There are many different types of allergies, so learn to distinguish between them!
ORAL AND RESPIRATORY ALLERGIES
Asthma is an inflammation of the lungs that causes breathing difficulties, shortness of breath on exertion and coughing. The bronchial tubes contract and tighten, preventing air from circulating properly. Allergens are responsible for asthma disorders, which can be exacerbated by smoking, intense exertion or the environment. Rhinitis has a similar pathogenesis; it is an inflammation of the nasal mucosa that affects the bronchi. The triggers are similar to those for asthma, and rhinitis can aggravate chronic asthma. With effective treatment, it is possible to regain a high quality of life.
ALLERGIES TO FOOD AND INSECT BITES
Allergies caused by certain foods and Hymenoptera (wasps, bees, hornets, ants) are responsible for a variety of reactions, ranging from mild (redness, swelling, etc.) to serious (acute respiratory problems and anaphylactic shock, leading to death). Allergies caused by certain foods are different from food intolerances.
DRUG ALLERGIES
Many drugs, such as antibiotics, aspirin and certain corticosteroids, are responsible for side effects and allergies.
