Allergies- Allergies are happens when a person’s immune system reacts to something that’s usually harmless for her/him. Those triggers are called “allergens”. It starts when person come into contact with a trigger that he/she inhale, swallow, or get on skin. In response, immune system starts make a protein called IgE (immunoglobulin-E), which grabs onto the allergen. Then histamine and other chemicals get released into the blood. That causes those symptoms called “allergy”.

Respiratory allergies
Itchy, watery eyes- Sneezing
- Itchy, runny nose
- Feeling tired or ill
- The most severe allergic reaction – “anaphylaxis”. (Anaphylaxis – threatening situation)
The symptoms of anaphylaxis can come on suddenly and can quickly go from.
A mild rash or runny nose can cause serious problems like hard time breathing, tightness in the throat, hives or swelling, nausea or vomiting, and fainting or dizziness even rapid pulse (bradycardia) and… death (anaphylactic shock).
A second anaphylactic episode can happen up to 12 hours after the first one.
Anaphylactic reaction symptoms :
- Hives and itching all over.
- Wheezing or shortness of breath.
- Hoarseness or tightness in the throat.
- Swelling of the face, eyelids, lips, tongue, or throat.
- Tingling in the hands, feet, lips, or scalp.
Skin allergies
Common symptoms of a skin allergy include :
Eczema – Also known as atopic dermatitis (hives, itching, swelling, sneezing, and a runny nose), Patient’s skin may be red, itchy, or swollen.
Hives (urticaria)
Hives (urticaria) are skin reactions that appear as red, raised, itchy welts and can occur on any part of the body. Short-lived (acute) hives are often due to an allergic reaction to a food or medication, though they also commonly result from a viral infection in children. They can also result from contact (such as licking) from cats or dogs. Hives that recur over a longer period (chronic hives) are rarely due to an allergic reaction. Hives are characterized by
- raised, red, welts that resolve over hours to a day;
- intense itching (typically not painful);
- no residual marks or bruising upon resolution; and
- swelling (particularly of the lips, face, hands, and feet).
Food Allergies
Food allergies can cause stomach cramps, vomiting, and diarrhea. Some times edema, swelling, redness, Itching or hives, fainting or dizziness even rapid pulse (bradycardia) – anaphylactic shock.
Anaphylaxis
Anaphylactic shock is a potentially life-threatening allergic reaction that can affect a number of organs at the same time. Allergens that typically lead to anaphylaxis are foods, medications, and venom (bee stings). Environmental allergens rarely lead to anaphylaxis, except anaphylaxis can result from allergy shots (subcutaneous immunotherapy). Some or all of the following symptoms may occur:
- Hives itching or flushing present in 80%-90% of cases
- Nasal congestion, runny nose, itchy eyes
- Swelling of the tongue and/or throat
- Abdominal discomfort, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea
- Shortness of breath, wheezing, coughing
- Low blood pressure, leading to lightheadedness, passing out, or shock.
Anaphylactic shock is an emergent, life-threatening condition that occurs when blood vessels dilate excessively due to an allergic reaction, which causes a significant drop in blood pressure. This can result in inadequate blood flow to the organs in the body.
diagnose allergies? What are the types of allergy testing?
The diagnosis of allergies begins with a detailed history and physical examination. Many people with allergies have other family members with allergic conditions. In addition to the history and exam, skin testing and sometimes blood work (specific IgE levels) can help with the diagnosis of allergies. There are several important considerations when interpreting the results of this testing:
- For environmental allergies such as pets, dust mites, pollen, and molds, skin prick testing is the best test to help with the diagnosis of allergy. Blood work looking for the allergic antibody (IgE) is less sensitive and may miss some allergies.
- For food allergy testing, the most important part of the diagnosis is the health history. Skin testing or blood work (specific IgE testing) should only be ordered if the history is suggestive of food allergy. Without a suggestive history, food allergy skin testing and blood work are not very specific and have a high rate of false-positive results.
- For food allergy testing, ordering skin testing or blood work (specific IgE testing) for broad panels of foods is discouraged, given the high rate of false-positive results.
- For drug allergy, history is the most important element in diagnosis. The only antibiotic with validated skin testing is penicillin. Penicillin skin testing can be very helpful in determining if an individual is truly allergic to penicillin and related antibiotics. Blood work (specific IgE testing) is not particularly helpful for the diagnosis of drug allergies.
- Sometimes, such as with food allergies and drug allergies, despite a detailed history and appropriate testing, the diagnosis of allergy remains unclear. In these situations, it is appropriate to consider a “graded challenge,” which is the “gold standard,” or the best test, for the diagnosis of allergies. A graded challenge should always be performed with an allergist in a setting equipped to manage a severe allergic reaction, such as anaphylaxis.
Allopathic treatment options for allergies
The treatment for allergies depends on the particular condition. Some general guidelines are as follows:
Allergic rhinitis and conjunctivitis
- Environmental control measures: These have limited efficacy.
- For dust mites, it helps to decrease humidity in the home and wash bedding in hot water once weekly.
- For pets, avoidance is most effective. Cat allergen is airborne, so having a cat in the home will cause allergic symptoms. Keeping dogs out of the bedroom may help reduce symptoms. Bathing both cats and dogs may decrease the allergen burden somewhat. There is no such thing as a hypoallergenic dog, but hypoallergenic cats have been bred. For pollen, keeping windows closed and staying indoors on high pollen days may be helpful.
- Oral antihistamines.
- Nasal antihistamines.
- Antihistamine eye drops.
- Nasal corticosteroids.
- Allergen immunotherapy.
Asthma
- Rescue inhalers
- Inhaled corticosteroids, inhaled corticosteroids/long-acting bronchodilator combinations, long-acting antimuscarinic medications
- Oral maintenance medications (anti-leukotriene medications, theophylline)
- Injectable medications, called “biologics” must be administered at a medical facility or sometimes at home
- Allergen immunotherapy
- Oral steroids
Eczema (atopic dermatitis)
- Routine moisturization
- Topical corticosteroids
- Oral antihistamines to help control itching
- Immunosuppressive medications in severe cases
- An injectable biologic medication, dupilumab.
Hives (urticaria)
- Oral antihistamines
- Oral steroids
- Injectable medications (biologic) administered in a medical facility
- Immunosuppressive medications in severe cases
Anaphylaxis
Epinephrine is the one and only allopathic drug for anaphylaxis, which is a severe allergic reaction that can involve multiple body systems and is life-threatening.
Epinephrine is administered in a medical facility or outside of a medical facility with an auto-injector into the muscle in the lateral thigh.
Up to 20%-30% of severe allergic reactions may require treatment with more than one dose of epinephrine, so individuals who carry epinephrine should ideally carry two auto-injectors.
Antihistamines such as diphenhydramine (Benadryl) are not appropriate treatments for anaphylaxis.
Allergen immunotherapy (allergy shots)
- Allergy shots have been shown to decrease symptoms of environmental allergies and asthma and may also be beneficial in eczema. Allergy shots should be prescribed by an allergist and should always be administered in a health care facility equipped to manage a serious allergic reaction (anaphylaxis). Allergy shots help make the body less sensitive to the culprit allergen, such as pets, dust mites, pollens, and molds.
- Sublingual immunotherapy, to date, this allopathic drug is only available for grass, ragweed, and dust mite. Unlike allergy shots, sublingual immunotherapy can be administered at home because the risk of a severe allergic reaction is lower with sublingual therapy.
- Of note, although there is significant research being done in the area, immunotherapy is not FDA-approved to treat food allergies. The treatment of food allergy remains avoidance of the culprit food and management of accidental exposures with the appropriate medications.
