Answer first
What is allergies?
Allergies occur when the immune system reacts to a usually harmless substance such as pollen, dust, mold, animal dander, food, insect venom, or medication.
When should I see a healthcare provider?
Book care for recurring congestion, sneezing, itchy eyes, rash, hives, cough, or suspected triggers. Trouble breathing or swelling of the mouth or throat is an emergency.
How is it evaluated?
The team reviews symptom patterns, exposures, medical history, and related conditions. Testing or allergy-specialist referral may be recommended.
What may treatment or management involve?
Management may include trigger reduction, antihistamines, nasal medication, treatment of related conditions, and a clear plan for severe reactions.
Your care plan depends on your history, examination, and clinical findings. This page is general information and is not a diagnosis or treatment recommendation.
