy carpets and curtains that trap dust and other allergens
Being proactive and cautious while selecting food items
Opting for a healthy diet rich in vitamins and antioxidants to boost immunity
Ensuring a balanced gut microbiome by consuming probiotics
Wearing masks in heavily polluted or pollen-heavy areas

Frequently Asked Questions

Are asthma and allergies similar to each other?

Allergies and asthma are related but not the same. Allergy is hypersensitivity due to an overreaction of the body’s immune system to foreign objects. On the other hand, asthma is a chronic lung disease that makes breathing difficult and can be allergic or non-allergic.

Can allergies be cured?

There is no permanent cure for allergies as their severity and frequency vary from person to person. However, effective allergy management through avoidance, medication, and immunotherapy can significantly reduce symptoms and improve quality of life.

Are allergies and hay fever the same thing?

No, hay fever is a type of allergy, but not all allergies are hay fever. Despite its name, hay fever is not caused by hay. It is an allergic reaction triggered by airborne allergens like pollen, dust mites, and pet dander.
