Allergy how to get rid of. How to treat skin allergies in adults and children - an integrated approach

Many people do not know how to identify an allergen and how to get rid of allergies, they are most sensitive to such little things as dust, animal hair, pollen, food.

They show various signs in the form of skin rashes, rhinitis, lacrimation. In order not to expose yourself and your loved ones to the risk of the onset and progression of the disease, you need to know the simplest methods of dealing with this disease.

You should study the symptoms, diagnostic methods, the basics of diet therapy and a list of the most effective drugs. Only in this case it is possible to protect yourself from wrong actions that can cause irreparable complications to human health.

What is an allergic reaction?

The immune system protects the body from all kinds of components flying in the air, settling on objects or in food.

It is considered to be a good barrier to the entry of infectious agents into the body. Unpleasant symptoms are caused by fungal components, viruses and bacteria.

With repeated exposure to any allergen, a typical immunopathological process appears.

Immunity becomes vulnerable. Hypersensitivity is formed, provoking the occurrence of allergic reactions.

The antibodies that the body produces, protecting itself from allergies, are called immunoglobulins E. If, when diagnosing the system, a number of tests revealed the content of allergens in the body, then an experienced specialist is obliged to diagnose the allergy.

Getting rid of it is difficult enough. The lifetime of such antibodies in the blood serum is three days. Antibodies can remain on membrane cells and basophils for up to two weeks.

Therefore, allergy symptoms can bother a person both for a short period and for a long time. It all depends on the type of allergic reaction and methods of getting rid of it.

Allergy types

• Hypersensitivity of the anaphylactic subtype... It is formed in a matter of minutes after exposure to the allergen on the human body. Allergens cause the formation of IgE plasma cells. Eosinophils begin to secrete enzymes that damage the epithelium. As a result, bronchial asthma, anaphylactic shock, or atopic effects may develop. You can get rid of the disease just as quickly. At the same time, the latest technologies are used.
• Cytotoxic subtype hypersensitivity... It is formed much more slowly than anaphylactic. It appears 5-7 hours after the allergen enters the body. Anti-receptor reactions have a particular effect. As a result, complement-dependent cytolysis is formed. This type of allergy develops when drugs, haptens and exogenous synthetic components are broken down in the body. You can get rid of the disease in one or two days.
• Immunocomplex reaction hypersensitivity... The first signs of allergy begin to appear 5-13 hours after the allergen enters the body. There is tissue damage, the release of lysosomal enzymes. As a result, various diseases begin to appear. Patients may present with allergic-type dermatitis, rhinitis, or conjunctivitis. You can get rid of the disease in two to three days.
• Cell-dependent hypersensitivity... This allergy manifests itself as a delayed type. The first symptoms begin to bother a person no earlier than 1-3 days after the allergen enters the body. At the same time, the cells of the body begin to suffer. Contact of the antigen with T-lymphocytes develops. In especially severe cases, in a negative process, human tissues and organs can be affected. But in most cases, allergy manifests itself in the form of damage to the skin. It is very difficult to get rid of this type of ailment. Treatment can usually take several weeks.

Allergen routes

Allergies can develop if irritating allergens are present in the body. They cause unpleasant symptoms and can enter the body in the following ways:

• Through the digestive tract when eating food;
• Through the pores of the skin. In this case, allergens come into contact with ointments, solvents, paint, and other chemicals;
• Through the mucous membranes. For example, eye splashes, cleaning agent vapors;
• Through the respiratory tract, by inhalation of vapors, vapors, cosmetic aromas.

Major allergens

• Pollen of flowers, medicinal plants and trees;
• Animal wool, natural bedding fillers;
• Street and household dust containing microscopic mites;
• Mold, fungal spores that form in large quantities in rooms with high humidity;
• Allergens seeping through the skin - hair dye, detergents, nickel, rubber;
• Food;
• Natural juices squeezed from fruits and vegetables;
• Medicines, antibiotics, anesthetics;
• Bites from blood-sucking insects;
• Saliva that gets into the bloodstream after being bitten by wild or domestic animals;
• Wasp, bee venom, bee products.

Allergy types

• Hives... It manifests itself in the form of small blisters and blisters on the body. It is considered one of the most serious diseases. Can last more than one and a half months. In order to get rid of the disease, you need to take antihistamines. It is prescribed to take ointments, creams, gels to relieve itching.
• Bronchial asthma... It is a chronic disease. It manifests itself as a narrowing of the lumen between the bronchi. Includes symptoms of choking and coughing. Patients suffer from wheezing, chest tightness and shortness of breath. Patients are prescribed two types of drugs. Symptomatic medications help to get rid of asthma, which relieve attacks and exacerbations in a matter of minutes. Also, patients use basic medicines. They are used for intermittent therapy.
• Conjunctivitis... It manifests itself as an eye disease. With this disease, the mucous membrane of the eyeball becomes inflamed. Purulent discharge, catarrhal discharge of tears may be observed. In patients, there is a burst of capillary vessels, redness of the eyes, and the formation of follicles in the upper eyelid. May be concerned about pain in the eyes, swelling and swelling. In order to get rid of the disease, special anti-inflammatory drops are prescribed.
• Dermatitis... It manifests itself in the form of severe skin inflammation. It is caused by a strong allergy to external or internal factors. Patients are worried about severe itching, swelling of the limbs, coarsening of the skin. Rashes, blistering and blistering, and a feeling of increased temperature in the affected area of \u200b\u200bthe skin may occur. In order to get rid of unpleasant symptoms, local treatment of the skin with antibacterial and anti-inflammatory medicines is carried out. They put on carts and take adsorbents.
• Rhinitis... It manifests itself as a severe rhinitis in the upper respiratory tract. The patient is worried about nasal congestion, watery runny nose, itching, feeling of movement in the nose, redness of the eyeball. In this case, the body temperature can rise to 37 ° C. Such patients are prescribed vasoconstrictor drugs based on naphazoline, oxylometazoline or xylometazoline. Pills, inhalations, special drops and rinsing help to get rid of rhinitis.

Diagnostic methods

Allergies can be cured only if the correct diagnosis of the disease subtype has been made. For this, it is necessary to undergo an examination of the body. Diagnostic methods that help get rid of the disease include the following studies:

• Prik testing... The method involves lightly scratching the skin or inserting a needle into the skin. This method is considered the most common, inexpensive and fastest. It is used to detect allergies in both children and adults. The skin is treated with ethanol. Incisions are made to which drops of allergens are applied. In another case, drops are applied to the skin, and through them the skin is pierced with a small needle. Test results can be ready 15-30 minutes after the procedure. Prik testing helps to get rid of the disease in a matter of time.
• Clinical blood test for the amount of IgE antibodies... The patient donates blood on an empty stomach. Then in a special laboratory, professional specialists conduct research. This method is the least popular as it is considered expensive. The results of the study can only be ready in a few days. Clinical analysis helps to get rid of the disease after at least three to four days.
• Spirometry method... Used to identify respiratory allergies. Using a special spirometry device, specialists measure the volume of air in the lungs. The procedure is carried out several times - in the morning, lunchtime and evening. The overall result of the study helps to establish the severity of the stage of bronchial asthma. This technique only helps to get rid of respiratory diseases.
• Elimination techniques... They are based on elimination. The food, potentially to which a person can develop an allergy, is completely excluded from the diet. If after 7-15 days a person completely gets rid of negative symptoms, then doctors conclude that this product was the true cause of allergies.

Sometimes many patients do not even suspect that they are present. Unpleasant symptoms may be mild in a child or adult.

In the event that you abandon your beloved family member above your own strength, then you need to contact a specialist for qualified help.

It will help get rid of unpleasant symptoms. In 90% of cases, the doctor will prescribe antihistamines. Today there is a huge selection of products in the form of nasal sprays and eye drops that help relieve a person of unpleasant symptoms in a matter of minutes.

In the case of the development of bronchial asthma, it is necessary to use medications that eliminate respiratory diseases. In order to instantly get rid of allergy attacks, you must follow simple rules:

In case of severe allergies to dogs, the pet owner should immediately contact a qualified specialist. Only a doctor can study the intensity of the manifestation of unpleasant symptoms and help get rid of the disease.

Treatment should be tailored individually for each patient.

In order to ease the symptoms or, possibly, completely recover from the disease, you must follow some simple recommendations:

• Forbid the pet from entering the master's bedroom;
• Wash hands as often as possible after contact with a pet;
• Bathe your dog at least once a week using a special hypoallergenic shampoo;
• Refuse bed linen with natural fillers. It is recommended to purchase blankets with bamboo or polyester filling;
• An air conditioner or air freshener must be used regularly;
• It is necessary to remove from the house all soft toys, carpets and old upholstered furniture that absorb a large number of allergens;
• Wet and cosmetic cleaning should be carried out regularly;
• Doctors recommend getting rid of the smoking habit. Tobacco abuse reduces the body's resistance to allergens and increases the likelihood of developing asthma and lung cancer.

Seasonal allergies

Such an ailment manifests itself as an irritant to the surrounding world. It appears only in a certain season of the year. In most cases, patients are worried about allergies in spring and summer.

Getting rid of this type of allergy is difficult.

The reasons for the formation of the disease can be:

• Chronic lung disease;
• Weakened immunity;
• Genetic factor;
• Unfavorable ecological state of nature;
• Allergy to other irritants, such as food, medicine, chemistry.

In order to get rid of seasonal allergies, you must follow these rules:

• Avoid contact with the allergen;
• Prescribe antihistamines;
• Conduct specific immunotherapy.

Food allergy

This type of allergy develops due to an increased sensitivity to any food or drink caused by a reaction of the immune system.

Citrus fruits, natural honey, nuts, dairy products, crustaceans, eggs and strawberries are especially allergenic. Getting rid of this type of allergy is difficult.

Food allergies can be caused by:

• Incorrect diet;
• The presence of inflammatory processes in the gastrointestinal tract;
• Decreased levels of pancreatic enzymes;
• Too high acidity of gastric juice.

You can recover from this ailment using the following methods:

• By removing allergens from the body;
• Taking antihistamines to reduce inflammation
• The use of healing gels, hormonal creams;
• Taking hormonal medications;
• You can also get rid of allergies by eliminating contact with allergens.

Folk recipes

You can get rid of the disease with folk remedies. The most effective are the following recipes. Mummy helps a lot. It is diluted in water, rubbing the affected areas of the skin. It is taken internally with a minimum concentration. The average course of treatment can last up to three weeks.

The patient can be cured with eggshell powder. It is diluted with lemon juice and taken in a quarter of a teaspoon after meals.

Natural juices help to get rid of the disease. They are squeezed out of fresh vegetables - beets, carrots, cucumbers. Dilute with distilled water, take a quarter of a glass 30 minutes before meals.

Alternative medicine

Homeopathy... It consists in the introduction of small needles into the patient's body. At the same time, different vulnerable areas are selected. In this case, the needles can be smeared with diluted drugs that cause symptoms of an allergic reaction. To get rid of the disease, this type of therapy helps in 30% of cases.

Acupuncture... Includes acupuncture through specific points on the human body. Needles are inserted into the points, various manipulations are carried out. But if this technique is used incorrectly, damage to the nerve endings can occur. In this case, signal transmission may deteriorate, the development of paralysis of a certain part of the body, which is quite rare, but dangerous to human health. This technique helps to get rid of unpleasant symptoms in 25% of cases.

Starvation

This method of getting rid of allergies includes unloading and dietary therapy. You can get rid of symptoms only by completely refusing food for a certain period of time.

Diet therapy can be selected by both a specialist and the patient himself.

It is necessary to be based on the following facts:

• Clinical test results;
• Allergen test results;
• The presence or absence of contraindications;
• Human health status.

The patient must consume large amounts of vitamins and minerals. Allergenic foods, fatty, salty, smoked foods should be excluded from the diet.

But when using this technique, you need to be careful, since such treatment can suppress immunity. In this case, you can not only get rid of the symptoms, but also harm the body.

According to the Russian Association of Allergists and Clinical Immunologists, about 30% of people in the world suffer from allergic diseases, and in Russia, according to various estimates, their percentage ranges from 17.5% to 30%. This data does not include people who do not see a doctor for allergies, with varying degrees of success being content with self-medication. Allergy is rightfully called the disease of the century.

What is an allergy, why does it appear and what methods can be used to cure it - you will learn from this article.

Symptoms and causes of allergies

Allergy (translated from Greek allos - "other" and ergon - "action") is the body's reaction to any substance - an allergen. In other words, it is an increased sensitivity of the immune system. Allergies can be caused by animal dander, pollen, dust, food, insect bites, drugs, chemicals, etc. Allergy can occur in different ways, in some cases a person may not even know about the problem, but more often the allergy is expressed in the following symptoms:

• rash and redness of the skin, rashes, peeling;
• tearing, runny nose;
• sneezing;
• cough;
• itching in the nose and eyes;
• swelling (eg, tongue, lips);
• vomiting, diarrhea.

The danger of allergies is that it can lead to a serious condition - anaphylactic shock, and that in turn - to death, if the necessary actions are not taken in time. In the event of anaphylactic shock, the entire body reacts, and not just the place of contact with the allergen. It may be hard to breathe, there is swelling of the mucous membranes and larynx, weakness, pressure drops sharply, dizzy, fainting may occur, vomiting may begin. At the first such signs, it is important to immediately call an ambulance.

Features of allergy treatment

Fortunately, allergies can be treated. The approach to treatment will differ depending on the type of allergy.

Allergic rhinitis

Respiratory tract allergies are somewhat similar to colds. There may also be a stuffy nose, difficulty breathing, and a cough. However, the body temperature is normal. Respiratory allergy can lead to the development of bronchial asthma, which is accompanied by asthma attacks, difficulty breathing, and prolonged coughing. Another sign of a respiratory allergy is redness of the eyes (they itch, watery - this is the so-called allergic conjunctivitis).

Respiratory allergy is especially often manifested during the flowering period, and a similar reaction can also be to animal hair. Therefore, the first thing to do for treatment is to eliminate contact with the allergen. Further - you can use special eye drops, nasal sprays, antihistamines.

Dermatoses

This is a group of allergic diseases that are manifested by skin rashes. Skin irritations can be very different - crusts, scars, plaques, blisters, spots, etc. They can be accompanied by severe itching. For example, itchy dermatosis begins as a small, reddish rash on the skin, which is then covered with yellow crusts and itchy badly. A person's sleep may be disturbed, nervous excitement increases.

Also, allergic dermatosis can be contact (that is, an allergy develops only at the point of contact with an allergen - for example, with an insect bite or contact with a chemical) or toxic-allergic (when the whole body reacts with high temperature and worsening of the condition).

In the simplest cases, dermatosis can be cured by eliminating the allergen, following a diet, and taking antihistamines.

Food allergy

This is a reaction to food. Most often, it manifests itself for the first time already in childhood and can be caused by nutritional disorders in a woman during pregnancy and lactation. With an early transition to artificial feeding, with problems with the gastrointestinal tract, there is also a high risk of food allergies or intolerances.

The most common manifestations of food allergies are tingling in the mouth and numbness of the tongue or palate. But it can also manifest itself as vomiting, nausea, diarrhea, colic, constipation. Often with food allergies, skin rashes, hives, dermatitis, Quincke's edema occur. In very young children (babies), symptoms of food allergy are itching and dermatitis around the anus and frequent diaper rash (not associated with improper skin care).

Treatment for food allergies must be comprehensive. This is nutrition planning, the use of new generation antihistamines, allergen-specific immunotherapy (ASIT).

Drug allergy

This is an individual intolerance to a certain drug substance. It manifests itself in the form of side effects (they are indicated in the instructions), toxic reactions (in case of overdose), as well as symptoms, for example, characteristic of food allergies. The first action when an allergy occurs is to withdraw the drug. If the patient takes several, then all of them are canceled until the reason is clarified. When urticaria appears, antihistamines and glucocorticosteroid injections are also prescribed. If the allergic manifestations are quite severe, then the treatment is carried out in the intensive care unit. With the development of the infectious process, antibiotics are also prescribed.

Insect allergy

Allergy to stinging insects (bees, wasps, ants). However, it is important not to confuse a normal bite reaction with an allergic reaction. If the bite is accompanied by redness, slight swelling and pain, then this is a completely natural reaction of the body. If the bite is accompanied by shortness of breath, rash, wheezing, rapid pulse, dizziness, swelling of the face or throat, then you should see a doctor as soon as possible. These are acute anaphylactic reactions that require an ambulance. In a milder form, insect allergy can manifest itself in the form of itching, burning, and the appearance of spots.

How to act in case of a bite?
If you have been bitten by a bee, then you need to remove the sting within half a minute to avoid more poison from entering the skin. The bag of poison can be scraped out with a sharp object, but under no circumstances should it be squeezed out or pulled out. You can then rinse the bite site and apply a soothing ointment. If there is swelling, a cold compress can be applied.

For acute allergic reactions, an adrenaline injection is administered. Moreover, if you have already had an acute allergy to the bite, then you must always carry adrenaline injections with you and immediately consult a doctor in case of a bite.

Infectious allergy

Called, as the name suggests, infectious allergens. These include fungi, viruses, bacteria, and waste products of microorganisms. Infectious diseases, from which a person suffers for a long time, lead to allergies: tuberculosis, gonorrhea, syphilis, skin fungus and others.

Symptoms of this allergy are nonspecific: tearing, rash, runny nose, shortness of breath, problems with stool. The only effective way to treat this type of allergy is to eliminate the infection that causes it.

Allergy treatment in adults

For allergies in adults, the following are most often prescribed:

Antihistamines (in the form of tablets and injections). They eliminate allergy symptoms. These include "Cetrin", "Zyrtek", "Erius" and others.

Glucocorticosteroids (in the form of tablets, ointments, injections). These hormonal agents are used for very strong allergic reactions - they relieve spasms, attacks of suffocation, Quincke's edema, etc.

Immunotherapy eliminates not only the symptoms (in contrast to the above methods), but also the causes of allergies. It aims to reduce the sensitivity of the immune system to the allergen. For this, a small dose of an allergen is introduced into the body, which has previously undergone special treatment. There are injection and non-injection immunotherapy (in the form of drops, oral, inhalation, etc.). Immunotherapy is successfully combating household (dust, wool), pollen and food allergens.

Plasmapheresis - this is the purification of blood plasma, in the process of which allergens and harmful substances (slags and toxins) are removed from it. Prescribed for moderate and severe allergies.

Speleo camera is a physiotherapy procedure widely used to treat respiratory allergies. A person is placed in a space saturated with salt ions. Thus, inflammation is reduced, immunity is strengthened, and allergic reactions are reduced.

Pressure chamber rarely used for the treatment of bronchial asthma and respiratory allergies. The allergy sufferer is placed in a sealed chamber with increased air pressure and gas mixtures with oxygen.

ILBI - intravenous laser blood irradiation. During the procedure, a needle is inserted into a vein, to which an optical fiber is attached, and a pulse with specified characteristics is transmitted through it. Thus, various types of allergies are treated - including respiratory, food, skin diseases, etc.

DENAS - hardware procedure based on dynamic electroneurostimulation of the affected areas of the body (nose wings in case of allergic rhinitis, paraorbital zones and closed eyelid in case of allergic conjunctivitis, areas of skin rashes in case of urticaria).

Each of these options has its own characteristics and contraindications. So, for example, antihistamines should be taken with caution in pregnant women - it is imperative to consult with your doctor. Expectant mothers can also be advised to switch to a hypoallergenic diet, exclude contact with allergens and carry out allergy prevention.

Allergy in itself is not a contraindication to pregnancy and childbirth. However, keep in mind that allergic reactions can be more severe during pregnancy - you need to be prepared for this.

Features of the treatment of allergies in children

Allergy in children is almost the same as in adults, but has its own characteristics. In addition to general symptoms, there is a disruption of the gastrointestinal tract, frequent colds and flu. Experts believe that children's allergies can be completely cured and completely get rid of the disease.

Food and respiratory allergies are most common among children. They are also treated with a specific diet and antihistamines prescribed by a doctor. In the case of food allergies, the so-called elimination nutrition is used, when new products are introduced into the diet gradually in small quantities and over a period of time - while observing the body's reaction.

Allergy treatment: oriental medicine and folk remedies

Tibetan and Chinese medicine, using therapeutic fees and exposure to bioactive points in the body, can offer their own procedures to combat allergies.

Point, or energy, massage , in the process of which vital points on the human body are deeply worked out. "Blocks", stagnation are removed, harmful substances are removed.

Acupuncture - the introduction of needles at certain points, starts the processes of self-regulation of the body, removes blocks in the body and restores vital energy.

Phytotherapy - This is the use of multicomponent preparations made exclusively on a natural basis. The main active ingredients eliminate the cause of the allergy, and the secondary ones have a general strengthening effect.

Hirudotherapy - treatment with leeches. Officially recognized by the Ministry of Health of Russia in 1995, when prescribed and performed by qualified doctors, it is absolutely harmless. Leeches secrete useful substances that penetrate into the blood and cleanse blood vessels, congestion goes away, immunity is strengthened.

These and other methods work with the source of the problem itself. After all, if you eliminate only the symptom, then the disease can return - and sometimes even in a more serious form. Tibetan procedures, if carried out correctly, do not have side effects, since the doctors of oriental medicine always work with the body as a single system.

Trusting classical medicine or oriental medicine is a question that everyone decides for himself. However, in any case, you should not start an allergy - you must undergo timely treatment.

How to get rid of allergies forever, is it possible? Unfortunately, in most cases it is impossible to recover from allergies, the disease sticks to a person forever. However, even with a chronic illness it is possible to live a full life. In addition to medicines, there are also folk remedies for allergies, with which you can not only relieve symptoms of the disease at home, but also make your life much easier.

What is allergy

To know how to get rid of allergies, you need to have information about what kind of disease it is, how it occurs. Allergic reactions in the human body occur when the immune system makes a mistake in assessing a foreign substance such as grass and tree pollen, bee venom, microscopic dead skin cells of animals, or food. It produces special substances, or antibodies, that recognize this substance as harmful, when in fact it is not. When a person comes into contact with an allergen, the reaction of their immune system can cause redness and itching of the skin, fill up mucus in the sinuses, cause swelling of the airways, or negatively affect the digestive system.

Allergies can be mild (minor irritation upon contact with an allergen) and severe, up to Quincke's edema and anaphylactic shock - a life-threatening condition. Most often, people in whose family have already experienced cases of allergies are susceptible to its development. Children also often suffer from allergic reactions.

Allergy symptoms

Allergic symptoms depend on the specific irritant and can affect the airways, sinuses, skin, and digestive system.

Respiratory allergies (hay fever, allergic rhinitis) can cause sneezing, itchy nose, runny nose, conjunctivitis (increased tearing, inflammation of the outer lining of the eye). Allergens in this case are pollen, animal skin cells, and mold.

Food allergies are responsible for swelling of the lips, tongue, face, throat, itchy skin, hives, and anaphylactic shock. Most often it is caused by nuts (hazelnuts, peanuts), cereals (wheat, soy), seafood, eggs, dairy products.

An allergy to insect bites (for example, bees or wasps) causes edema at the site of the bite, itching all over the body, rash, cough, shortness of breath, anaphylactic shock.

Allergy to medicines can cause skin manifestations (urticaria, itching, rashes), barking cough, anaphylactic shock. Most often, an allergic reaction is caused by penicillin or drugs based on it.

Or eczema, can lead to itching, redness of the skin with the formation of blisters and crusts. It can be triggered by touching substances such as latex.

Having allergies increases your risk of other medical problems, including asthma attacks. Bronchial asthma is a reaction of the immune system that affects the airways; most often caused by the presence of an allergen in the environment. Also, with allergies, the risk of sinusitis and infections of the ears and lungs is increased; this risk is further increased in asthma.

Anaphylactic shock

Certain types of allergies, including food allergies and insect bites, can cause a severe reaction known as anaphylactic shock. It threatens human life. If a person has lost consciousness, his blood pressure has dropped, he is breathing heavily, his head is spinning, his pulse is fast and weak, he is sick or vomiting - all these are signs of anaphylactic shock.

When to see a doctor

What to do with allergies if over-the-counter medications don't work? In this case, you should consult a doctor. Only a qualified allergist can tell you how to cure an allergy. If symptoms occur after starting a new medication, you should immediately consult with the prescribing doctor.

How to treat allergies if it comes to anaphylactic shock? You should immediately call an ambulance or seek urgent medical attention. It is advisable to have an adrenaline injector with you and use it immediately. Even if the symptoms have disappeared after the injection, you should immediately seek medical help - you need to make sure that they do not return again after the adrenaline exposure has passed.

Diagnosis: allergy

To cure chronic allergies, a number of diagnostic procedures should be performed. After the examination, the doctor may recommend to undergo either a skin test for allergies (when the doctor makes a small injection or scratches the skin with a special medical instrument, and then applies a substance containing a potential allergen to it), or a blood test (which determines the amount of specific allergens in the blood) ). Only after the diagnosis has been established can one think about how to cure the allergy.

How to treat allergies and how to avoid them

What to do with allergies? First of all, you must avoid exposure to the allergen. For example, the prevention of seasonal pollen allergy is to stay at home as much as possible during the flowering period, with closed windows, doors and high-purity filters installed on the air conditioner. Elimination of the impact of allergens on the body in many cases allows you to get rid of allergies.

How to treat allergies with medicines

Drugs will not cure allergies, but in most cases they will ease the symptoms of the condition. Antiallergic medicines affect the immune system and reduce the secretion of substances responsible for the symptoms of the disease. The doctor may prescribe the patient antiallergic drugs in the form of tablets, nasal sprays, inhalers, eye drops or liquids or injections.

First of all, antihistamines are used for allergies. These are very effective medicines. First generation antihistamines - Tavegil, Suprastin, Diphenhydramine. They usually act very quickly, but have a number of side effects, such as neurological symptoms - fatigue, fatigue, and drowsiness. Their other advantage is their low price, therefore, if you do not know how to treat allergies and are looking for inexpensive pills for allergies, then it is preferable to use drugs of this class.

Drugs such as Fexofenadine, Loratadine, Cetirizine, Levocetirizine are new generation antiallergic drugs. Most of these are not cheap pills, however, they are more effective than the first generation. Most importantly, they are more suitable for the treatment of chronic allergic manifestations. However, the patient will not always be able to independently choose the pills. For this purpose, it is better to ask your doctor for advice, and he will answer how to treat allergies, how to get rid of its unpleasant symptoms, and what drugs are more suitable for this.

But it can happen that the treatment of chronic allergies with antihistamines does not bring the desired effect. How to treat allergies in such a case? As a rule, then they resort to the use of hormonal drugs belonging to the class of glucocorticosteroids. Among these drugs are hydrocortisone, betamethasone, prednisolone, dexomethasone. In most cases, these drugs are used externally - in the form of hormonal ointments and creams. There are also hormonal pills for allergies. However, in order to avoid the occurrence of severe side effects, hormonal antiallergic tablets should be taken in short courses and only as prescribed by a doctor.

Other methods

Also, the doctor may suggest immunotherapy. In this method of treating allergies, the patient's body is deliberately exposed to the allergen in small doses, usually over several years. An allergen is introduced into the body in the form of 1 tablet under the tongue or injections. In some cases, this can permanently cure the allergy. But not all allergies can be cured this way. In many cases of allergies, treatment can only be successful if the individual's reactions to this predispose.

Keeping a diary is helpful in controlling allergic symptoms. It is advisable to make notes every day, to note your condition after exposure to certain substances. This will help both to identify an existing allergy and to avoid the occurrence of an exacerbation of the allergy.

If the allergy is severe and threatens the occurrence of such severe reactions as anaphylactic shock, then you must constantly wear a medical bracelet and an automatic adrenaline injector.

Treatment of allergies with folk remedies at home

Folk remedies and home treatments can significantly relieve some of the symptoms of the disease. Many medicinal herbs can compete with cheap antiallergic drugs. However, folk remedies are unlikely to help cure allergies forever.

Allergic rhinitis

Seasonal allergic rhinitis is caused by exposure to pollen or other airborne allergens. How to treat an allergy manifested in the form of rhinitis? For this disease, Cetrin is quite effective, however, other methods can be used for treatment. In particular, nasopharyngeal rinsing is necessary - they help to reduce the amount of mucus that can cause respiratory disease. For this purpose, you can either buy a special liquid at the pharmacy or prepare the solution yourself by mixing half a teaspoon with a glass of boiled warm water (if a person feels a burning sensation during washing, the amount of salt should be reduced). To inject the solution into the nose, you can use either a disposable syringe with the needle removed, or a special small teapot ("neti") or an elastic bottle with a screw cap (the liquid is fed into the nose when the walls of the bottle are squeezed). The cleanliness of the devices should be carefully monitored to avoid aggravating the allergy with infection. Ideally, they can be boiled or washed in a dishwasher temperature in a disinfecting mode.

Water treatments can provide short-term relief from allergies by clearing the sinuses and airways. During the flowering period, hot water not only washes away allergens from the skin and hair, but also prevents them from spreading in the house. For this reason, it is recommended to shower immediately after coming home.

With allergic rhinitis, sneezing, itching in the nose, inhalation can alleviate the patient's condition. It is very simple to carry out it at home - you just need to pour boiling water into a deep bowl or saucepan, throw a towel over your head and, bending over a container of water, inhale the steam deeply for 5-10 minutes. Be careful not to burn your face by bending too low. If inhalation brings significant relief, you might consider purchasing a steam inhaler. Salt, essential oils (in the absence of allergies to them) or herbal infusions, which have a disinfecting and soothing effect (for example, chamomile), can be added to the solution. Of the essential oils, the use of eucalyptus oil is preferred - it has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effects.

Among medicinal herbs, butterbur has shown the best results in treating allergies - its extract can reduce inflammation of the respiratory tract. Butterbur tablets are an effective remedy for allergies according to clinical studies. They are comparable in effectiveness to established antihistamines such as cetirizine and fexofenadine. When using preparations based on butterbur, it is worth choosing those in which the content of pyrrolizidine alkaloids is minimized (they can negatively affect the liver).

For allergies, you can drink herbal preparations sold at the pharmacy. They have a complex effect on the body, soften the respiratory tract, thin phlegm, relieve spasms, and have a calming and anti-inflammatory effect.

Some people claim that they got rid of allergies, expressed in nasal congestion, with the help of spicy foods such as chili peppers, Dijon mustard, fresh garlic, horseradish, wasabi. This may be true, since one of the active substances contained in garlic - allyl thiosulfinate and isothiocyanate, which is similar in action, found in wasabi, contribute to the emergence of a temporary, but very effective decongestant effect. Simply put, they help thin mucus and remove it.

Recent studies have shown that green tea can help with allergies - the antioxidants it contains can inhibit allergic reactions. However, a cup of tea can only provide short-term relief.

Bee honey is also considered to be a good remedy for allergies. Some people believe that by eating a small dose of honey each day along with a tiny dose of allergens, you can gradually become "immune" to pollen allergy. True, scientists have not yet come to an agreement on whether this method can be considered effective.

Some people prefer to resort to alternative medicine in the treatment of allergies - acupuncture and homeopathic medicines. Proponents of these methods believe that with their help allergies can be cured forever. But it is worth remembering that the effectiveness of these drugs has not been confirmed by modern medicine.

Allergic conjunctivitis

Allergic conjunctivitis is an inflammation of the conjunctiva, the mucous membrane around the eyes. How can this disease be cured? It is well known that drugs such as loratadine and cetirizine are effective in allergic conjunctivitis. However, they are not the only ones who can relieve inflammation and eliminate itching. In particular, cold compresses are a proven remedy for allergies. They consist in applying a towel moistened with ice water or metal tablespoons lying in the freezer to closed eyes. You can also wrap ice cubes in a towel.

It also helps to wipe inflamed eyes with chamomile infusion or juice - they have an anti-inflammatory and disinfecting effect.

Eye drops, similar in composition to the tear fluid (or "artificial tears"), will help moisturize the dry cornea due to inflammation and slightly reduce itching.

Allergic dermatitis

How can you get rid of the symptoms of allergic dermatitis? A good remedy for allergies in this case is a cold shower. It causes the blood vessels to constrict so that fewer irritating substances are released through the skin. Cold shower treatment can also help relieve itching and reduce the severity of allergic skin reactions. If it is difficult for the patient to take a cold shower several times a day, you can apply a cold compress to the inflamed area - a towel dipped in ice water, or ice cubes.

Olive oil is a great moisturizer. It is rich in vitamin E and antioxidants. It can be used to wipe the affected skin after a cold shower.

Apple cider vinegar has antiseptic, antifungal, and antibacterial properties. Using it is simple: apply a few drops to a small, clean piece of cloth and apply to the inflamed area. Only vinegar should be organic, unfiltered; you can determine the degree of its purity, in addition to the label, by the sediment in the bottle.

Herbs for dermatitis

It is difficult to imagine symptomatic treatment for allergic dermatitis without chamomile. Its broth can be added to the bath, applied as a compress to the skin. You can also rinse your throat with a decoction for inflammation, rinse your nose, take it internally for pain in the stomach.

Like chamomile, a three-part series is used when taking baths, washing, compresses with its decoction are applied to the affected area. It has an anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial effect and is especially effective in exudative diathesis.

Oregano has many medicinal properties, from diuretics to sedatives. It also helps with atopic dermatitis in the form of lotions and has an anti-inflammatory and analgesic effect.

Lotions with celandine infusion or baths with it help in the treatment of diseases accompanied by itching (dermatitis and eczema), due to a strong local anti-inflammatory effect.

An infusion of deaf nettle (aka white duckweed), duckweed and yarrow are used for urticaria - all these herbs have a strong anti-inflammatory effect.

Aloe vera (fresh juice, cream or gel) is among the reliable remedies for dermatitis. The plant has a healing and soothing effect. Apply the juice to the affected area of \u200b\u200bthe skin after a shower or bath.

The menthol in peppermint leaves relieves itching and has a soothing effect on inflamed skin. Mint leaves are preferably used fresh; they are applied to the area covered with a rash and secured with a bandage. In the same way, in folk medicine, fresh leaves of meadow clover are used, and inflamed eyes are washed with its juice in case of allergic conjunctivitis.

Hygiene at home

If the cause is dust or pets, regular, thorough dry and wet mopping can help reduce symptoms. At the same time, it is advisable to install a high-purity filter on the vacuum cleaner and do not forget to vacuum the surfaces that cannot be wiped or washed. For mattresses, pillowcases and upholstered furniture, it is recommended to use special dust covers that can be washed frequently. Blankets and pillows are best used with synthetic fillers, not feathers. And if there is a child in the house, it is necessary to wash his toys often.

If mold is an allergen, then install dehumidifiers or ventilation devices in places subject to moisture accumulation (such as kitchens, bathrooms). You should especially carefully monitor the corners in the bathroom, the space under the sink and the bathroom itself, as well as behind the back of the refrigerator and the kitchen sink - this is where mold most often starts. If necessary, mold is disposed of with chemicals.

The air temperature in the house should be rather cool than hot (about 20-22 °), and the humidity should be from 40 to 50%. For air purifiers or air conditioners, it is recommended to use high purity filters - they have the ability to trap allergens.

Is it possible to get rid of allergies permanently?

The question of how to cure allergies forever worries many of those who suffer from this disease. In some cases, if the allergy manifests itself in childhood, then the child can outgrow it and get rid of unpleasant symptoms in adulthood. This requires strengthening the immune system and qualified treatment for allergies. But for adults, it is usually much more difficult to permanently cure allergies. However, allergy treatment can help relieve or even eliminate symptoms of the disease, and precautions can help prevent allergic attacks.

Officially, the concept was introduced into everyday life in 1906 by a pediatrician from Vienna, Klimens von Pirke.

He noticed that his patients had symptoms caused by various influences of the external environment.

Currently, there are more and more patients suffering from this disease, and more factors in the appearance of this problem.

In connection with what the question is, how and how to treat it?

What is it

The term refers to the increased sensitivity of the human body to external factors, to some specific substance.

These substances can be:

1. various plants and their pollen;
2. dust;
3. microbes;
4. animal hair;
5. food component.

Scientists have found that there is even an allergen that develops directly inside the body. Their scientific name is endoallergen.

The disease in each patient develops individually, but the number of people suffering from it is growing every year.

We can say that an allergy is an “abnormal” reaction of the body to an external factor.

Reasons for the appearance

For the development of an allergic reaction, a number of factors are required, which, most often in combination, are capable of causing this problem in humans.

The main factors include:

• unhealthy Lifestyle;
• unhealthy diet, which includes various additives of chemical origin, carcinogens, fats;
• ecology;
• stress can also cause this disease.

If the body already has a tendency to this disease, then the initiators of this problem can be:

1. dust (household or street);
2. animal hair, both domestic and as filler, for example, bed linen;
3. pollen of flowering herbs;
4. foreign proteins obtained from donated blood or plasma;
5. food;
6. various bites of animals or insects;
7. chemical products, such as cleaning or washing powder;
8. mold and fungal spores;
9. certain medications or vitamins.

Types

In total, four types of allergic reactions are distinguished:

1. the first type of reaction is anaphylactic hypersensitivity.It develops within minutes of exposure to the allergen. Examples are anaphylactic shock, atopic or bronchial asthma;
2. the second type is cytotoxic type hypersensitivity.Unlike the first type of reaction, it proceeds more slowly, and manifests itself within 6 hours after contact with the allergen. This is characteristic of allergic manifestations of drugs;
3. the third is an immunocomplex reaction. It manifests itself 6-12 hours after interaction with the allergen. Examples are consequences such as conjunctivitis, allergic dermatitis;
4. the fourth is a cell-dependent hypersensitivity reaction (cellular reaction or delayed-type hypersensitivity). It occurs 24-72 hours after a person's contact with an allergen. In this case, damage to the skin most often occurs.

This type means a whole complex of diseases.

The main symptom of urticaria is the presence of blisters or blisters on the body that resemble a nettle burn.

This is where the name came from.

The most severe disease is considered to last more than five weeks.

Quite often, this disease reappears.

There are four types of urticaria:

1. sharp - character by a sharp manifestation, itching, a rash of blisters of various sizes. The main places of appearance are arms, legs, buttocks, trunk. With this type, the rash goes away within 2 hours;
2. persistent papular chronic - the rash will persist for a long time, gradually transforming into papules of a red-brown color. Most often located on the bends of the limbs;
3. recurrent chronic - manifests itself as an attack and persists on the body for a long time. May be accompanied by fever, headache, nausea and vomiting;
4. sunny - manifests itself after prolonged exposure to rays on open areas of the body. Patients with this disease are prohibited from being in the sun for a long time, as cardiac activity may be impaired.

To treat this type, you first need to eliminate the allergen that provoked it.

• antihistamines;
• various ointments;
• creams that relieve itching.

It takes up to two days to treat the acute phase of urticaria.

For chronic treatment - more than two weeks.

Bronchial asthma

Bronchial asthma is a chronic disease caused by a narrowing of the lumen between the bronchi due to the presence of an allergen.

It can be manifested by bouts of coughing, choking.

Or proceed at regular intervals - while the patient feels:

1. cough;
2. shortness of breath;
3. wheezing;
4. heaviness in the chest.

Bronchial asthma is caused by external and internal allergens.

Two types of drugs are used to treat it:

1. symptomatic medications - in the event of an emergency and sharp attack, quickly relieves exacerbation;
2. basic drugs - for intermittent therapy.

The most serious complication of this type is asthmatic status.

Conjunctivitis is an eye disease in which the mucous membrane of the eye becomes inflamed due to external exposure to an allergen or various environmental factors.

Depending on the cause that caused the disease, the following types of conjunctivitis are divided:

• allergic - occurs upon contact with an allergen (wool, dust, plants, pollen);
• chlamydial - manifests itself when chlamydia gets into the eyes;
• viral - provoked by various viruses, for example, adeno virus, herpes virus;

Conjunctivitis is divided into:

1. acute conjunctivitis;
2. chronic.

The mucous membrane can become inflamed in different ways, have different formations.

In this regard, the following types of disease are distinguished:

• purulent - due to the presence of purulent discharge;
• catarrhal - no pus, but abundant discharge from the mucous membrane of the eye;
• papillary - caused by a reaction to eye medications;
• follicular - accompanied by follicles in the upper eyelid, most often occurs with the first type of disease.

Conjunctivitis is also accompanied by such factors as:

• edema;
• pain in the eyes;
• redness;
• discharge of a purulent or mucous type;
• lacrimation.

The method of treatment of this type is determined only by a doctor based on all of the above factors.

Dermatitis is an acute contact inflammation of the skin caused by exposure to adverse factors, both external and internal.

Dermatitis is of two types:

Rhinitis

Rhinitis is a disease that occurs in the upper respiratory tract.

Accompanied by:

1. sneezing;
2. difficult breathing;
3. stuffy nose with discharge.

Can be as follows:

• allergic;
• infectious;
• non-allergic;
• non-infectious.

This disease can occur as seasonal, for example, allergic rhinitis caused by seasonal flowering of quinoa. Or year-round.

Symptoms of manifestation

The main symptoms of allergy include:

• inflammation and redness of the eyes;
• problems with the upper respiratory tract;
• skin rashes;
• upset stomach, vomiting, diarrhea.

All of the above diseases and manifestations accompany the course of the disease, and are also its immediate symptoms.

Of course, when such signs appear, you must consult a doctor in order to avoid complications of the disease.

How to get rid of allergies forever

It is almost impossible to cure the disease forever.

1. maintaining the body in dangerous seasons;
2. systematic therapy;
3. avoid contact with allergens - subject to its identification and definition;
4. in the period of exacerbation - the implementation of all recommendations for the relief of the allergic process.

Subject to these rules, the patient has the opportunity to lead a practically normal life, reducing the risk of exacerbation to a minimum.

Some patients turn to alternative traditional medicine.

There is information that with the help of them you can get rid of the disease forever, but doctors are very skeptical about this information.

Often enough, you can prevent allergic reactions by strengthening the body's immune system.

As a result, the body's resistance to negative and harmful external and internal factors increases.

The easiest way to strengthen immunity is to take a seasonal vitamin.For example, in winter and spring, when there are few of them in food.

And also taking immunostimulating drugs. These include:

1. echinacea tincture or Echinacea tablets;
2. Immunal;
3. Anaferon;
4. Aflubin.

Vitamins that support the body's immune system are -A,B,C,E.

Minerals also play an important role - zinc, magnesium, iron

However, do not forget about:

• physical activity;
• walks in the fresh air;
• drinking regimen.

All these actions have an excellent effect on strengthening the body.

In folk medicine, infusions and decoctions are used to strengthen immunity:

• st. John's wort;
• sage;
• rose hips;
• hawthorn.

You should eat more berries - cranberries, lingonberries, black currants.

Helpful intestinal microflora

Science has proven that one of the reasons is a decrease in the number of beneficial bacteria in the intestinal microflora, as well as the appearance of pathogenic microbes there.

This state of the body is commonly called intestinal dysbiosis.

The weight of the necessary bacteria in the human body reaches two to three kilograms.

It is these bacteria that are responsible for the production and excretion from food eaten by humans, or rather, from dietary fiber:

• useful substances;
• vitamins;
• amino acids;
• enzymes.

All these substances have a positive effect on human immunity, are responsible for his health and mood, and increase hemoglobin.

With a sufficient number of beneficial bacteria, they are able to independently fight pathogenic organisms. Thus, neutralizing the imbalance in the microflora of the body.

Unfortunately, some diseases lead to the fact that for their treatment, the patient needs to take a course of antibiotics, which kill beneficial bacteria.

The pathogenic ones take their place. They do not meet with resistance, causing further gastrointestinal diseases. Then the intestinal mucosa is destroyed, and toxins and allergens begin to actively enter the bloodstream.

It is very important that a person's diet consists of food rich in fiber and dietary fiber - this is food for beneficial microflora.

Remove allergen

This is perhaps the main point in the treatment. First you need to identify and eliminate the cause, and then proceed to eliminate the symptoms.

1. carry out daily cleaning of the apartment;
2. change bed linen regularly;
3. exclude an allergenic product from the diet;
4. when working with household chemicals - use protective equipment (masks, gloves, etc.);
5. use only hypoallergenic products;
6. with a seasonal form - less walking on the street in the peaks of flowering;
7. comb the animals and keep their toilet clean.

Routes of entry into the body of allergens

The disease manifests itself with a high concentration of allergens in the human blood.

They can enter the body through the respiratory tract, with food.

When the first signs appear, urgent measures must be taken so that there is no more acute stage, or a protracted illness. There are many drugs for this.

There are also folk methods of struggle. Each patient makes their own decision.

Medication assistance

Basic action list:

1. we take medications that quickly stop allergic reactions. They are tablets, preferably a new generation, that can quickly remove a relapse;
2. then it is necessary to clean the intestines and stomach with an adsorbent. The most popular are Polysorb and Enterodez. They are taken by the course according to the instructions;
3. we restore the intestinal microflora with preparations containing beneficial bacteria. For example, Hilak Forte, Linex, Bifiform, Baktistatin;
4. if the manifestations have not completely disappeared, but residual effects are observed, then it is recommended to take antihistamines, for a course of at least 7 days.

If these actions are followed, the allergen must be completely removed from the body.

He will be able to more effectively select the right drugs.

There are a number of popular tips for preventing the development of the disease.

The most popular are:

1. when removing inflammation from the skin, a mumiyo solution is used, based on the proportions of 1 gram of mumiyo per 100 grams of water, wipe the affected areas. When taken orally, a mumiyo solution is made with a lower concentration. It is taken on an empty stomach, 100 grams. The course of treatment is up to 20 days;
2. prepare eggshell powder at home, take a quarter teaspoon after meals with a couple of drops of lemon juice. This tool does not have a course, but is taken until the undesirable manifestations disappear completely;
3. apply juice treatment. For this, juice is prepared from carrots, fresh cucumbers, beets in a ratio of 10: 3: 3. This juice is consumed for two to three weeks, 2 teaspoons up to three times a day, half an hour before meals.

Why there is a reaction to food

There are a number of foods that are high in histidine. It is an amino acid that is further transformed into histidine.

Histamine is usually in the body in a bound state, regulates and is responsible for the vital functions of the human body.

However, in a free state, it promotes the expansion of capillaries, lowers the pressure.

All this leads to a violation of the heart rhythm, reflex stimulation of the adrenal glands, the release of adrenaline.

Products containing histidine

The main foods high in histidine include:

• white chicken meat;
• pork - in particular tenderloin;
• peanuts and soybeans;
• tuna and salmon;
• lentils;
• beef fillet.

Often ordinary cow's milk acts as a provocateur. This type is manifested in infants.

Most often this leads to a complete intolerance to milk protein. That is, even breast milk contributes to the onset of symptoms.

In this case, an allergy remedy for babies is the replacement of cow's or mother's milk with goat's milk. It is considered a hypoallergenic product.

If it is impossible to accurately identify what exactly is the reaction, then a food diary should be kept.

For this, all foods that are suspected and that are allergens are removed from the diet for a week.

Then one product is introduced in small doses for a week. All observations, products, as well as the body's reaction to them are recorded in the diary.

A week later, a new product is introduced, and similar activities are carried out.

After that, together with the allergist, it is recommended to choose the correct diet, to identify the most dangerous foods.

In the presence of a food form, it is advisable to remove from the diet all products with a high content of chemical preservatives and dyes.

Usually, for treatment, it is enough to adjust the diet, remove unnecessary and dangerous products.

Antihistamines are not required. However, cleaning the digestive tract with adsorbents will definitely not be superfluous.

Facial manifestations - what to do

Very often, the disease manifests itself on the face in the form of skin inflammation, rash and rather severe itching.

When treating this problem, you must first identify the allergen.

If this is food, then remove harmful, if it is dust, pollen, animal hair, remove the allergen, ventilate the apartment, do the cleaning and start taking antihistamines.

Hormone creams can be used to treat facial rashes, not ointments!

The cream has a lighter texture, absorbs faster without leaving a greasy film.

Advantan cream is very popular.

Do not self-medicate. When choosing drugs, it is recommended to consult a doctor for advice.

For the treatment of allergies in children, you need to use only those drugs that are permissible in this age group.

Do not use hormonal creams and ointments as long as possible. And to do with lighter means and normalization of nutrition, cleaning the gastrointestinal tract.

When using drugs from traditional medicine, most often the dosage needs to be halved from that recommended for an adult.

It is possible to treat pregnant women with folk remedies only with the help of eggshell powder without restriction.

All medicines have contraindications for pregnant women. Therefore, it is possible to use traditional and traditional medicine only after consulting a doctor.

Forecast

This disease is infrequently amenable to complete cure.

Therefore, the best remedy for allergies is an integrated approach to treatment.

But everything is possible with the right choice of methods and drugs.

All this should be done in parallel with strengthening the body, proper nutrition.
