Identifying Serious Allergies

An allergy is an overreaction of the body’s immune system to something that is typically harmless. Allergies are common and can cause a range of symptoms, from mild and annoying to severe and life-threatening. It is important to be aware of the signs and symptoms that may indicate an allergy is serious.

Symptoms

Common symptoms of allergies can include sneezing, nasal congestion, an itchy or runny nose, watery and itchy eyes, and coughing. Other symptoms include hives, rash, and itching or tingling of the mouth and throat. If you experience any of these symptoms, pay attention to how severe they are and how long they last.

Severity

If your symptoms are severe and persistent, you should consider that your allergy may be serious. Severe symptoms may include difficulty breathing, wheezing, tightness in the chest, swelling of the lips, tongue, or throat, dizziness, confusion, or fainting. These can be signs of a life-threatening allergic reaction known as anaphylaxis.

Duration

If symptoms last for more than an hour or two, or if they worsen over time, then your allergies may be serious. Allergic reactions can become more severe over time, so it is important to pay attention to any changes in your symptoms.

Triggers

If you know what triggers your allergies, you can take steps to avoid them. Common triggers of allergies include pollen, dust mites, mold, animal dander, and certain foods. Identifying your triggers can help you take the necessary precautions to avoid them.

Treatment

If you think your allergies are serious, it is important to seek medical advice. Your doctor can help you identify your triggers and recommend the best treatment options. Treatment may include medications such as antihistamines and corticosteroids, as well as immunotherapy.

If your allergies are causing severe symptoms such as difficulty breathing or tightness in your chest, it is important to seek medical attention immediately. Other signs of a serious allergy can include hives, swelling of the face and throat, and a drop in blood pressure. If you find you are needing to take antihistamines more often than usual, or if your allergies are affecting your day-to-day life, it may be time to talk to your doctor. It is also important to look out for any signs of anaphylaxis, which can include dizziness, fainting, and confusion. If you believe you may be having an allergic reaction, you should seek emergency medical help.
