A BRIEF GUIDE TO
ALLERGIES

What are Allergies?
Allergies or allergic diseases are caused when
your immune system becomes hypersensitive
to a certain element in the environment.
Your immune system may become
hypersensitive to a particular food, metal,
insect bite, flower or any medicine. The
development of such hypersensitivity can be
due to both genetic and environmental factors.

What are the Common Symptoms?
The common symptoms of an allergic disease
include red eyes, rashes, runny nose,
shortness of breath, to name a few.
However, some of the above mentioned
symptoms like runny nose may not be caused
by allergies, and an infection or an injury
might be the source. So it’s very important to
know whether you are facing it due to
allergies or not. Just go to the root cause of
that particular symptom, as the treatment for
an allergic disease is entirely different from
the one caused by an infection or an injury.

What does Allergy Trigger?
i) Asthma
Seasonal allergic reactions such as watery
eyes, runny nose, sore throat, shortness of
breath and itchiness are categorised as
rhinitis. People who don’t opt for diagnostic
services, generally end up mistaking Rhinitis
for a common cold, as a result of which
Rhinitis develops into a severe problem like
asthma.
Typical Signs
• Blocked-Up Nose
• Breathing Through Mouth
• Itchy Nose
• Itchy Throat/Mouth/Lips

Digestion Problems
Food allergies can lead to chronic digestive
problems like frequent stomach pain, diarrhoea and
vomiting. Food allergies have grown in proportion
over the last 20 years and are affecting both adults
and children. The number of food products
associated with such allergies are increasing
exponentially.

Oral Allergy Syndrome
Oral Allergy Syndrome is mostly associated with an
allergy caused by pollen. It is a temporary condition,
which is mild in nature and is characterised by swelling
or redness near the mouth area. In some cases, eyes
also get affected.

Tests to go for
Blood Test
Finding out about one’ allergies is quite simple. One just
has to choose the best diagnostic services and go for a
blood test. A blood test can verify many allergens like
weeds, trees, pollen, food, animal dander, to name a
few. A person belonging to any age group can take this
test. Even a person who is suffering from a skin
condition, or is on medication can also go through it.
