Are you suffering from itchy or burning eyes, swollen eyelids, tearing or congestion due to allergies?

An allergy is an exaggerated, disproportionate reaction of the body's immune system to substances we commonly encounter - so-called. allergens. It is most often triggered by pollen from flowering plants or dust. It is one of the most common health problems of our time and the number of people affected by these disorders has been steadily increasing in recent years. Allergy sufferers are also a major risk group for asthma. Do men or women suffer more from allergies? This "battle" is very evenly matched. Women represent 55-56% of patients, men 44-45%. It cannot be said that one group or the other is overwhelmingly predominant. The most important influence on allergies is our lifestyle and the environment in which we move and spend our time. It is estimated that up to 50% of the population will have some form of allergy by 2025.
Conjunctivitis caused by allergens
Allergic conjunctivitis is manifested by itching and or burning of the eyes, swelling of the eyelids, tearing and congestion of the conjunctiva, and the affected person has significantly red eyes. In more severe cases, the cornea of the eye may also be affected. Allergic conjunctivitis is very often accompanied by allergic rhinitis.
The mainstay of treatment is symptom control with medication supplemented by individual allergy immunotherapy. It is important to limit contact with the allergen as far as possible! When treating allergy, it is recommended to choose antihistamines that selectively block only H1 receptors to avoid adverse effects due to the influence of other types of receptors in other tissues (e.g. known central nervous system depression with 1st generation antihistamines).

- You can protect yourself to some extent from flying pollen by wearing goggles with large lenses, gloves and a respirator.
- If you don't have to, postpone being outdoors until late afternoon, when the pollen concentration in the air is much lower than in the morning and morning.
- At the end of the day, always take a thorough shower and wash your hair to wash away pollen grains, and do not leave your clothes in the room where you sleep if possible.
