Allergies are a common immune system response to substances that are typically harmless. When a person with allergies is exposed to an allergen, such as pollen, pet dander, or certain foods, their immune system overreacts and produces an inflammatory response, resulting in symptoms such as sneezing, itching, hives, and difficulty breathing. Allergies can range from mild to severe and can interfere with daily activities. There are various types of allergies, including seasonal allergies, food allergies, and skin allergies. Treatment options include avoiding the allergen, medication, and allergy shots (immunotherapy).

If allergies are causing significant discomfort, pain, or interference with daily activities, seeking medical attention can help manage symptoms more effectively.
If allergies occur frequently, last for an extended period, or worsen over time, seeking medical attention can help identify the underlying cause and determine the most appropriate treatment plan.
For individuals with severe allergies, such as food allergies or bee sting allergies, seeking medical attention is critical in case of an anaphylactic reaction, which can be life-threatening and require immediate treatment. Medical professionals can prescribe emergency medication, such as an epinephrine auto-injector, and provide education on how to use it.
