Diagnosis and treatment of allergic reactions
Allergies can cause a lot of discomfort and, in severe cases, even be life-threatening. Modern diagnostic and therapeutic methods make it possible to identify allergens and bring allergy symptoms under control. In some cases, allergies can be cured permanently.
The most common allergens are plant pollen, household dust, house dust mites, food, medicines, insect venom, and mold fungi. When in contact with an allergen, the immune system tends to neutralize a substance that it considers dangerous.
Allergic reactions can manifest themselves in different ways: from itching and redness of the skin to severe conditions that affect different organs and body systems, up to anaphylactic shock. Allergies can develop over the years, becoming more pronounced with each new contact with an allergen.
Benefits
Accurate diagnosis
A comprehensive diagnosis allows you to identify the allergen and eliminate its effects.
Symptom control
Modern drugs quickly eliminate itching, swelling and other symptoms.
Decreased sensitivity to allergens
ASIT helps to significantly reduce the symptoms or completely get rid of allergies.
Improving the quality of life
Treatment allows the patient to return to his usual life without restrictions..
Diagnosis
During the diagnosis, the doctor asks about the moments when symptoms appear, their connection with certain factors (for example, seasonality, contact with animals or the use of certain foods). Skin tests or a blood test for specific IgE help identify the specific allergens causing the reaction. Diagnostic tests confirm the presence of allergies. In some cases, additional examinations are prescribed by a doctor, for example, spirometry to assess lung function.
Treatment
First of all, avoid contact with the allergen, if possible. To relieve the symptoms, drugs are used that block the action of allergy mediators, reduce itching, swelling, nasal congestion and other manifestations. The modern treatment method is allergen-specific immunotherapy (ASIT). It helps to reduce sensitivity to the allergen by gradually introducing microdoses of the culpable allergen. This method is effective for seasonal allergies, pollen allergies, and house dust mites. This treatment method is prescribed only by an allergist and is carried out only under the supervision of a doctor.
Recovery
After completing the course of treatment, it is important for the patient to continue to avoid contact with allergens and follow the doctor's recommendations. In case of seasonal allergies, medications taken before the start of the flowering season and ASIT, which can completely cure some types of allergies, become an effective preventive measure.
