An allergy is when your immune system reacts to a substance that is usually harmless, like pollen, certain foods, or pet dander, causing symptoms such as sneezing, itching, or rashes.

🩺 Understanding Allergies

• Allergies happen because the body mistakenly treats a harmless substance as a threat.
• Common symptoms include sneezing, runny nose, skin rash, or swelling.
• Allergies can vary in severity from mild irritation to more serious reactions.

🩺 When to See a Doctor

• If allergy symptoms interfere with daily life or worsen over time.
• If you experience difficulty breathing, swelling of the face or throat, or severe reactions.
• A specialist doctor such as an allergist can help diagnose and manage allergies effectively.
