Your immune system plays a crucial role in defending your body against infections by producing antibodies. Sometimes, however, it mistakenly identifies harmless substances as threats, leading to the development of allergies.
Common allergens that may trigger this immune response include pollen, pet dander, and bee venom.
Allergy Symptoms
Allergies can manifest in various forms, and their severity can differ significantly from person to person. Since allergies affect different parts of the body, the symptoms vary depending on the type of allergy. Below are some examples:
Hay Fever (Allergic Rhinitis) Symptoms:
- Sneezing
- Itching of the nose, eyes, or roof of the mouth
- Runny or congested nose
- Conjunctivitis (red, watery eyes)
Food Allergy Symptoms:
- Tingling in the mouth
- Swelling of the face, lips, or throat
- Hives
- Anaphylaxis (a life-threatening reaction)
Insect Sting Allergy Symptoms:
- Swelling at the sting site
- Hives
- Coughing
- Chest tightness
- Shortness of breath
- Anaphylaxis
Drug Allergy Symptoms:

- Swelling of the face
- Wheezing
- Anaphylaxis
Common Allergy Triggers
Typical triggers include pollen, pet dander, dust mites, mold, and certain foods like peanuts, tree nuts, wheat, soy, fish, shellfish, eggs, and milk. Insect stings from bees or wasps can also provoke allergic reactions.
Allergy Treatment
Your healthcare provider will work with you to develop a personalized allergy treatment plan. This plan will include identifying your specific triggers and finding ways to avoid them. Treatment may also involve medication and immunotherapy to strengthen your immune system’s tolerance to allergens.
