Allergy Symptoms
Normally, your immune system goes into action to fight the kinds of germs that cause diseases like colds and flu, producing antibodies that neutralize viruses and bacteria. However, with allergies, the immune system misidentifies a harmless substance as an invader—such as pollen, pet dander, or dirt—and generates antibodies. You may experience the following symptoms as a result:
- Sneezing
- Itchiness in the eyes, ears, or roof of the mouth
- Runny nose
- Eyes that are red, swollen, or watery
- Congestion
- Headache
- Coughing
- Shortness of breath
You may find an allergy IV drip effective if you suffer from seasonal allergies, also called hay fever or allergic rhinitis. Pollen, grasses, weeds, hay, and trees can all be potential allergens. And even though they’re called seasonal allergies, some people experience symptoms throughout the year.
