ADVICE / HEALTH EDUCATION |
a) What is an allergy, what is an allergic reaction?
Allergy is an overreaction of our body to substances it considers harmful, allergens. Allergens are the factors and substances triggering allergy and associated disorders.
During repeated and intensive contacts of our body with the allergen, an allergic reaction is triggered.
The allergic reaction refers to all symptoms appearing a few minutes or hours after exposure to allergens. These allergens come from plants, animal hair, food, dust mites, molds or are substances of occupational origin.
This allergic reaction causes the release in the body of substances such as the histamine responsible for the disorders felt.
As with any allergic disease, it is important to consult a doctor at least once.
IT SHALL DETERMINE IN PARTICULAR THE NEED TO CARRY OUT AN ALLERGOLOGICAL BALANCE SHEET.
b) How to recognize allergic rhinitis?
Allergic rhinitis results in the following symptoms: successive sneezing, colorless nasal discharge, nasal obstruction (stuffy nose), itching and tingling of the nose. It may be accompanied by irritations of both eyes (tearing, redness), throat and nose.
We distinguish:
· Seasonal allergic rhinitis or hay fever: frequent, they occur every year in the same season, when pollen concentration increases in the air, and usually occur for the first time during adolescence. However, you may not be allergic to all pollens, but to one or more of them only.
· Perennial allergic rhinitis occurs throughout the year and most often depends on domestic allergens such as dust mites, molds, and domestic animals.
c) Some practical tips
Removing the allergen (foreclosure) is the measure of choice to suppress or reduce the symptoms of allergy.
For household allergens: measures to reduce the presence of allergens are essential:
· The mattress should be completely surrounded by a plastic dust mite cover as well as the pillows. The bed base, unless it is in slats or metal, shall be surrounded by a plastic. All bedding should be washed twice a month at 60 ° C if possible,
· The room must be ventilated and cleaned regularly,
· On the floor, one will avoid the descent of bed and the carpets,
