Allergy Management
Allergy management involves identifying and avoiding allergens, which are substances that trigger allergic reactions. Common allergens include pollen, dust mites, pet dander, and certain foods like peanuts and shellfish. Keeping a clean environment, using air purifiers, and reading food labels can help minimize exposure to these triggers.
In addition to avoidance, allergy management may include medications such as antihistamines and inhalers to relieve symptoms. For some individuals, allergy shots or immunotherapy can gradually reduce sensitivity to specific allergens. Regular consultations with a healthcare provider are essential for effective management and to develop a personalized action plan.
