Product Information

The best way to keep your symptoms under control is often to avoid the things you’re allergic to, although this isn’t always practical. Immunotherapy helps create a tolerance to allergens and can improve many of the symptoms related to inhalant allergy exposure. Concentrate your efforts on controlling dust mites in the areas of your home where you spend most time, such as the bedroom and living room. Antihistamines can be taken as tablets, capsules, creams, liquids, eye drops or nasal sprays, depending on which part of your body is affected by your allergy. Regularly vacuuming rugs, carpets and other surfaces helps remove dust, animal dander, pollen and other allergens.

These problems can often be treated with medication, although surgery is sometimes needed in severe or long-term cases. Allergic reaction symptoms include congestion, watery eyes, a runny nose, vomiting and, in severe cases, anaphylaxis. One of the biggest causes of allergies are dust mites, which are tiny insects found in household dust. Antibiotics — medicines used to treat infections — are the most common type of medicines that cause allergic reactions. Cilia, the tiny hairs that trap and sweep allergens out of the way, become bogged down with mucus and fluid and allergy symptoms appear.

There are several ways you can support AAFA in its mission to provide education and support to patients and families living with asthma and allergies.

This knowledge empowers children to understand their own allergies or those of their friends and classmates. The injection can only be performed in a specialist clinic under the supervision of a doctor, as there is a small risk of a severe reaction. However, being around dogs from an early age can help protect against allergies, and there’s some evidence to suggest that this might also be the case with cats.

If you can't find a new home for your dog, cat or other furry pet, at least keep animals out of the bedroom. Pollen allergies – more commonly known as hay fever – are caused when trees and grasses release pollen into the air. By carefully checking the label for the list of ingredients, you should be able to avoid an allergic reaction. Reading and Literacy Skills: Illustrated books are a fantastic tool for developing reading and literacy skills in children.Plus, a food that triggered mild symptoms on one occasion may cause severe symptoms such as anaphylaxis another time.
