Alergjitë

Alergjitë, also known as allergies, are immune system responses to typically harmless substances, known as allergens. These responses can cause a variety of symptoms, ranging from mild to severe. Common allergens include pollen, dust mites, pet dander, mold spores, and certain foods. Allergies can affect different parts of the body, with the most common being the skin, eyes, nose, and lungs.

Skin allergies, or dermatitis, can manifest as redness, itching, and swelling. Eye allergies, or conjunctivitis, can cause redness, itching, and swelling of the eyes, as well as excessive tearing. Nasal allergies, or rhinitis, can lead to sneezing, runny nose, and nasal congestion. Lung allergies, or asthma, can cause shortness of breath, wheezing, and chest tightness.

Allergies can be triggered by various factors, including environmental conditions, physical activity, and stress. They can also be inherited or develop as a result of exposure to allergens over time. Treatment options for allergies include avoidance of allergens, antihistamines, decongestants, and immunotherapy. In severe cases, allergy shots or epinephrine injections may be necessary.

Allergies are a common condition, affecting millions of people worldwide. While they can cause significant discomfort, they are generally manageable with proper treatment and lifestyle modifications. It is important for individuals with allergies to be aware of their triggers and to seek medical advice when necessary.
