relapse allergies get worse?| Wed Aug 08 2018 16:52:28 GMT+0700 (WIB)

Allergies occur when the body recognizes a substance that is actually harmless but is considered dangerous, so the body refuses and secretes histamine which can cause certain reactions. This release of histamine can cause various reactions, such as itching, redness, swelling, and narrowing of the airways.

Allergic reactions occur when there are allergens (substances that cause allergies), so the only way to prevent them is to eliminate allergens. If the substance that causes the allergy is still there, then an allergic reaction can occur again. Antihistamine drugs, such as cetirizine, chlorpheniramine maleate, loratadine and others only treat the symptoms, not the cause.

To prevent this allergic reaction from happening, it is necessary to explore what causes allergies. Examples of allergens include:

• Substance to the air, such as dust, dust mites, powdered roaches, flower pollen, animal dander

• Foods, such as chocolate, flavorings, perfumes, eggs, nuts, and all other types of food

• Metal, for example iron, gold, aluminum, tin

• Certain ingredients such as latex

• Chemicals, for example in soap, lotions

There are many other allergens and are very individual. To make sure it is needed a skin test by a dermatologist. If indeed this allergy often recurs, Lilis should see a doctor to get further examination. To help with healing, Lilis can try to vacuum the room and bed, wash the curtains and dry them, and try to get enough room for sunlight and air.
