The document discusses allergies and their causes, symptoms, and various treatment options. Allergies are an overreaction of the immune system to typically harmless substances like pollens, dusts, and molds. Symptoms include histamine release and inflammation. Treatment and management includes avoidance of allergens when possible, over-the-counter and prescription medications, immunotherapy, herbal remedies, and in some cases surgery to correct structural issues or remove growths. The goal is to strengthen the body's tolerance of allergens over time through controlled exposure.
