Treatment of spring allergies: overcome the disease

While most people enjoy the springtime animation of nature - flowering trees, green grass, budding buds - some suffer from allergies. Sneezing, coughing, red eyes are all symptoms of this disease. And just like in other cases, the right treatment should be prescribed to overcome the disease. Spring allergy, according to statistics, affects 20-40% of the total population, with each year the number of patients increases.

There are three types of allergies: food, respiratory and contact. Allergens most often are animal hair, mold, pollen of flowering plants and much more. The first signs of this spring ailment begin to appear in mid-April, when maple, birch, alder, hazel, etc. begin to bloom. Allergens can be about one hundred plants. And more dangerous are those with pollen smaller.

Many consider allergy not a very serious disease, and therefore do not give it proper value. However, it should be emphasized that, neglecting the treatment of allergies, you can get myocarditis, gastritis, bronchial asthma, abrupt changes in body temperature, not to mention the weakened immunity.

Diagnosis of the disease is quite simple. The specialist compares the manifestations with the time of flowering of plants, and also conducts tests to identify allergens.

During seasonal pollination of plants, many change their place of residence. But this solution is not always possible, so we have to look for other options. Effective treatment of spring allergy - preventive immunotherapy. It relieves the symptoms and signs of the disease in 60-75% of cases. The essence of the method is that allergens are introduced into the body of allergens. Their dose gradually increases, and the person eventually becomes immune to them. This method of treating allergies requires a continuous visit to the allergist for 1-1.5 months.

Another method to combat allergies is a set of measures that will protect you during the flowering period. For example, the use of home air purifiers, eye protection from sunglasses from pollen, etc.
