Allergy prevention is a set of measures aimed at preventing the development of allergic diseases. If you have hypersensitivity to any irritant, first of all, for prevention purposes, you need to avoid contact with it and strengthen your immune system by eating right and observing hygiene rules.

General information

The overwhelming majority of people do not have such an illness as an allergy. However, if they do, the human immune system, for reasons that have not yet been studied, perceives completely ordinary substances of a protein nature as a threat. In this case, the body begins to actively defend itself, which leads to the appearance of unpleasant symptoms.

An allergy is an inadequate excessive response of the body to some irritant. It is often chronic and caused by a genetic predisposition.

Factors that predispose to the appearance of an illness of this nature:

  • Heredity. If one parent is ill, the child is predisposed to this deviation by approximately 40%. If both parents are allergic - by 75-80%.
  • Quality of nutrition. Chemical additives present in food products significantly affect the increase in allergy of the population.
  • Environmental conditions of the environment. People with this type of disorder are more often observed in the city than in rural areas.
  • Excessive hygiene. It is believed that an excessive desire for cleanliness deprives a person of any contact with some potentially harmful and dangerous substances (bacteria, fungi, microbes, etc.). In this regard, the body loses the ability to fight, and the immune system "looks for" irritants "in the face" of pollen, food, household chemicals, etc.

Procedure

Professional allergists are engaged in identifying the disease, as well as prescribing treatment and prevention of allergies. To begin with, tests and skin tests are carried out. To do this, a certain allergen is injected into the skin on the inner surface of the forearm or on the skin of the back. The reaction should occur in about half an hour. Then the level of immunoglobulin in the blood is determined, on the basis of which other tests (sputum, smear from the paranasal sinuses) and appropriate therapy are prescribed.

Methods that allow you to minimize the factors of disease development:

  • Studying your family tree. In this way, you can prevent the occurrence and complications of this disease, if in your case it is due to a genetic predisposition;
  • A healthy lifestyle. This primarily includes: proper nutrition (limiting alcohol, sweets, baked goods and products containing chemical dyes and additives), hardening, regular walks in the fresh air, airing out the living space, wet cleaning in it, as well as the use of air purifiers and air conditioners. Physical activity and sports are important;
  • Timely treatment of somatic diseases: gastritis, intestinal dysbacteriosis, chronic tonsillitis, etc.;
  • Rational use of medications. It is necessary to avoid uncontrolled intake of medications in large quantities and follow the instructions of the attending specialist. As practice shows, with the simultaneous use of three to five drugs, the probability of developing an allergy to medications is approximately 25%, more than five - 50%.

Indications

Symptoms:

  • runny nose, congestion of the respiratory tract;
  • lacrimation;
  • shortness of breath, attacks of suffocation;
  • redness of the eyes and locations of foci of inflammation;
  • joint pain;
  • nausea, sometimes vomiting;
  • eczema, rash, urticaria;
  • itching and dryness of the skin;
  • rhinitis, Quincke's edema, conjunctivitis and dermatitis.

Contraindications

There are few contraindications for allergy prevention in children and adults. After all, its goal is to protect against the disease or prevent its worsening. It makes sense to exclude a side effect of taking certain medications, since in case of their excess the body can give an allergic reaction directly to the medications.
