What Is an Allergy?
An allergy is an abnormal reaction of the immune system to a normally harmless substance, such as pollen, dust, or animal dander. Allergies can cause a wide range of symptoms, including sneezing, watery eyes, a scratchy throat, and an itchy rash. In severe cases, allergies can lead to anaphylaxis, a life-threatening reaction that can cause difficulty breathing, rapid heartbeat, and even shock.
What Causes Allergies?
Allergies are caused by an overreaction of the immune system to a harmless substance. This overreaction can be triggered by exposure to an allergen, such as pollen or pet dander. Allergens can enter the body through the air, food, or contact with skin. The body recognizes the allergen as a foreign invader and produces antibodies to fight it off. This process leads to an allergic reaction, which can range from mild to severe.
Why Is My Allergy Not Going Away?
Allergies can be difficult to manage because the body's immune system is constantly responding to the allergen. Even if you are able to avoid the allergen for a period of time, the body's reaction can persist and the allergy can linger. In some cases, the allergy can even become worse.
The best way to manage allergies is to identify and avoid the allergen that is causing the reaction. This can be done by avoiding activities or environments that expose you to the allergen. If avoidance is not possible, there are medications and immunotherapy treatments available that can help reduce the severity of the symptoms.
It is important to talk to your doctor if your allergy is not going away as expected. Your doctor can help identify the allergen and recommend the best treatment plan for you.
