When your body reacts to certain foods or things in the environment, it is an allergy. The things that cause such reactions are allergens, which produce chemicals called histamines in the body. Allergies can be due to pollen grains, cold, window moldings, damp basements, animals and pets, dust, mites, polluted air, certain foods (nuts), etc.
The allergic reactions become worse during humid and rainy seasons. It causes sneezing, running nose, skin rashes, urticarial rashes and can also trigger asthma.
Allergies can be controlled by antihistamines, decongestants, allergic shots and by avoiding the allergens. Visit I and My Doctors Clinic today to treat allergies. A family physician of the clinic will treat you promptly.
