What does allergology cover?
Allergology is a medical specialty dedicated to the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of respiratory, skin, food, and drug allergies.
An allergy is an abnormal immune system response to harmless substances, known as allergens. Allergic reactions can affect different tissues and manifest as:
- Skin rashes: hives, contact dermatitis, eczema.
- Respiratory problems: asthma, nasal congestion, sinusitis.
- Gastrointestinal symptoms: abdominal pain, diarrhea, nausea.
- Severe reactions: such as anaphylactic shock, which requires immediate intervention.
When should you see an allergist?
Consulting an allergist is important in the following cases:
- Recurring skin or respiratory reactions, especially if seasonal or triggered by specific foods.
- Persistent allergies that do not improve with antihistamines.
- Symptoms that interfere with daily life, such as hay fever or chronic sinusitis.
- Episodes of anaphylactic shock or severe allergic reactions.
