Allergisymptomer

Allergisymptomer, also known as allergic symptoms, are reactions of the immune system to typically harmless substances, known as allergens. These symptoms can range from mild to severe and can affect various parts of the body. Common allergens include pollen, dust mites, pet dander, and certain foods. The immune system, in response to these allergens, produces antibodies that mistakenly attack the body's own tissues.

The most common allergic symptoms include:

- Sneezing

- Itchy or watery eyes

- Runny or stuffy nose

- Itchy mouth, throat, or nose

- Coughing

- Wheezing

- Hives or rash

- Swelling of the lips, tongue, or throat

- Abdominal pain, cramps, or diarrhea

- Itchy, red, or swollen skin

Allergic symptoms can be categorized into two main types: immediate and delayed. Immediate symptoms, such as sneezing and itchy eyes, occur within minutes of exposure to an allergen. Delayed symptoms, like hives and itchy skin, appear hours after exposure.

Allergies can be managed through various methods, including avoiding allergens, using medications like antihistamines, and in some cases, allergy shots or immunotherapy. It's important to consult with a healthcare professional for proper diagnosis and treatment.
