Did you know that allergy can be life-threatening?

We all know that our body's immune system is the system that keeps us healthy by keeping our body free from all kinds of problems or diseases. Our immune system is like a faithful guard. Who patrol our bodies 24 hours a day and night to protect us from various harmful diseases.

We don't get sick easily no matter what unclean things we eat throughout the day or whatever germs enter our body with the air. All this is due to the contribution of those guardians of our body. Those who catch all the harmful things that enter our body and eliminate them instantly without our knowledge. This is our body's immune system. But it doesn't work perfectly all the time, sometimes it makes mistakes. And then it appears in our body as an allergy.

How are allergies?

Suppose you are sitting with your favorite food, roasted khichuri, in one of the monsoons. Fried hilsa fish and fried eggplant. Sitting comfortably and eating very happily. After a few meals, you notice that some body parts are itching, red and swollen. At one point, you will not be able to eat food, but the itching has increased. It is precarious and painful. What is the incident here? The fact is that your body's immune system has detected an ingredient in your food as harmful. And with that element, Bedam started fighting. As a result, you can see red swollen spots on the upper part of the body. And feeling very itchy. This is an allergy in medical terms. Although those food ingredients are not harmful to your body, your body's immune system recognizes them as enemies. And when he reached the patrol, he started a riot to suppress the enemy. And you later go to the Great Tribulation.

Usually, there is nothing to be afraid of. It goes away on its own. But it leaves many patients in great distress and confusion.

In rare cases, it can be fatal. So, I will first discuss some simple ways to avoid common allergies and some simple ways to recognize life-threatening allergies.

Ways to avoid allergies.

Allergy treatment is mainly of 2 types.

The first and most effective way is to avoid allergies.

That is, do not allow those who think that your body is the guard of your body to touch the edge of your body. Simply put, identify the things that cause your allergies and stay away from them as much as possible. But you have to work hard to find out what you are allergic to. You can say you have to do a little spying.         As we can see from the above example, when you were eating Bhuna Khichuri, it was accompanied by hilsa fish and fried eggplant. Since your allergy started when you eat khichuri, hilsa fish, and fried eggplant, your body's immune system starts fighting against any of these three food ingredients as an enemy. It means you are allergic to one of them.         Suppose again that sometime in the future you are eating eggplant and bread. And if the same allergy occurs then compare the ingredients of this food with the previous food. It was found that there are eggplants both times. Then you have to assume that you are allergic to eggplant. So, you have to stay away from eggplant to avoid allergies. Food allergies are easy to spot. But some things play a very important role in allergies, but they are not so easy to find. Below is a list of things that will make your job easier while spying.

Dust Mite

These are small insects. They cannot be seen with the naked eye. When seen under the microscope, they look like insects with white legs.

They survive by eating the dead cells that are shed from our skin. Our body is constantly shedding dead cells on the bed, carpet, and sofa. And billions of dust mites are nesting in the dead cells worn by the storm. And you may be allergic to this dust mite. It is a very rare cause of allergies.

So at least once a week these things should be cleaned with hot water. And it's best to use as little as possible of non-washable items.

Wear a good mask while making the bed or sweeping. So that this dust and sand go to the nose and mouth and do not become allergic again. And those that can be wiped with a wet cloth, wipe them with a wet cloth. So that the dust does not spread.

Fungus

            If the nest is damp, the fungus can develop. And small particles are secreted from the fungus. You may be allergic to it. So, take care not to get damp anywhere in the house. If there is any fungus in the house, remove it. Make arrangements so that light and air enter the house at all times. Do not dry wet clothes at home. If there are any trees inside the house, remove them outside.

Pollen

As the seasons change, the type of airborne pollen changes and the number increases and decreases. And at the same time, the intensity of your allergy may increase or decrease. There is a time of the year when many people have itchy eyes, runny noses, or keep sneezing and coughing. Pollen can be your enemy.

Note what time of year this happens to you. Always use a mask during that time. Try to keep your clothes as clean as possible. Dry the clothes indoors instead of outside. So that pollen does not spread on clothes. But be careful not to spread fungus again while drying clothes inside the house.

Heat or Sweat

Many people may have allergies due to heat or sweat. So, care should be taken so that the body does not get hot or sweat due to heat. And even if there is sweat, it should be cleaned as soon as possible. Wearing loose thin clothes. Many people can be allergic to cold as well as heat. Allergy can occur in wet rain, bathing in Ponds, etc. Also, there may be allergies to animal hair or feathers, smoke from vehicles on the road, dust, sand, certain insect bites, certain metals such as rings, watches, chains, or certain chemicals such as soap, shampoo, detergent, and perfume. Certain medications, such as antibiotics such as penicillin. Allergy can also occur from certain types of cloth or plastic. I have already mentioned the food. For example, you may be allergic to shrimp, milk, nuts, eggs, certain fish, soy, wheat, etc. Many times there may be an allergy to a specific type of food such as many people are not allergic to grass-fed beef but are allergic to corn-fed beef. You can understand that the list is very long. So, you can tell better what you are allergic to. And if you can find them and stay away from them, it will be much easier to control allergies.

The second way is to take treatment to reduce the allergy if it occurs.

That is, taking relief measures when allergic. Many of us may know and many of us don't.

What is the best medicine for allergy control?

            Antihistamines are the main and most effective medication for allergy control. First of all, I said that allergic diseases are formed due to the fight of the immune system. And one of the weapons of this immune system is histamine, which creates so much noise inside the body. In simple words, the body causes allergies. In short, histamine is responsible for all types of allergies. Medicines to suppress this histamine are antihistamines.

There are many such medicines, which help to reduce the pain of allergies very quickly. If you already know that you may be allergic, then it is better to eat beforehand. There is no possibility of allergy. But it must be consumed as per the advice of a doctor near you. If the nose is blocked due to allergies, there are medicines for that too. There are eye drops for itchy eyes.

Some home remedies to reduce allergies.

You can take some first aid at home to get rid of allergy itching.

1) To reduce the itching, you can apply a little cold compress on the area. Wrap some ice in a clean cloth and apply it to the itchy area.

2) Calamine Lotion, 1% Menthol cream, or moisturizing cream can also be used to reduce itching.

Some foods help reduce allergy flare-ups immediately.

For example,

1) Banana,

We all know more or less that banana is a very beneficial fruit for the body. But one very important thing is that sometimes if the allergy level increases after eating any food, then you can eat a few bananas at once. Because bananas help to increase the metabolism of the body.

2) Vitamin C foods,

Vitamin C-rich foods such as lemon or lemon juice can be mixed with water and honey. It will detoxify the body and help reduce allergies by removing toxic substances from the body.

You can also eat cucumber, ginger or ginger tea, or green tea. All these foods have antioxidants and antihistamines which will help in relieving your allergic inflammation. Another important aspect of solving allergy problems is stress. Allergies can worsen if you are under stress. So, try to bring peace of mind how? You can try regular exercise, yoga, or meditation.

If you have severe allergies, you may need to take steroids for a few days. You may have seen many videos on YouTube recommending steroids with name doses for allergies. But don't forget to do so. Because steroid medicines are very strong. It suppresses the body's immune system very quickly. So maybe during this time some other disease can come and nest in your body. You will get relief from allergy problems. But taking it in the wrong condition and taking it in the wrong dosage will likely cause more harm than good. So never take them without a doctor's advice.

Immunotherapy

Immuno-therapy is mainly based on finding genetic abnormalities in the patient and taking further measures. The next step in allergy treatment is immunotherapy. Many call it an allergy vaccine. The things you are allergic to need to be injected in small doses over several years.

Life-threatening allergy symptoms

            Life-threatening allergies start very quickly and worsen very quickly. Symptoms of life-threatening allergies are difficulty breathing, wheezing, chest tightness, dizziness, fainting, excessive sweating, swelling of the face-eyes-lips-tongue, and reddened skin. Or there may be abdominal pain with nausea or vomiting. If this happens, take the patient to the hospital as soon as possible. If the patient feels better for a while, take him to the hospital. As the above symptoms are life-threatening allergy symptoms, do not ignore them. Because if you can give an injection in time, the patient can get better. "Before concluding, never underestimate any disease and never self-medicate any disease with information from YouTube or any other source. Take advice from a good doctor you know. If you have any comments, you can comment."

"Stay healthy, stay well."
