SMART STEPS TO PREVENT ALLERGY

A FEW STEPS TO TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR ALLERGY

Find out what the cause of allergy might be

In some cases, it may be easy to determine what causes your allergic reaction by the timing of your symptoms.

In other cases, the cause may be harder to discover. If this is the case, your doctor may carry out skin prick tests or blood tests to identify the allergen that triggered your allergic reaction.

Avoid or minimize exposure to the allergen

Once the allergen is identified, there are things you may do to minimize exposure to it. This may be achieved by removing plants from your garden, avoiding contact with pets or changing how you clean your house.

Allergy treatment

This may be through medication or immunotherapy. Allergy medication can include:

Antihistamines
Decongestants
Corticosteroids
Specific mast cell stabilizers

If these treatments are not successful, immunotherapy may be recommended by your doctor.

HOW TO PREVENT ALLERGIC RHINITIS

THE FIRST STEP IN MANAGING ALLERGIC RHINITIS
IS TO AVOID ALLERGENS THAT TRIGGER THE SYMPTOMS.

Some of the most common allergens in Middle East countries are shown below:

Dust

Dust Mites

Grass

Pollen

Pet dander

ANTIHISTAMINES ARE COMMONLY USED TO TREAT ALLERGIC RHINITIS.

Antihistamines counter the effects of histamine, the irritating chemical released when we have an allergic reaction. Histamine is primarily responsible for causing allergy symptoms.

ANTIHISTAMINES HELP TO RELIEVE NASAL ALLERGY SYMPTOMS SUCH AS:

Telfast is a long-acting antihistamine that relieves symptoms within 30 minutes and does not cause drowsiness.

*80% of the subjects reported symptom relief for all four categories (sneezing, rhinorrhea, itchy eyes, itchy nose, palate, and throat) within 30 minutes.

Older antihistamines may cause drowsiness or performance impairment, which can lead to accidents and personal injury. Fexofenadine is approved by USA Federal aviation administration for use in pilots.
Other options for the treatment of allergic rhinitis depends on the symptoms and may include intranasal corticosteroids, decongestants, intranasal cromolyn, intranasal anticholinergics, and leukotriene receptor antagonists.

HOW TO PREVENT URTICARIA

HOW TO PREVENT URTICARIA :

If the cause of hives can be identified, the first thing you should focus on is avoiding known triggers. Common causes of urticaria include:

BLOOD TRANSFUSIONS

BACTERIAL INFECTIONS

LATEX

PHYSICAL STIMULI

E.G. COLD, HEAT, EXERCISE OR SUN EXPOSURE

CERTAIN FOODS E.G. NUTS, EGGS AND SHELLFISH

الأدوية كالمضادات الحيوية، الأسبيرين والإيبوبروفين

POLLEN

PET HAIR

ANTIHISTAMINES ARE A FREQUENTLY RECOMMENDED TREATMENT FOR HIVES (URTICARIA).

They work by blocking the effect of histamine, a chemical in the skin that can cause allergy symptoms.

Telfast is an effective, long-lasting, non-sedating antihistamine.

Older antihistamines may cause drowsiness or performance impairment, which can lead to accidents and personal injury.
Because of its ability to effectively relieve symptoms without causing drowsiness , the US federal aviation administration recommends the use of fexodenadine .

In addition to antihistamines, your allergist may recommend cold compresses or anti-itch salves to ease the symptoms.
Severe episodes of urticaria may require temporary treatment with a corticosteroid medication or an immune modulator. If your reaction involves swelling of your tongue or lips, or you have trouble breathing, your allergist may prescribe an epinephrine (adrenaline).
