Allergies
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
From the specialist: when allergic reactions become frequent or bothersome, the allergist is the one who studies their origin, with support from the immunologist and, depending on the symptom, the dermatologist or otolaryngologist.
Allergies are exaggerated reactions of the immune system to substances that are normally harmless, called allergens, such as pollen, dust, certain foods, or medications.
Frequent symptoms:
- Sneezing, congestion, or itching in the nose and eyes
- Rashes, hives, or itching on the skin
- In some cases, respiratory complaints
When to seek care? If the symptoms recur, affect your routine, or intense reactions appear, an assessment is worthwhile to identify the triggers. Knowing what causes your reactions is the first step, and a professional can guide you in that process.
