Our immune system helps us to combat infection by identifying 'foreign invaders' and mobilizing our white blood cells to defend. In the case of allergic disorders, the immune system wrongly identifies a non-toxic substance and the overreaction from the white blood cells then creates more damage to the body.
Allergies exist in different forms ranging from food, skin, dust, insect sting, drug and pet allergy.
Symptoms of an allergic reaction usually develop within few minutes of exposure, although occasionally they can also develop gradually over few hours.
Some of the symptoms include:
- Sneezing, itchy, runny or blocked nose
- Itchy, red, watering eyes
- Wheezing, chest tightness, shortness of breath
- Swollen lips, tongue, eyes or face
- Raised, itchy, red rashes on skin
