An allergy is an overreaction of the immune system to an inappropriate stimulus, such as dust, pollen, grass, pet dander, mold, etc. The immune system believes it is being invaded by a parasite rather than a harmless allergen in the environment, and therefore it rallies its defenses to fight off the enemy.
The list of symptoms caused by allergies is longer than you might think. Primary signs of allergies include:
Mental problems such as confusion, slow thinking, depression, and forgetfulness.
Respiratory effects including endless colds, chronic cough, recurrent bronchitis.
There are many items in the environment that could cause your allergies. They fall into four general categories:
Do you have a temperature or general aches and pains? If so, you're likely dealing with a cold, not seasonal allergies. Either way, AFC can help.
Nasal steroid sprays, antihistamines, and decongestants are often used to treat seasonal allergies. While many of these can be purchased over the counter, some patients need prescription-strength allergy medicine.
We can help you try to identify your triggers when you visit our clinic. Our providers know the right questions to ask and can help you get relief quickly.
