allergiától

allergiától is a Hungarian term referring to an allergy. An allergy is a hypersensitive immune system response to a normally harmless substance called an allergen. When an allergic individual encounters an allergen, their immune system mistakenly identifies it as a threat and releases chemicals, such as histamine, that cause allergic symptoms.

Common allergens include pollen, dust mites, mold, certain foods (like peanuts, dairy, and shellfish), insect stings, and medications. The symptoms of an allergy can vary widely and may affect different parts of the body. These can include skin reactions like hives, eczema, or itching; respiratory issues such as sneezing, runny nose, nasal congestion, coughing, and wheezing; gastrointestinal problems like nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea; and in severe cases, anaphylaxis, a life-threatening systemic reaction.

Diagnosis of an allergy typically involves a medical history, physical examination, and allergy testing, which may include skin prick tests or blood tests. Management strategies for allergies focus on avoiding the known allergen, using medications to control symptoms (like antihistamines or corticosteroids), and in some instances, immunotherapy (allergy shots) to desensitize the immune system to the allergen over time. Allergic reactions can range from mild discomfort to severe, life-threatening conditions, making proper diagnosis and management crucial.
