The Allergy

Allergies occur when the immune system overreacts to harmless substances like pollen, dust, food, or medications, causing mild to severe reactions.

Diagnosis

Allergy testing helps identify triggers like pollen, food, or pet dander through skin or blood tests, enabling accurate diagnosis and effective treatment.

Treatment

Allergy treatment includes avoiding triggers, medications for symptom relief, and immunotherapy to reduce sensitivity and improve long-term control.
