First aid for Allergy:

An allergy occurs when a person's immune system reacts to substances in the environment that are harmless for most people. These substances are known as allergens and are found in dust mites, pets, pollen, insects, ticks, molds, foods, and some medicines. A substance that is an allergen for one person may not be for another - everyone reacts differently. 

When a person who is allergic to a particular allergen comes into contact with it, an allergic reaction occurs. This begins when the allergen, enters the body, triggering an antibody response. The antibodies attach themselves to special cells, called mast cells. When the pollen comes into contact with the antibodies, the mast cells respond by releasing certain substances, one of which is called histamine. 

When the release of histamine is due to an allergen, the resulting swelling and inflammation are extremely irritating and uncomfortable. A condition in which the immune system reacts abnormally to a foreign substance.

 Types of allergy:

☺ Drug allergy,
☺ Food allergies,
☺ Contact dermatitis, 
☺ Latex allergy, 
☺ Allergic asthma, 
☺ Seasonal allergies Animal allergy, 

☺ Allergy to mold.        

Anaphylaxis allergy:

• Anti  allergies drug or medicine:

• 
  
• Antihistamines block histamine release from mast cells, reducing symptoms. Antihistamine tablets are used for this purpose. Antihistamine nasal and eye sprays can also be used. Intranasal corticosteroids nasal sprays (INCS) are very effective for the treatment,
• of moderate to severe allergic rhinitis (hay fever). Combination therapies (INCS and antihistamine) are used for the treatment of moderate to severe allergic rhinitis (hay fever)
•  and offer the combined advantages of both medications. Medicated eye drops - ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice. Adrenaline (epinephrine) - is used for first aid emergency treatment of life-threatening severe allergic reactions (anaphylaxis). Non-medicated treatments such as saline sprays are used for treating allergic rhinitis and sinusitis. Allergen immunotherapy (also known as desensitization) is a long-term treatment that changes the immune system's response to allergens. It involves the administration of regular, gradually increasing amounts of allergen extracts, by injections.
