In some cases, it is possible to offer desensitization to patients in order to help them return to a normal life.
“The number of adults suffering from an allergy is increasing by 1.5 to 2% per year. If we extend this curve, in 50 years, the whole population will be allergic”, observes Dr. Christian Recchia. Rhinitis, conjunctivitis, asthma, allergy designates the manifestation of certain organisms in the face of allergens. What are the origins? “It’s not just food. Allergies are also the origin of clothes. When you put on a new coat, you have to wash it. Air pollutants are the main allergic. Environmental pollutants such as perfumes or make-up. The major element is the global environmental pollution which generates catastrophic air pollutants“, adds Dr. Recchia. In the event of the appearance of certain symptoms, it is recommended to quickly consult a health professional in order to identify the allergen in question and to put in place an appropriate treatment.
To relieve the inconvenience associated with allergies, certain drugs may be offered such as antihistamines, corticosteroids for their anti-inflammatory action and adrenaline by injection as an emergency treatment in the event of anaphylactic shock. But be careful, however, “cIt is not because corticosteroid therapy gives you relief that you should eat corticosteroid therapy like you eat pasta. Corticosteroid therapy taken in excess causes glaucoma, intestinal lesions, gastric lesions. Take corticosteroids in very small doses.“, summarizes Dr. Recchia.
Mites and pollens
In some cases, the avoidance of the allergen is possible. In other patients, desensitization may be proposed, for example in the case of an allergy to house dust mites or to certain pollens. “We find that among those with allergies, those who do physical activity, those who lower their stress level heal almost on their own when they have ousted the origin of the molecule that causes the allergy“, assure Dr Recchia.
