An allergic response to microscopic airborne particles is known as allergic rhinitis (hay fever). Histamine, a chemical, is released by your body in response to inhaling allergens through your mouth or nose.
Allergic rhinitis can be caused at any time of the year. In the spring, summer, and early fall, when weeds and trees blossom and pollen concentrations are at their highest, seasonal allergies manifest.
When your body's immune system identifies an allergen in the air, allergic rhinitis develops. You may readily breathe in the irritants (allergens) through your mouth or nose since they are so little.
Hay fever is brought on by several indoor and outdoor allergens. Dust mites, mold, pet dandruff, and plant and tree pollen are typical culprits.
Hay fever signs and symptoms include:
Your doctor will examine you, enquire about your symptoms, and check you for any other ailments like a cold or asthma. Your physician will take a blood sample and send it to a lab for testing in order to analyze your antibodies to particular allergens. The immunoglobulin E (IgE) test is the name of this blood examination. Allergies of every kind, including food allergies, are detectable. To identify the allergens causing your symptoms, your doctor may advise a skin prick test.
Numerous allergy treatments can lessen symptoms and make hay fever easier to manage. These medications can be taken as liquids, tablets, eye drops, nasal sprays, or injections, among other delivery methods. Before taking any drug, especially if you're pregnant or have other health issues, see your doctor.
