Read MoreAllergies are one of the most common chronic conditions affecting both children and adults. They occur when the immune system reacts to substances called allergens. Allergens that are typically harmless to others, such as pollen, pet dander, dust mites, foods, or insect stings. Whether you’re dealing with seasonal allergies or a sudden flare-up, InMotion Health offers fast, personalized care for allergy symptoms.
What Are Allergies?
Allergies are the result of your immune system overreacting to a specific substance. When exposed to an allergen, your body produces antibodies that trigger a release of histamine and other chemicals. Allergies can affect the respiratory tract, skin, digestive system, or eyes and vary from mild to severe.
How Are Allergies Treated?
An InMotion Health provider will review your medical history, recent exposures, and current symptoms to help identify the allergen and determine the severity of your reaction.
Based on your symptoms, history, and examination, your personalized treatment plan may include antihistamines, decongestants, nasal sprays, and topical solutions. For more persistent or severe symptoms, prescription medications may be recommended to help you begin treatment right away.
Allergy Symptoms
Symptoms can vary depending on the allergen and how your body reacts. Common allergy symptoms include:
- Sneezing, nasal congestion, or runny nose
- Itchy, watery, or red eyes
- Coughing, wheezing, or shortness of breath
- Skin rashes, eczema, or hives
- Digestive issues such as bloating, nausea, or diarrhea (for food allergies
- Fatigue or general discomfort
If symptoms worsen or interfere with daily life, seeking treatment early can make a big difference.
What Causes Allergies?
Allergies can be triggered by a wide range of environmental or biological substances; some people may have a genetic predisposition to allergies or develop them later in life:
- Airborne allergens: pollen, mold spores, pet dander, and dust mites
- Food allergens: peanuts, tree nuts, dairy, shellfish, wheat, and soy
- Insect stings: bees, wasps, or fire ants
- Medications: certain antibiotics or pain relievers
- Skin contact: latex, nickel, or specific fragrances and chemicals
Why Is Allergy Treatment Important?
Untreated allergy symptoms can significantly impact your daily life, disrupting sleep, impairing concentration, and causing ongoing discomfort. In more severe cases, allergic reactions like anaphylaxis can be life-threatening if not treated quickly. Prompt, expert care helps control symptoms, prevent complications, and improve your quality of life. This kind of intervention is particularly critical for children, individuals with asthma, or those who have experienced severe allergic reactions in the past.
How Can I Prevent Future Allergy Flares?
Preventing future allergy flares starts with consistent habits and environmental awareness; we recommend monitoring pollen counts and limiting outdoor activity during peak allergy seasons. Regularly bathing pets and limiting their access to sleeping areas can also help reduce allergen exposure. In addition, if you have food allergies, it’s important to avoid known triggers and always carry any prescribed emergency medications.
