TIPS FOR THE PREVENTION OF SEASONAL ALLERGY
With the arrival of spring and the flowering of trees and plants, many people may experience seasonal allergic reactions. Why does this happen and what can be prevented?
Pollinosis is a group of allergic diseases caused by plant pollen and characterized by acute inflammatory changes in the mucous membranes, mainly of the respiratory tract and eyes.
Plants begin to bloom from the beginning of spring, and finish at the end of autumn. Mid-April is the time for flowering: birch, alder, oak, poplar, elm, willow, maple, hazel, ash.
Any allergy is a reaction of the immune system to external stimuli. Among the prerequisites for the development of allergies, there are, in particular:
genetic predisposition;
chronic bronchopulmonary diseases;
Air Pollution;
passive smoking;
mold in the room;
the presence of other types of allergies.
Pollinosis usually manifests itself in different ways, people may experience: red eyes and watery eyes; runny nose, sneezing, itching and nasal congestion; shortness of breath, difficulty exhaling, rapid breathing, dry and exhausting cough.
