Signs of an uncontrolled allergy

This is an automatically translated article.

An allergy is a condition in which the body reacts to a foreign substance such as bee venom, pollen or food due to an overactive immune system. Manifestations of allergies are often very diverse and sometimes difficult to recognize. The following article will explore this issue together.

1. Dark circles appear


Dark circles can be a sign of allergies caused by the habit of rubbing your eyes when you feel itchy. You can visit your doctor and be advised to use an antihistamine to prevent symptoms such as itching, watery eyes, sneezing and runny nose. In case if you have used them but they are not really effective, it is necessary to talk to your doctor for the appropriate treatment.

2. Stuffed nose for a long time


If the stuffy nose is caused by a cold or flu, it should go away after a week or two. But if this happens continuously, it is most likely a manifestation of an allergy. For an allergic reaction, the lining of the nasal passages swells and increases mucus secretion, which in turn leads to increased pressure on the sinuses and causes headaches. Nasal steroids can be used to reduce inflammation of the lining of the nasal passages caused by allergies. For a long-term treatment plan, you need to see an allergist for a more thorough examination.

3. Wheezing


Wheezing is often associated with asthma . However, it may also be related to seasonal allergies or a severe allergic reaction. The cause of the hissing sound occurs due to the narrowing of the airway and in some cases excessive narrowing requires prompt medical attention.

4. Itchy skin


You will notice that your skin is dry with itching and can turn into eczema. This is a common skin reaction in people with allergies. Some triggers include soaps or detergents, chemicals in fabric softeners, pet hair, and rough fabrics. Your doctor may treat it with an antihistamine, moisturizer, and hydrocortisone cream.

5. Urticaria

The hives are light red, itchy, and can last from a few hours to a few days. This is a sign of a typical allergy to food, medicine, or insect stings. Antihistamines usually provide immediate pain relief. In the absence of obvious effects, additional steroids can be used.

6. Insomnia


Allergy symptoms such as itchy skin and eyes, stuffy nose, postnasal drip, sinus pain, and other allergy symptoms can make it difficult for you to fall asleep or stay asleep. Some allergy medications can disrupt a good night's sleep. If this condition persists and affects your daily activities, consult your doctor for appropriate treatment.

When symptoms of allergy occur such as watery eyes, runny nose, stuffy nose can cause sleep disturbance. Also, some over-the-counter antihistamines can make your vision blurry. If allergies are interfering with your daily life and work, contact your doctor for appropriate treatment.
