Health education advice
a) What is allergy and what is an allergic reaction?
Allergy is an excessive reaction by the body to substances it considers harmful, known as allergens. Allergens are the factors and substances that trigger allergy and the associated disorders.
Allergic reactions are triggered by repeated, intensive contact with allergens.
The allergic reaction refers to the set of symptoms that appear minutes or hours after exposure to allergens. These allergens may come from plants, animal hair, food, dust mites, molds or substances of occupational origin.
This allergic reaction causes the body to release substances such as histamine, which are responsible for the symptoms experienced.
As with any illness of an allergic nature, it's important to consult a doctor at least once. HE OR SHE WILL DETERMINE THE NEED FOR AN ALLERGY TEST.
b) How to recognize allergic rhinitis, seasonal or non-seasonal allergic conjunctivitis and acute localized urticaria?
Allergic rhinitis is characterized by the following symptoms: successive sneezing, colorless nasal discharge, nasal obstruction (blocked nose), itching and tingling of the nose. It can be accompanied by irritation of both eyes (tearing, redness), throat and nose.
A distinction is made between :
- Seasonal allergic rhinitis or hay fever: occurs every year at the same time of year, when the concentration of pollens in the air increases. Allergies to pollens are very common, and usually first appear during adolescence. They recur every year at the same time, depending on the presence of the pollen(s) responsible. However, you are not allergic to all pollens, but to one or more of them.
- Perennial allergic rhinitis occurs all year round, and most often depends on household allergens such as dust mites, molds and pets.
- Allergic conjunctivitis is characterized by tearing and stinging of both eyes.
- Acute localized urticaria is characterized by itching, redness and swelling.
c) Practical advice
Eliminating the allergen (eviction) is the best way to eliminate or reduce allergy symptoms.
For household allergens: it is essential to take measures to reduce the presence of the allergen:
- mattresses and pillows should be completely encased in anti-dust mite plastic covers. The bed base, unless slatted or metal, should be encased in plastic. All bedding should be washed twice a month at 60°C if possible;
- The bedroom should be regularly aired and cleaned;
- on the floor, avoid bedspreads and carpets;
- avoid pets;
- during the pollen season, it is possible to reduce exposure to pollens:
o in your garden, diversify your planting, avoiding the most allergenic species (cypress, cedar, birch, etc.);
o avoid mowing the lawn yourself during the pollen season;
o garden preferably with protective goggles and mask.
This medicine is a generic of AERIUS.
This drug is a long-acting antihistamine. In most cases, it has no sedative effect, unlike older antihistamines.

This medicine is available without prescription. However, in the absence of medical advice, it should only be used in cases of urticaria already diagnosed by a doctor and previously treated with a drug containing the same substance.
Precautions should be taken in cases of severe renal or hepatic insufficiency, or a history of convulsions.
Antihistamines can distort the results of skin allergy tests. Before performing these tests, it is advisable to stop taking this medication for a few days; ask your doctor for advice when making your appointment.
Although no clear interaction with alcohol has been observed, avoid alcoholic beverages during treatment.
This drug may very rarely cause drowsiness. Before driving or operating machinery, check that you can tolerate the drug before taking it for the first time.
The scientific data currently available have not revealed any particular problems with the use of this drug during pregnancy at the recommended dose. Nevertheless, do not use it without medical advice.
This drug passes only slightly into breast milk: breast-feeding is not recommended without medical advice.
This medicine may be taken either with or without meals.
Duration of treatment varies according to symptoms.
This medication acts on allergy symptoms, but does not eliminate the cause. If symptoms persist or worsen, consult your doctor.
Common (1-10% of people): headache, dry mouth, fatigue.
Very rare (less than 0.01% of people): hallucinations, dizziness, drowsiness, insomnia, agitation, convulsions, palpitations, increased heart rate, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, difficult digestion, diarrhea, muscle pain, increased transaminases, hepatitis, allergic reaction (urticaria, difficulty breathing, angioedema, anaphylactic shock).
Undetermined frequency: aggressiveness, behavioural disorders, depressed mood, photosensitivity, increased appetite, weight gain, dry eyes.
General name for a family of substances that can be mixed with water and fats. The most common alcohol is ethyl alcohol (ethanol), but there are many other alcohols, such as methanol and butanol. The degree of an alcoholic solution corresponds to the volume of pure alcohol present in 100 ml of solution, bearing in mind that 1 balloon glass of wine or 1 half of beer (25 cl) contains around 8 g of alcohol.
When alcohol is used as an antiseptic, an unpleasant-smelling denaturant is often added to prevent it from being drunk. Contrary to popular belief, 70° (or even 60°) alcohol is a better antiseptic than 90° alcohol.
See article: Alcohol dependence
Skin reaction (itching, pimples, swelling) or general discomfort following contact with a particular substance, the use of a medicine or the ingestion of a food. The main forms of allergy are eczema, urticaria, asthma, angioedema and allergic shock (anaphylactic shock). Food allergy can also lead to digestive problems.
A condition that has been cured or is still evolving. Antecedents can be personal or familial. Antecedents are the history of a person's health.
Drug that counteracts the various effects of histamine. There are two main types: H1-type antihistamines (anti-allergic) and H2-type antihistamines (gastric antiulcer). Some H1-type antihistamines are sedative, while others do not affect alertness.
Allergic shock manifested by a sudden drop in blood pressure, due to extreme dilation of the blood vessels. It occurs after contact with an allergenic substance (food, insect sting, injection or absorption of medication).
Involuntary contractions limited to a few muscles or generalized to the whole body. They are due to suffering or excessive stimulation of the brain: fever, intoxication, lack of oxygen, brain damage. Convulsions may be due to an epileptic seizure or high fever in young children.
The strict medical meaning of diarrhea is "the emission of stools that are too frequent and abundant". In fact, common sense equates diarrhea with the notion of frequent, liquid stools. Normally, stools are pasty, but the emission of liquid or barely-formed stools, with no associated pain or particular disorder, is not pathological. Diarrhea occurs when liquid stools are passed repeatedly throughout the day, and the need for them is urgent or painful.
Many drugs can accelerate intestinal transit and make stools more liquid, without this undesirable effect being a real cause for concern.
Antibiotics can alter the digestive flora, essential for digestion, and cause diarrhoea, which is more or less uncomfortable but benign. The effect may appear immediately or after a few days' treatment. A serious and exceptional form of diarrhea, pseudomembranous colitis, may be observed after antibiotic treatment; this condition is characterized by the emission of mucus and false membranes (resembling flaps of skin) associated with abdominal pain; constipation may replace the initial diarrhea. Pseudomembranous colitis may occur several days after antibiotic treatment has stopped, and requires urgent medical advice.
See Diarrhea and gastroenteritis in adults or Diarrhea and gastroenteritis in children.
The frequency of an adverse reaction is described in official documents as follows:
Inflammation of the liver. It may be due to a drug, a virus, alcohol or another cause.
Viral hepatitis usually recovers without treatment. Unlike hepatitis A and E, which are almost always benign, hepatitis B and C can become chronic: the virus persists in the body of the patient, who remains contagious but does not necessarily suffer liver damage. Chronic hepatitis is said to be active when the virus continues to destroy liver cells, as evidenced by an increase in transaminases in the blood.
See articles: Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C and Hepatitis E
In its medical sense, mood is synonymous with morale. A mood disorder can take the form of depression or euphoric excitement, for example.
Inability of the kidneys to eliminate waste products or drugs. Advanced renal failure does not necessarily mean a reduction in the quantity of urine eliminated. Only a blood test and creatinine level can reveal this condition.
Abnormal perception of irregular heartbeats.
See article: Palpitations.
Allergic reaction generally affecting the face. Quincke's edema is characterized by swelling that can be spectacular. The eyelids are often the first to be affected. In rare cases, when the swelling reaches the throat, respiratory problems may occur and urgent treatment is required.
Reaction caused by the body's hypersensitivity to a drug. Allergic reactions can take a variety of forms: urticaria, angioedema, eczema, measles-like rash and so on. Anaphylactic shock is a generalized allergic reaction that causes a sudden drop in blood pressure.
See article: Can you be allergic to medication?
Inflammation or infection of the nose and nasal cavities. Rhinitis can be infectious (bacterial or viral) or allergic in origin. Allergic rhinitis includes seasonal rhinitis (hay fever) and perennial rhinitis, which often persists throughout the year (due, for example, to dust mites, animal hair or chemical agents).
See article: Colds (rhinitis)
Disturbance experienced by a person suffering from an illness. The same symptom may reflect different illnesses, and the same illness does not necessarily give rise to the same symptoms in all sufferers.
Enzymes measured in the blood, whose levels rise in certain cases of hepatitis. They appear in blood tests under the names SGOT and SGPT or ASAT and ALAT.
Rash of pimples on the skin, most often of allergic origin. The pimples resemble nettle stings and vary in color from pale pink to red. Hives can appear or disappear within minutes, causing intense itching; they can be localized or generalized to the entire skin surface. When urticaria occurs on a daily basis and no cause is found, we speak of spontaneous chronic urticaria.
A symptom that may refer to an impression of loss of balance (common sense) or, more strictly, a sensation of spinning around oneself or the environment (medical sense).
