Symptoms of Allergies
Allergies are caused by an overreaction of the immune system to a foreign substance, like pollen, pet dander, dust, or certain foods. Symptoms can range from mild to severe, and can include sneezing, coughing, runny nose, itchy eyes, skin irritation, hives, swelling, and difficulty breathing.
How Long Does It Take for Symptoms to Clear Up?
The length of time it takes for allergy symptoms to clear up depends on the severity of the reaction, the type of allergen, and the individual's response to treatment. For mild reactions, symptoms may subside in a few hours or days. Severe reactions may require medical attention and can take days or weeks to fully resolve. It's important to avoid exposure to the allergen and to follow the treatment plan recommended by your doctor to help reduce symptoms and speed up recovery.
