Allergy Season Calendar

At the start of the spring and summer seasons, much of the time we may be troubled with having allergies and this may sometimes be confused with end of the flu season sicknesses.  There are a number of ways to recognize common allergies and symptoms to help us differentiate between being sick with soething like flu and having an immediate allergic reaction.

It is quite important to know the difference because there is a big difference between an allergic reaction that is mild or one that is life threatening. You need to know which one you have.

Here is a list of some of the symptoms of allergic reactions:

• rashes
• itchy eyes and itchiness generally
• nasal congestion
• difficulty breathing
• cramps
• vomiting and dizziness.

whenever you notice that a rash has appeared on your body, the first thing to do is stop yourself from scratching if you can.  Scratching and irritating the rash will only spread it further and may even damage the skin and cause scarring.

Pieces of your skin cells can go into your nails everytime you scratch.  In this way some microscopic particles of the infected skin can spread to the rest of the body, wherever you touch your fingers and tis spreads the problem.

As soon as you notice a rash, it is advised to make an appointment with a dermatologist.  A dermatologist is a skin specialist who can provide you with more detailed information than your primary physician. They might as well provide you with lts of prevention advice and even an allergy season calendar as your guide.

Normal symptoms of mild allergies includes itchy eyes.  As with the rash – don’t rub them. Scratching your burning eyes increases the risk of having damage on the key parts. Itchy eye condition is best avoided by taking an allergy medication. One thing to know when you have itchy eyes, it most likely means you have an allergy and not the flu.

If you experience the discomfort of intense nasal congestion, a nasal spray will help to deal with the allergens in your sinuses. A runny nose is best cured when you blow it out of your body. Sniffing will involve bringing the mucus buildup that you had in your nose back into your body and putting it in your throat. This will cause you a sore throat and inflamed nasal cavities. It might be a good idea to try wearing an allergy mask to make you better.

Experiencing any of these aforementioned symptoms combined with difficulty in breathing, cramps, vomiting, or dizziness means you are best advised to seek the immediate attention of a medical practitioner.

These additional indicators are signs of a potential fatal allergic reaction.  The last thing you want to do is to think that what you’re experiencing is a small allergic reaction when in fact it is a deadly, prophylactic one.

If you’re still wondering whether or not what you are experiencing is viral or is the result of an allergic reaction, check with your local doctor.  Recognizing what causes allergies and your allergy symptoms are a key factor in keeping your health and keeping your body away from potentially deadly risks.
