Treatment of advanced allergies. Treatment of allergies in adults

In childhood, food allergies often occur due to the immaturity of the digestive system. Adults react to plant pollen, household dust, harmful working conditions, and more.

The disease is often manifested by a skin rash.

It is important to understand that the problem comes from within. If you use only external topical agents, the manifestations of allergies will temporarily go away. But the reason remains.

Therapy should be complex, and the treatment process takes place under the supervision of a physician.

An allergy occurs when the immune system reacts to a substance as if it were an aggressive object.

The main types of manifestations of an allergic rash

Atopic dermatitis

It is considered a childhood disease. Manifested as a result of an allergic reaction to food and surrounding objects (synthetic clothing, soft toys, household dust).

Hives

Occurs as a reaction to stimuli (chemical, physical).

Eczema

Complicated skin condition with untimely or improper treatment.

Toxicoderma

It develops as a result of the toxic action of chemicals.

Lyell and Stevens-Johnson Syndrome

Serious disease. It develops with intolerance to certain drugs. The development of necrosis of the epidermis is characteristic. Allergic manifestations on the skin are characterized by redness, rash, itching and swelling.

Causes of the disease and their elimination

Treatment of any type of allergy begins with identifying its cause.

For this, the medical history is studied, data on allergic diseases in the family are collected, blood tests are carried out, and skin tests are taken.

Rashes appear as a reaction to:

• Products. There are several degrees of food allergenicity. More often there is a reaction to honey, nuts, citrus fruits, chocolate, some types of fish.
• Animal fur.
• Insect bites.
• Plants. Indoor flowers are less likely to cause a reaction. Of the street allergenic are ragweed, poplar (down), quinoa and others during the flowering period.
• Chemical substances. Household chemicals, medicines, dyes, fragrances and much more. Often occurs in people who work in hazardous industries.
• Dust.
• Construction Materials.

In addition to the above, there is physical allergy(for cold, heat, friction, vibration, and so on).

Against the backdrop of stress people develop blisters, spots or redness of the skin - this is an allergic reaction to stress hormones.

The basis of successful treatment is the identification and elimination of the triggering factor

Food allergies require elimination of the allergen from the diet.

In the chemical - a change of place of work or the use of reliable protective equipment when working with chemicals.

People who are allergic to wool do not want to keep pets at home. Or choose breeds that do not cause a reaction.

If you are allergic to pollen, you need to use antihistamines during the flowering period of the plant.

With physical allergies - protect the skin from an irritating factor.

General recommendations: lead a healthy lifestyle, give up bad habits, wash your hands and face after contact with the allergen, rinse the nasal mucosa. Often carry out wet cleaning in the house. Take care of your skin health.

Medical treatment

Medicines for allergies are selected by a doctor.

Treatment regimen in each case individual and depends on the severity and cause of the disease.

In most cases, allergies are a chronic disease, but with adequate treatment, long periods of remission can be achieved.

In addition to immunity, the development of allergies is affected by the work of the liver. If the body cannot cope with the elimination of toxins, a reaction occurs. And not only the skin is covered with a rash, but also the internal organs - this is how the body signals a problem.

It is not the external manifestation that needs to be treated, but the disease.

Antihistamines

Histamine- a hormone that regulates vital processes in the body. One of the important steps is protective. Provides blood flow to the damaged area.

In the normal state, it is inactive, but when an allergen enters, injuries, stress, toxic poisoning, histamine is activated, its amount increases. In the free state, it causes spasm, decreased pressure, edema, blood stasis, increased heart rate, blood stasis, skin rash, itching.

Antihistamines block the release of histamine.

There are three generations of drugs:

First

First-generation drugs quickly eliminate the allergic reaction. But they cause drowsiness. In most cases, they give a short-term effect.

These include: Tavegil, Diazolin, Allregin, Suprastin, Chlorphenamine, Dimedrol.

Second

Second-generation drugs are slowly absorbed, but give a long-lasting effect. They do not have a sedative effect, but cause a violation of the heart rhythm.

These include: Loratadine, Claritin, Tinset, Allergodil, Cetirizine, Alesion, Fenistil, Ceratadin, Terfenadine.

Third

Third generation drugs are developed on the basis of first and second generation drugs - they are products of their metabolism. Substances in preparations are more purified.

The latest generation means practically do not cause side effects and have a long-term effect. One dose is enough for a day.

These include: Levocetirizine, Desloratadine, Karebastin.

Sedative drugs

Stressful situations affect the state of the whole organism. As a result of prolonged nervous experiences, immunity decreases - the number of immune cells decreases. Stress does not cause disease, but is a favorable factor for the development of allergies.

If necessary, sedatives are prescribed. The choice of drug and dose depend on the patient's condition. There are different types of sedatives:

• Herbal monocomponent preparations. They have a mild sedative effect. Popular products based on valerian, motherwort, St. John's wort, mint.
• Preparations from several types of plants. Valemidin (valerian, hawthorn, motherwort, mint), Persen (melissa, valerian, mint), Novo-passit (St. John's wort, lemon balm, hawthorn).
• Means based on phenobarbital. Valocordin, Corvalol - vasodilating drugs, have an antispasmodic and pronounced sedative effect.
• Drugs that make up for the lack of any element in the body. For example, a common cause of nervous overexcitation is a lack of magnesium. Magne-B6, Magnelis B6, Glycine, Vitamin C.
• Antidepressants. In severe cases, doctors prescribe potent drugs: Proriptyline, Desipramine, Clomipramine, Amitriptyline and others.
• Tranquilizers.

Herbal preparations give a good effect with a long course of treatment. The substance must accumulate in the body.

Treatment will be effective only after the cause of stress has been eliminated. The drug must be selected with the attending physician. Many sedative drugs affect the reaction rate and cannot be used when working with mechanisms.

Sorbents

In the treatment of allergies, sorbents are important along with antihistamines. Substances collect and remove toxins that are formed in the body under the action of allergens. Take sorbents in the acute period and for prevention.

Allergy action:

• Absorb allergens in the gastrointestinal tract;
• bind toxins, prevent intoxication;
• remove toxic substances from the body;
• reduce the burden on the kidneys and liver;
• prevent dysbacteriosis;
• improve blood supply to organs and regeneration of damaged tissues.

By origin, sorbents are divided into synthetic (Enterosgel) and natural (activated carbon, Atoxil, Smecta, Polyphepan, Polysorb).

The drug, dose and duration of treatment is determined by the doctor. The general rule for taking sorbents is to take them between meals. 2 hours before or 2 hours after meals. To drink a lot of water. Do not combine with other drugs - sorbents remove some of the substances and reduce the effect of the drug.

Hormonal drugs

Hormonal drugs quickly and effectively relieve allergy symptoms. The action is based on the suppression of the production of antibodies to allergens. An unpleasant feature of such funds is the addiction of the body. As a result, it is constantly required to increase the dose. Use hormones topically and orally should be dosed and strictly according to the doctor's prescription. After the use of hormonal ointments, non-hormonal agents become ineffective. Therefore, hormones are shown in short courses to relieve the severity of the disease. If you need long-term use, you need to alternate different hormonal agents.

In the treatment of allergic rashes, local hormonal ointments are more often used. But in serious conditions, oral or injectable steroids are possible.

More commonly used: Hydrocortisone, Prednisolone, Afloderm, Fluorocort, Fusiderm, Dermovate, Sinalar.

Local treatment of allergic rashes

Non-hormonal ointments are used to treat rashes of small localization and during the recovery period after the use of hormonal agents. The most commonly used ointments and gels include:

• Antipruritic. Fenistil, Psilo-balm.
• Antibacterial ointments. Levomekol, Fucidin, Levosin, Zinc ointment.
• Means that enhance skin regeneration. Radevit, Actovegin, Solcoseryl.
• Healing and protective products based on panthenol. Bepanthen, Pantestin.
• Softening and moisturizing ointments. Means based on lanolin.

Apply compresses and lotions with calendula, oak bark, propolis and other herbal medicines. In addition, solutions are used: Dimexide, Delaskin and others.

Antibiotics

Infections weaken the immune system and can catalyze an allergic reaction. If, against the background of allergies, foci of chronic infection (including caries, diseases of the ENT organs, skin diseases) are detected, you need to undergo a course of antibiotic treatment.

With caution, you should select an antibacterial agent so as not to aggravate the allergy.

Immunity stimulants

Immune failures provoke the development of allergic reactions. To increase immunity, procedures for general strengthening of the body (hardening, a healthy lifestyle) and the use of immunomodulators are shown.

Vitamin complexes

The normal balance of vitamins and minerals with allergies is disturbed. Its restoration requires the reception of specialized complexes. But due to the abundance of dyes, flavors, flavors and a large number of trace elements in the composition, these drugs can exacerbate an allergic reaction. It is necessary to select a hypoallergenic complex preparation. It is advisable to take a remedy with a small composition of vitamins in small portions. Give preference to vitamins that need to be taken 3 times a day, and not once.

Vitamin deficiency and excess are harmful. A feature of vitamin preparations is that they increase the risk of allergy to antibiotics and vice versa. It is not recommended to combine the intake of antibacterial drugs with vitamin complexes.

Physiotherapy

Physiotherapy procedures stimulate recovery processes in the body. Cannot be used during an exacerbation. In children, the effect of physiotherapy is more pronounced than in adults.

Apply electrophoresis with drugs, phonophoresis and ultraviolet irradiation. The expediency of physiotherapy is determined in each case individually.

An effective method of treating allergies is a speleocamera. That is the salt room.

Sea and mud baths

Sea water is rich in minerals. In addition, saline solutions relieve swelling. With allergies, it is useful to swim in sea water. At home, you can add sea salt to the bath. Such procedures heal the skin. Enhance healing, have an antibacterial effect.

Mud treatment is also indicated for allergies. The mud acts like a massage: it enhances blood circulation and metabolism, promotes the removal of toxins from the body, eliminates blood and lymph stagnation, and enriches the skin with microelements.

Paraffin applications

With paraffin compresses, blood flow increases, blood vessels and capillaries expand. Paraffin has an anti-inflammatory effect, reduces swelling, eliminates spasm and restores tissues.

Paraffin therapy is used in the treatment of neurodermatitis.

Folk remedies

The choice of traditional medicine for the treatment of allergies is very large. Do not use many recipes at once. It is better to choose proven ones and consult with doctors first. The effect of folk remedies is higher when combined with drug therapy. It is important to understand that with a tendency to allergies, medicinal herbs in folk recipes can worsen the condition. Start taking small amounts and monitor the reaction of the body.

Popular oral medications:

• Natural juices normalize metabolism. Fresh juices from celery, carrots, potatoes, cucumbers, and beets are used.
• A decoction of spruce cones and buds.
• Infusion of nettle flowers.
• Collection of sage, nettle, wormwood, St. John's wort, yarrow, plantain, centaury, horsetail and juniper.
• Decoction and infusion of rose hips.
• A decoction of celandine.
• Zabrus is a substance with which bees seal honeycombs. Helps with many diseases.
• Propolis.
• Mummy.

External means of traditional medicine for allergic rash:

• Baths and lotions with decoctions of string, chamomile, bay leaf.
• Lubricate the rash with sea buckthorn oil.
• Infusion of Jerusalem artichoke leaves for wiping rash areas.
• Compresses on the affected areas with black tea, sage, chamomile, string. They are also used for rashes on the face.
• Wipe the rashes with diluted alcohol or vodka.
• Ointment from tar and vaseline.

Diet

In the treatment of allergies, it is important to follow the principles of proper nutrition, to exclude allergenic foods. Reduce consumption of products that contain a large number of additives.

Exclude from the diet: alcohol, citrus fruits, nuts, honey, eggs, fish, chocolate, spices, chicken meat, coffee, tomatoes, sweets, mushrooms.

It is useful to use: soups with lean meat, cereals, potatoes, dairy products, herbs, baked apples, fresh green vegetables.

Features of the treatment of allergic rashes in children

Allergies in children often manifest themselves between the ages of 2 and 6 years. Associated with the immaturity of body systems. The disease will pass without a trace as you grow up, while following a diet, avoiding contact with the allergen, timely and competent treatment of exacerbations.

The selection of a therapeutic regimen is performed by an allergist. In childhood, you need to be extremely careful in choosing medicines. To do no harm.

Children often have a skin infection. Due to scratching of rashes and the formation of wounds - ways for the penetration of bacteria.

When an allergy occurs in a child, you can not expect it to go away on its own. You need to identify the allergen as soon as possible. The earlier treatment is started, the higher the chance of a successful outcome.

Food allergies to milk, some fruits and berries, nuts, chocolate, and fish are more common.

Features of the treatment of adults

In adults, a large number of factors that increase the risk of allergies: medication, bad habits, stress, harmful working conditions.

It is important to identify and eliminate the cause. Unfortunately, allergies in adults are chronic. Treatment consists in preventing exacerbations and prolonging periods of remission.

Prevention

A healthy lifestyle is the best allergy prevention. Nutrition should be correct and varied. Lifestyle - active. Do not abuse harmful foods and alcohol. Protect the body from exposure to chemicals. If necessary, work with chemicals, poisons, heavy metals - use protective equipment.

For babies, it is important not to rush with complementary foods, not to introduce foods that are not age-appropriate. It is good for children and adults to eat food that is typical for the area where they live.

Allergies often manifest as skin rashes. Treatment must be comprehensive. Start by identifying and eliminating the cause of the disease. The intake of antihistamines, sedatives, vitamins, sorbents, immunomodulators is shown. Physiotherapy is applied. Additionally, traditional medicine is used. An important factor in treatment is diet and a healthy lifestyle. You should not self-medicate. The treatment regimen is selected by the allergist individually.

The main danger of the disease is that you may not know about the factor provoking seizures or simply not notice mild symptoms.

A large number of causes and factors can affect the occurrence of allergic reactions.

Symptoms and treatment methods depend on what caused the disease.

Possible reasons

Improper nutrition and an unhealthy lifestyle at some stage provoke a spontaneous manifestation of a malfunction in the body in the form of an allergic reaction. It can arise from overeating refined foods with a set of chemical additives or provoked by emotional or psychological stress.

Allergens are substances of a glycoprotein or protein nature that cause an allergic reaction in the body. They can be wool, food, medicines, washing powders, household dust and any other substances.

Allergens inevitably have to be in contact every day, more than a hundred times a day - when eating. A healthy immune system is able to withstand such provocations.

The risk of allergic manifestations will inevitably increase such factors as:

• binge eating,
• gallbladder disease,
• gastritis,
• liver disease,
• failures in the normal functioning of the intestines.

Acute allergic reaction body with vomiting, dysbacteriosis and other problems of the digestive system, when allergens enter directly into the bloodstream, it is manifested by reddening of the skin and other manifestations up to anaphylactic shock.

It is impossible not to note one of the important causes of allergic manifestations - the ecology of the environment, which directly affects the state of human health.

Chemicals, which can be an integral part of professional activity, can provoke permanent allergic reactions in the body.

Varieties and symptoms

Allergy manifests itself depending on the form of the disease and the location of the focus of the disease:

• dermatosis is marked by dryness, peeling and redness of the skin, swelling, itching and blisters,
• conjunctivitis in the form of tearing, burning, swelling of the eyelids,
• respiratory signs in the form of sneezing, runny nose (how to treat a runny nose in children with aloe, read the article), wheezing and coughing (read about home remedies for treating cough in children), shortness of breath and itchy nose,
• enteropathy in the form of swelling of the pharynx and tongue, nausea, vomiting, or constipation,
• anaphylactic shock looks like sudden vomiting, shortness of breath, convulsions, involuntary defecation or urination, loss of consciousness.

The complex treatment of folk remedies for allergies includes the following methods:

• Strengthening immunity, saturation of the gastrointestinal tract with beneficial microflora through the use of fermented milk products.
• A diet that includes breakfast of an apple and porridge on the water, replacing table salt with sea salt, minimizing yeast bread in the diet, drinking fresh juices and avoiding coffee and black tea.
• It is necessary to cleanse the intestines with activated charcoal in the first week and juice in the second.

It must be remembered that the treatment of folk remedies for allergies should be carried out with extreme caution, because medicinal plants can also become the strongest allergens, aggravating the condition. To avoid such a reaction, you must strictly observe the dosage when taking.

Traditional medicine recipes

Many methods and means of treatment have been invented and tested. Here are the tested and most effective of them.

• Mummy very popular in the treatment of allergic manifestations. One gram is diluted in half a glass of water and lubricated with a rash on the skin and taken orally in a reduced concentration. A tablespoon of the solution in half a glass of water is taken in the morning for three weeks. Shilajit can be added to honey or milk and taken in the morning and evening. You can gargle with a solution of mummy throat and rinse your nose.
• eggshell powder take after a meal a quarter teaspoon with two drops of lemon juice. Such a remedy will negate rashes and other reactions.
• Honeycomb chew for 15 minutes twice a day or more often if symptoms worsen. Six months of such treatment can reduce the disease to zero.
• Four onions crushed, pour a liter of water, insist for 12 hours and drink water per day.
• Lentils, or rather, half a kilogram of lentil straw or a glass of lentil grains, you need to boil in a three-liter saucepan with water for 15 minutes, pour the decoction into the bath and lie down in it for half an hour. You can enhance the effect by adding pine broth and eating lentil dishes.
• Golden mustache in the form of a tincture, it will save you from attacks of suffocation. You need to take it in a tablespoon an hour before each meal.
• Celery used in the form of juice from the roots and leaves - half an hour before meals, take a tablespoon 3 times a day.
• Garlic chop, wrap the gruel in gauze, rub along the spine at night for a week.
• Bay leaf- an excellent tool. It is used internally as a decoction and externally as a tincture or oil.
• Dandelion juice obtained from the leaves of the plant. For treatment, it is diluted in half with water and taken a tablespoon 20 minutes before breakfast and lunch.
• Activated carbon crush at the rate of one tablet per kilogram and drink every morning. You need to take the drug for several months.

According to confident forecasts of physicians, very little time is left before the moment when nine out of ten people will suffer from some kind of allergy. Moreover, allergy sufferers themselves are to blame for this, when they self-medicate and provoke the development of new diseases, expanding the list of allergens dangerous for the body.

As a pathological state of immunity, with improper treatment, allergies quickly develop bronchial asthma.

Fans of self-prescribing widely advertised drugs should know that all vasoconstrictor drugs and sprays directly affect the heart and brain. On tomography of the brain of "naphthyzine-dependent" patients, not only vasospasms can be observed, but also atrophy of certain parts of the brain.

Preventive measures

To prevent the disease, you need to perform some simple measures:

• Maintaining cleanliness and order, daily cleaning is the main condition for prevention.
• Books must be kept in closed cabinets.
• Periodic cleaning of pillows, blankets, soft toys and washing of curtains.
• Sleep only on natural fabrics and do not wear synthetic clothing.
• Any animals and birds, even fish in an aquarium, can cause allergic reactions.
• If animals cannot be abandoned, it is necessary to regularly comb and bathe a cat or dog.
• Grow in the apartment only plants that do not emit aromas.

It is necessary to adhere to a hypoallergenic diet, excluding orange and red foods, nuts, honey, citrus fruits, sweets from the menu. You will have to reduce the amount of sugar so as not to exacerbate allergic manifestations.

Allergies can be triggered by milk, eggs, pastries, honey, nuts, spicy or fatty foods, which would be nice to exclude or at least reduce to a minimum. For some, sneezing, coughing and itching appear even on young potatoes during cleaning.

To defeat the disease you need. To do this, you need to play sports, do not violate the regime of the day and harden. Even a rare allergy to cold is overcome by proper hardening of the body.

With manifestations of pollinosis, remove indoor flowers from the house, especially smelling ones. Naturally, smelling flowers and bringing bouquets home is prohibited.

It is more difficult for patients with allergies to book dust and house mites, which cannot be eliminated. Therefore, they especially need daily wet cleaning. Patients should not shake out carpets, vacuum and clean the vacuum cleaner.

Choosing the treatment of allergies with folk methods, you need first of all, pay attention to the recommendations of doctors. For treatment in pharmacies, there are special herbal preparations to combat the causes and symptoms of allergies.

Thus, the successful treatment of allergic reactions with the help of folk recipes is possible only in combination with the use of drugs prescribed by a doctor, and the exclusion of the allergen from life.

Can allergies be cured?

A huge number of people suffer from allergies. The word "allergy" itself consists of two parts - allos and ergon, and translated from Greek means "I do it differently." If there are malfunctions in the immune system, then even the most harmless substances entering the body are perceived as dangerous. The defense mechanism is launched, which manifests itself in the form of allergy symptoms - sneezing, coughing, tearing, nasal congestion, runny nose, itching, sometimes skin rashes, and in severe cases, bronchial asthma, Quincke's edema and even anaphylactic shock. How to escape from this scourge and whether it is possible to recover from it is a task for many specialists in the field of medicine.

1. Immunotherapy.
2. Medical way.
3. Means of traditional medicine.
4. Diet food.

Before proceeding

Can allergies be cured?

How is a respiratory allergy different from a food allergy? Why allergies have different manifestations: someone has urticaria. Does anyone have breathing problems? And can allergies be cured at all?

Sergei Yursky. Moscow.

Evgeny ZASLAVSKY, allergist, doctor of the highest category:

- Allergic symptoms in the respiratory tract - including bronchial asthma - are most often caused by mold spores and pet excretions (saliva, dander).

By the way, mold fungi actively multiply in damp rooms, air conditioners that are not regularly cleaned, food stored in plastic bags.

And then there's food allergies. which has skin manifestations, is more characteristic of children. Often softens with age. But a grown-up "diathesist" has a high probability of displaying some other type of allergy.

It is impossible to cure "permanently" allergies. The only way is to completely avoid contact with the allergen. But, alas, in most cases it is almost impossible. Although now medicine has achieved in order to preserve the "quality of life" for allergy sufferers. The main thing is to be examined in time, to identify the spectrum of those allergens to which you react, and to choose a drug. New generation antihistamines (for example, fexadine, telfast, kestin) do not cause drowsiness, they act pointwise, eliminating allergic symptoms and not causing addiction.

Can asthma go away on its own?

I heard that bronchial asthma in children sometimes goes away on its own. Is it possible to hope for this or will I have to take medication for the rest of my life?

Olga Kryukova. Saratov.

Yuri SMOLKIN, Director of the Children's Medical Center, Vice President of the Association of Children's Allergists and Immunologists of Russia:

- In children with asthma, the so-called "spontaneous desensitization" can indeed occur.

This is the reverse development of the disease, when for some reason it disappears. This can happen during the formation of the immune system. The body itself builds immune defenses against allergens and stops responding to them or reacts more weakly.

But for this to happen, you have to work hard. As a rule, spontaneous desensitization occurs if the place of residence of the child changes, the nature of the diet, if possible, contact with the allergen is not allowed, and a calm psychological environment is created. With a favorable combination of all circumstances, childhood asthma can go away forever.

But the problem is that an allergic child carries genes that are responsible for the production of certain antibodies (reactions to an allergen). So in case of breakdowns of the immune system, for example, after a severe infectious disease or severe stress,

the disease may return.

Having developed in adulthood, bronchial asthma can no longer go away on its own. And, even if there are no pronounced attacks, you need to be observed by an allergist at least once every 1-2 years.

Hair fall out? Boost your immunity!

In the spring I caught a bad cold, I was sick for a long time. After that, my hair fell out.

Olga S. Volokolamsk.

Elena ILCHENKO, dermatologist-trichologist:

- The reason that the hair "fell down" is often the transferred inflammatory diseases - the flu. SARS, bronchitis. The general condition of the body is weakened, the hair follicles are also weakening. All the forces of the body are thrown into the fight against infection, and the hair simply "does not get" useful substances.

The average life of a hair is 2 years. Normally, we can lose up to 100 hairs per day (provided that the same number then grows). If you've had the flu,

after which for three weeks your hair is desperately “climbing”, this does not mean that your hair is in danger. It is necessary to strengthen the immune system and help the hair recover with the help of nourishing masks.

But if after a month, despite all the rubbing and poultices, you are losing your hair even more than before, go to the specialists. As practice often shows, hair problems are the external manifestation of a major disorder in the body. Perhaps this is a signal that the “banal” flu has given a complication, you have not recovered properly and a “wandering” infection has begun to roam the body. Immunity could also be planted with potent drugs, such as antibiotics.

In this case, one of the methods of immunocorrection can help to cope with the infection and increase the body's defenses.

How to get rid of allergies forever?

To date, there has not yet been developed a method by which you can get rid of allergies forever. However, the use of specific immunotherapy increases the chance of a complete recovery. Together with preventive measures and course intake of antihistamines, you can forget about allergies for several years.

Methods for eliminating an allergic reaction

There are two main ways to treat the disease. These include:

• symptomatic therapy;
• specific immunotherapy for ASIT.

Symptomatic treatment is advisable to carry out during an acute attack of an allergic reaction. In some cases, therapy is acceptable in the chronic course of the disease. Antihistamines help relieve allergy symptoms. These include Zirtek, Tavegil, Lomilan and Telfast.

Their action is aimed at stopping the production of histamine and eliminating the main symptoms of allergies.

Symptomatic therapy is used as an emergency in the acute development of a negative clinical picture.

After the removal of dangerous symptoms, the patient's treatment is stopped.

Symptomatic therapy does not completely eliminate the disease, but only has a supporting effect until a second attack.

Specific immunotherapy is characterized by long-term results. Before the start of treatment, a potentially dangerous allergen is detected, which will subsequently be introduced into the body in small doses. A gradual increase in the amount of a harmful substance will lead to addiction of the immune system.

As a result, a person will be able to recover and respond normally to previously dangerous allergens.

ASIT shows how to cure allergies forever without resorting to medications. However, specialists cannot give a 100% guarantee. This is due to the peculiarities of the course of the disease and the human body.

As an adjuvant therapy can be carried out:

The action of these techniques is aimed at strengthening the protective functions of the body. Indeed, in most cases, allergies occur due to a weakened immune system.

Strengthening the immune system reduces the risk of re-development of the disease

Is it possible to cure allergies by influencing the immune system? Modern techniques can strengthen the protective functions and thereby reduce the risk of recurrence of the disease. The immunorehabilitation program includes:

• stabilization of the functions of the immune system;
• restoration and strengthening of immunity;
• increasing the body's resistance to potentially hazardous products and substances;
• recovery after severe illness.

To achieve these goals, experts have developed effective programs aimed at strengthening immunity.

The standard recovery course includes:

• EHF-therapy;
• MIRT therapy;
• speleotherapy;
• homeopathic preparations;
• adherence to a special diet, taking into account the characteristics of the human body;
• massotherapy.

All the above methods will show how to cure allergies and gain good health. To achieve the optimal therapeutic effect, it is advisable to undergo several recovery courses. The treatment process is long. A competent effect on the immune system will allow you to get rid of not only allergies, but also concomitant diseases.

Some myths about eliminating an allergic reaction

There are several common "facts" of allergy treatment.

Myth #1. Long-term medication will allow you to get rid of an allergic reaction once and for all. In fact, the use of even the best drugs will not eliminate the disease. Antihistamines are aimed at stopping the acute phase of allergies. Medicines are not able to completely get rid of repeated attacks.

Myth #2. An expensive drug is the key to quick treatment. To date, there are several generations of antihistamines. Naturally, the latest developments are distinguished by a wider range of action and high cost. But this fact does not allow them to eliminate allergies. Antihistamines, like other drugs, relieve acute manifestations of the disease. Therefore, the rule “the more expensive the better” does not work in this case.

Myth #3. Can allergies be permanently cured through blood purification? Even this method does not allow you to get a 100% result. Purification of blood for allergies is based on the removal of harmful components from the body. For maximum effect, the procedure must be carried out constantly, which can harm the immune system.

Myth number 4. It is almost impossible to recover completely. This statement is only partially correct. The modern method of specific immunotherapy gives hope for many years of life without allergies. The course of therapy is long and expensive, so not many people go through it completely. But if there is a small chance of a full recovery, you need to use it. Allergies need to be dealt with as soon as possible. The first manifestations of the disease are easily stopped.

Myth number 5. Allergies can be passed down from generation to generation. This is not true. At the genetic level, only a predisposition to an allergic reaction can be transmitted. If the expectant mother suffers from allergies, it is recommended that she undergo a course of specific therapy before pregnancy. This will prevent further development of the disease.

Elimination of allergies: 7 easy ways

Compliance with simple rules will allow you to remove allergies in both an adult and a child.

Rule number 1. You need to constantly wash your hair and take a shower. This will wash off particles of allergens from the skin and alleviate the general condition.

Rule number 2. Less stress, more healthy lifestyle. Experts have proven that constant nervous experiences contribute to the development of many diseases.

Rule number 3. Proper cleaning of the nose will show how to quickly get rid of allergies. There can be many small harmful components in the nasal passages. To prevent their contact with the mucous membranes, it is necessary to constantly rinse the nose with ordinary boiled water. It is advisable to do this after walking along the street.

Rule number 4. Boiling bed linen removes all bacteria and dangerous microorganisms from its surface. Standard washing is not able to defeat mites, pollen and other common allergens.

Rule number 5. Systematic wet cleaning eliminates excessive accumulation of dust, thereby preventing the development of an allergic reaction.

Rule number 6. Introduction to acupuncture. According to recent studies, oriental medicine has a positive effect on the body.

Rule number 7. Humidification and air purification in the apartment eliminate harmful substances and prevent their spread.

How to prevent an allergic reaction yourself

How to get rid of allergies forever will prompt a few basic techniques. They are not based on medications or other treatments. A person is able to prevent the development of the disease on his own.

After visiting the street, it is recommended to dry your feet thoroughly. Potentially dangerous allergens can stick to shoes and clothing. Bringing them into an apartment can lead to the development of allergies in all households. Air humidification prevents microorganisms from multiplying and spreading. A favorable environment for them is excessive dryness.

The use of electrostatic filters and electronic systems contribute to air purification.

During an acute attack of an allergic reaction, antihistamines should be used. They will eliminate symptoms such as itching, burning, inflammation, swelling and even anaphylaxis. It is not recommended to use drugs on your own.

During the flowering period, it is advisable not to open the windows; the apartment should be ventilated at night or at high humidity.

Before going to bed, it is advisable to inspect the bed for the presence of feathers and dust. It is advisable to use hypoallergenic materials.

A proper and balanced diet is the key to successful strengthening of the body. To achieve this effect, you need to consume vitamin C daily, it is a powerful antioxidant. Its action is aimed at thinning the blood. Vitamin C should be consumed during sports to improve blood flow.

The use of magnesium helps to strengthen the protective functions of the body. The trace element relaxes the muscles and makes breathing easier.

Eating pineapples allows you to break down milk and gluten proteins, which helps prevent an allergic reaction.

It is advisable to include omega-3 fatty acids in the diet. They strengthen cell membranes and block the production of histamine. To make up for the deficiency of the component, herring, walnuts and sardines should be consumed.

These methods show how you can defeat allergies at home.

What to do if the allergy does not go away?

You are tormented by sneezing, coughing, itching, rashes and redness of the skin, or maybe your allergies are even more serious. And the isolation of the allergen is unpleasant or even impossible.

In addition, allergies lead to diseases such as asthma, urticaria, dermatitis. And the recommended medicines for some reason are not effective in your case and do not fight the cause in any way ...

How to get rid of allergies ... forever

The question that interests a large number of the inhabitants of the planet - "How to get rid of allergies?" Both dubious and effective methods of treatment are given.

Allergy is one of the most widespread diseases of our time. According to statistics, in 10 of your acquaintances there is at least one person suffering from one form or another of it. The situation is aggravated by the possibility of transmission of allergies by inheritance, which is confirmed by modern medicine.

Being essentially a form of immune response to a threat (which in this case is false), allergies are difficult to treat with medication. Many drugs are able to stop her symptoms up to their complete invisibility, but this effect is “superficial”, and pharmaceuticals that can cure allergies forever have not yet been created.

Surely more than one allergic person wondered how to get rid of an allergy so that it would not return again, is this idea real at all? Yes. But you need to understand that this is not a matter of two days or weeks. To achieve this goal, the well-coordinated work of the allergist and the patient, strict adherence to the instructions of the specialist are necessary. The task is difficult, but doable.

How to cure allergies permanently? Answers to this question are offered by both traditional medicine and folk medicine.

But first things first. First, consider methods that are extremely doubtful and not recommended for use.

When even hope is misplaced

These words refer to methods that not only will not cure allergies permanently, but are potentially harmful to the practitioner, or at least stupid and completely useless from a medical point of view.

Folk remedies

How to get rid of allergies folk remedies? Forever - nothing. Methods in this category are not unambiguously useless; there are times when they intersect with the scientific approach and, therefore, can have the same effect as proven drugs.

Most folk recipes are symptomatic therapy. The most effective of them are tips on how to get rid of allergies on the face and body - from skin manifestations. However, even if the symptoms are relieved, the cause of the allergy will not be eliminated.

However, given that the vast majority of folk recipes are nothing more than the result of the imagination (or lack of knowledge) of those who come up with them, their place in this section.

• production of decoctions, tinctures and infusions;
• bathing;
• lotions;
• making ointments at home.

Many “natural medicines” do have positive anti-allergic properties (for example, string, bay leaf, chamomile as an excellent anti-inflammatory drug), but all these are remedies that relieve symptoms, but do not get rid of allergies forever.

Alternative medicine

This category of funds is not much different from the treatment of folk remedies, except that it is “served under a different sauce” and usually implies a good payment for the services of the so-called “healers”.

Every allergy sufferer should remember that neither homeopathy nor some sticking of needles in different places can cure your allergy forever.

As for acupuncture, as already mentioned, it does not cure allergies. But a mistake in acupuncture can lead to nerve damage, which, in turn, leads to a deterioration in signal transmission, or to complete paralysis of one or another part of the body. Infections are also not uncommon.

Conspiracies will not answer the question of how to get rid of allergies to cats, dust, pollen, mold and any other. All these methods can only work in the placebo format - if a person firmly believes in his cure, it can come.

Sorbents and probiotics

How to get rid of food allergies, these remedies “do not know”. Despite the fact that sorbents are able to eliminate or weaken the manifestations of this disease, they are not able to cure it completely. Therefore, attempts at such treatment with their help are useless.

The use of sorbents makes sense only to eliminate symptoms in the acute phase of the disease, but it should be carried out only in combination with antihistamines.

In turn, the effectiveness of probiotics for allergies has not been proven at all to date, because their action is aimed at restoring the normal intestinal microflora. It makes sense to use them for maintenance therapy, but you can’t position these drugs as a cure for allergies.

First of all, it is worth distinguishing fasting from unloading and dietary therapy, researched and used in official medicine.

Fasting by non-traditional methods (Malakhov G. and other “fantastic writers” of this kind) can reasonably be attributed to “stupid” methods, regardless of the purpose for which it is used. Following such practices can do more harm than good.

In particular (and no matter how paradoxical it sounds), illiterate fasting leads to obesity and the intractable destruction of muscle mass, which, taken together, can lead to serious health consequences in general, in comparison with which any allergy will seem like something light and pleasant.

In the same time, adherence to a fasting diet has shown its effectiveness in some allergic diseases. This method is discussed in more detail in the section of the article on effective methods.

Immunity Boost

Stimulation of immunity in case of allergies is useless and can even aggravate the course of allergic reactions, since their intensity increases with increased activity of the immune system.

However, immunotherapy exists and is successfully used for allergies. The principles of its application differ from the usual uncontrolled stimulation of immunity, the details are discussed below.

In connection with all of the above, the answer to the question of how to get rid of allergies at home becomes obvious - no way.

Overview of good practices and tools

“Effective” refers to methods and approaches that show at least limited effectiveness and are not unproven at the same time. By studying such methods, you will learn how to cure allergies forever.

hardening

Hardening has long been well known as an effective way to improve health. This effect is achieved due to the impact on the body of adverse factors, which gradually leads to an increase in resistance to them, a decrease in stress responses, and has a general tonic beneficial effect.

With allergies, however, the scope of this method is very limited. Attention deserves mainly the feedback from patients and doctors about the use of hardening for the treatment of allergies to cold.

In such cases, hardening can completely eliminate the disease, but it should be borne in mind that the positive effect is achieved slowly (as the hardening effect itself manifests itself), therefore, at first, the use of antihistamines is indicated to instantly eliminate unpleasant symptoms, if the complexity of the course of allergies requires their use.

Diet in the treatment of allergies

Unloading diet therapy (RDT) has found application in medicine in the treatment of certain chronic diseases, including atopic dermatitis and asthma.

But despite the fact that the effectiveness of dietary therapy for allergies has been noted by practitioners, most often this method is used in addition to others. Caution is also required in application, since RDT can significantly suppress immunity, and with an illiterate approach, its use leads to the undesirable consequences mentioned in the previous part.

Accordingly, it is not recommended to use this method alone.

The choice of diet should be made by a doctor on an individual basis, based on:

• analyzes,
• allergy test results,
• the health status of the patient,
• the presence or absence of contraindications.

The course of treatment is also carried out under regular supervision and should be discontinued in case of detection of serious side effects.

Do not use this technique for children. Rather, dietary therapy is possible (meaning a hypoallergenic diet), but unloading therapy is definitely not. Therefore, it is worth solving the question of how to get rid of allergies in a child without applying strict food restrictions (and even more so, there can be no question of starvation!).

Immunotherapy

She is ASIT (allergen-specific immunotherapy). It is an effective modern approach that shows the highest effectiveness in completely getting rid of allergies, so it makes sense to consider the issues related to it in more detail.

Let's start with the fact that the immune system is designed in such a way that it constantly needs "enemies". Its very purpose is an endless war and the destruction of everything alien and dangerous to the body.

Based on this feature, back in 1989, the “hygiene influence theory” was formed, which explains the causes of allergies. According to this theory, allergies occur when a person "abuses hygiene", which leads to an insufficient load on the immune system.

And when there are not enough “enemies” (which leads to excessive sterility: too frequent washing, the use of antibacterial agents, etc.), the immune system still cannot stay idle and begins to find them among harmless foreign substances or proteins.

As a result, some substance is perceived by the body in much the same way as any harmful virus or microorganism is perceived. The result is predictable - the immune system starts a "war" with the newly formed enemy (allergen), thereby making its owner another "happy" owner of allergies.

Moreover, this feature is most intensely manifested in children, so most allergic diseases are formed during childhood and persist into adulthood.

Allergen-specific immunotherapy is designed to eliminate these previously acquired false positives of the immune system. To do this, the allergen is first detected.

For example, if a patient is concerned about how to get rid of an allergy to dogs, it will be the proteins of saliva and sweat of animals, if the question is how to get rid of an allergy to ragweed - the pollen of this plant. Then a course of treatment is carried out, consisting of the introduction into the body of increasing amounts of this allergen. This process bears a distant resemblance to vaccination.

At the moment, ASIT is the only treatment that directly affects the mechanism of allergy formation.

According to experts, this therapy is effective against:

• atopic dermatitis,
• allergic rhinoconjunctivitis,
• asthma.

The need for an integrated approach

Although the above methods are effective on their own, the best results are achieved by the simultaneous use of several methods, selected according to the disease.

The choice of methods and practices can be carried out independently (if you have the necessary knowledge), but it is preferable to follow the advice and consultations of specialists.

How to get rid of the most "popular" types of allergies?

Answers to questions about how to get rid of allergies to cats and how to get rid of allergies to dogs will be given by the ASIT mentioned above. It is carried out just in relation to three types of allergens:

Therefore, experts on this method also know how to get rid of an allergy to ragweed.

There is however some difference in treatment. In the first case, when it comes to animal allergies, there is no dependence on the time of year. It is much easier not to encounter allergens “outside of therapy”, it is enough not to have animals. Therefore, the frequency of the procedures performed is determined only by the state of the patient's immunity and the selected program. it is believed that the therapy against insects (especially wasps and bees), as well as domestic animals, has the greatest effectiveness.

FROM allergic to ragweed everything is a bit more complicated. It is impossible to carry out treatment during the period of active flowering. This means that procedures can only be scheduled for the autumn-winter period (approximately from October to early March).

In total, to cure these types of allergies, it will take 1 session per year for 2-3 years.

Another method that will help in the question of how to get rid of allergies on the face is autolymphocytotherapy.

This is a method in which the patient is injected with his own purified lymphocytes in various ways (subcutaneously, intranasally - into the nose, intravaginally). This technique is slightly less widespread, but its effectiveness leaves no doubt. The main "enemy" with which she fights is cold allergies and urticaria in general, however, dermatitis is also "subject to" her.

About how to get rid of food allergies are still debatable. First, both of the above methods are suitable. But the main way is still considered to be the treatment of concomitant diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, the formation of a healthy intestinal microflora, and the normalization of digestion. The best prevention of food allergies in childhood is breastfeeding, the correct introduction of complementary foods, and limiting the use of allergenic foods.

Psychosomatic allergy

Allergies as a result of stress are regarded quite often, especially in the philistine environment. However, there is no reliable data that could confirm this fact. Of course, all systems and organs of our body are interconnected, and the brain and the nervous system in general are their main regulator and coordinator.

Firstly, do not confuse vegetative-vascular reactions (flushing of the face, red spots on the neck, itching on the body, headache), which develop as a result of excitement and anxiety, with a reaction to a specific allergen. Secondly, even if we agree that the first appearance of an allergy is caused by a malfunction in the immune system, the provoking factor for which was stress, then the disease already exists, and “by itself” it rarely goes away, even if the “springboard” to its development is eliminated .

However, maintaining psychological balance, calmness and inner harmony will definitely help in the process of therapy. A positive inner attitude, the ability to adequately perceive the doctor's words, follow his recommendations without nerves and the desire for recovery will undoubtedly be an excellent help in treatment.

On our portal you can learn more about the psychological nature of allergies, its varieties and methods of treatment.

How to avoid the transmission of allergies by inheritance?

This question is of particular interest to future parents who suffer from one form or another of an allergy and are afraid of passing it on to their child.

To begin with, it is worth remembering that allergies in their pure form are not inherited. It is possible to transfer only a tendency to it.

According to available data, in 30% of cases, a child develops an allergy if one of the parents suffers from it. If both parents, the chance of transmission increases to 60-70%. And only in 10% of cases, an increased tendency to allergies can develop in the absence of allergy patients among the next of kin.

Unfortunately, even at the current level of development of genetic engineering, it is impossible to prohibit the transfer of one or another genetic feature, therefore, nothing much can be done about the hereditary predisposition. However, maintaining a healthy lifestyle during pregnancy is a factor that reduces the likelihood of disease transmission.

Outcome and overall performance assessment

As it becomes clear from the article, in medicine there is still no consensus on how to get rid of allergies forever, due to insufficient knowledge of the mechanisms of the formation of this disease.

There is also no causal relationship between allergic diseases and general health, which reduces the possible effectiveness of methods such as hardening.

But despite the fact that each of these methods has a rather limited use, some of them (such as allergen-specific therapy) show the greatest effectiveness and are preferred when choosing a treatment method.

How to cure allergies permanently

Allergy is a chronic disease of the immune system, characterized by increased sensitivity of the body to the effects of various antigens (allergens). During contact with an irritating substance in the body, an increased production of histamine occurs - a biogenic mediator that triggers instant processes in the body that are symptoms of the disease. It is histamine that causes lacrimation, redness of the eyes, sneezing, skin rash and other signs of allergic reactions, so most drugs have a therapeutic effect due to the antihistamine action.

How to cure allergies permanently

You can also treat allergies with folk methods, but it is worth remembering that plant components are substances with increased allergenic properties, so you should consult a doctor before using them. It is impossible to cure allergies forever, but you can significantly reduce the risk of exacerbations and achieve a long period of remission. This result is achieved mainly by stimulating immune responses and increasing the protective functions of the body, which itself will be able to cope with the influence of pathological provoking factors.

Can allergies be cured with medication?

Allergy treatment is a difficult and lengthy process that can take several years. To get rid of the disease forever, the patient will have to completely change their lifestyle, eating habits and strictly follow all the recommendations of the attending physician. Any relaxation can provoke an attack, and then the fight against pathologies will have to start all over again.

Histamine blockers help to cope with the clinical manifestations of allergies, but they do not affect the cause of pathological reactions.

Some people think that antihistamines can cure the disease, but this is not true. Histamine blockers help to cope with the clinical manifestations of allergies, but they do not affect the cause of pathological reactions. If, after consuming any product or contact with animals, a person has signs of an allergy, antihistamines are used as an emergency to alleviate the patient's condition. Their use is indicated for the following symptoms (in aggregate):

• sneezing
• flow from the nose;
• redness of the eye sclera;
• skin itching;
• nasal congestion;
• laryngospasm;
• rash;
• peeling of the skin.

As a quick help for such clinical manifestations, you can take any of the drugs listed below, after making sure that there are no contraindications.

Important! To get rid of allergic itching, it is recommended to use topical agents in the form of creams, ointments and gels, for example, Fenistil gel. Before applying, make sure that there are no cracks, wounds or cuts on the skin.

Immunotherapy

Immunotherapy is considered to be a fairly effective way to treat allergies, but it must be used in conjunction with other methods, strictly following all the advice and recommendations of doctors. Before starting therapy, the patient should be examined by an allergist. With the help of special tests, the doctor will identify the allergen, determine the degree of its activity and the state of the immune response at the time of contact with the irritating substance.

After that, microscopic doses of antigens will be administered to the patient for a certain time to form immunity resistance to this type of allergens. After a positive trend is observed, the dose of the administered substances will be increased until it reaches the maximum effective therapeutic concentration.

In some cases, the doctor may recommend a course of taking drugs from the group of immunomodulators containing interferon. It can be: "Viferon", "Interferon-Alpha", "Genferon". These drugs increase the protective functions of the body and stimulate the activity of the immune system to fight various pathogenic elements, which include not only pathogenic bacteria, viruses and microbes, but also antigens.

Important! The method of immunotherapy helps to cure allergies and achieve stable remission in about 70% of cases. It is very important that the patient during the entire period of treatment follow the recommendations on nutrition, lifestyle and avoid interaction with substances that have increased allergenic activity.

The role of cleansing in the treatment of allergies

Most allergists are sure that allergic reactions are closely related to pollution of the body, so it is advised to start treatment with cleansing the body. First of all, this concerns the intestines, liver, blood and lymph. There are various ways to cleanse the intestines, including:

• curative fasting;
• preparations for cleansing the intestines;
• cleansing enemas.

Therapeutic starvation is allowed only if a person does not have a history of serious chronic diseases and eats a full and varied diet. Its duration should not exceed 24 hours. It is best to start fasting in the evening. In the evening of the next day, before going to bed, it is allowed to drink a little oatmeal jelly or rice water. During the day, you can only drink mineral water without gas, herbal decoctions and green or chamomile tea without sugar. Within three days after the completion of fasting, the diet should consist of boiled vegetables and fruits (can be replaced with baked dishes), boiled meat, liquid cereals on the water. You can repeat the procedure no more than 2 times a month.

You can start getting rid of allergies with therapeutic fasting

A more gentle way to cleanse the intestines are enemas and medications. These include:

You can cleanse the liver with Lecithin and Gepar. These drugs contain phospholipids that restore the damaged cellular structure of hepatocytes. Preparations of this group effectively cleanse the liver of toxins and various toxic substances, which include allergens.

Phytocomplex Gepar for liver cleansing

Colon cleansing enemas

Recipe 1. Heat 100 ml of sea buckthorn or vaseline oil in a water bath to a temperature of 28 ° and gently insert into the rectum. The procedure is best done in the evening and after it, do not eat or drink anything until morning. The course of treatment is 10 days.

Recipe 2. Pour 4 tablespoons of chamomile with two cups of boiling water, cover and insist for 1 hour. Use the resulting infusion for a cleansing enema, dividing it into two times: morning and evening procedure. You can enter the agent using a syringe or a rubber bulb with a tip made of soft materials. The duration of therapy is 3 days.

Recipe 3. In 180 ml of warm water, add 1 tablespoon of salt and half a teaspoon of soda. Before introducing the solution, it must be stirred well so that the salt particles do not settle to the bottom of the syringe. You need to do a saline enema every day for 3-4 days.

Exercise after fluid administration

Purification of blood and lymph

Blood purification is usually carried out in a hospital using a procedure called plasmapheresis. First, the doctor takes part of the blood, after which the liquid structures are cleaned of poisons, toxins and allergens and returned to the systemic circulation using a special system.

Important! Plasmapheresis is a fairly effective procedure for the treatment of allergic reactions, but it should be carried out only in a specialized clinic by experienced specialists. Plasmapheresis is a procedure with an increased risk of infection (through the blood), so the choice of a medical institution must be approached very responsibly.

Anthelmintic therapy

In half of the cases, chronic helminthic invasion causes frequent allergic reactions. Toxins, which are released into the blood by helminths, poison the body and cause a persistent decrease in immunity. A distinctive symptom of helminthiasis is the occurrence of intolerance or allergy to substances that were previously well tolerated.

It is necessary to treat helminthic invasion with anthelmintic drugs. Before use, you must consult a doctor and take a blood and feces test to determine the type of helminths and the presence of antibodies to them. Based on the results of the examination, the doctor will prescribe the necessary drugs and their dosage. The most effective remedies for the treatment of helminthic invasion include:

They should be taken after meals in the evening. The next day, to prevent intoxication, the volume of fluid consumed should be increased by 1.5 times.

Important! All means for eliminating helminthiases have a strong toxic effect on the liver and other internal organs, so they cannot be used for prophylaxis without serious indications.

Treatment of allergies with prebiotics

The mechanism of formation of allergic reactions is associated with the functioning of the immune system, so the main therapeutic measures are aimed at maintaining a healthy intestinal microflora. In order for the body to be able to fight various antigens on its own, it is important that the intestinal microflora contains a sufficient amount of bifidobacteria and lactobacilli. The balance of pathogenic and beneficial microorganisms in the intestine can be disturbed by the following factors:

• poor nutrition with a lot of fatty, spicy foods and spices;
• taking antibacterial drugs;
• intestinal infections and other diseases of the gastrointestinal tract;
• poor climatic and environmental conditions in the area of ​​​​residence.

Bifiform capsules

To restore the optimal balance of microorganisms in the intestines, the patient is prescribed drugs that include probiotics and prebiotic cultures, as well as lactic acid bacteria: Yogulact, Normobact, Bifiform, Acipol. Women with signs of vaginal dysbacteriosis can use preparations with live bacteria in the form of vaginal suppositories to normalize the microflora of the mucous membranes of the vagina: "Acilact" and "Bifidumbacterin".

Advice! Proper nutrition is of great importance in the prevention of dysbacteriosis. It should contain a sufficient amount of fruits and vegetables. Fresh berries, greens, nuts are very useful. Dairy products should be present in the diet daily. It can be cottage cheese, kefir, milk, sour cream. To enrich the daily menu, it can include fruit and dried fruit compotes, berry fruit drinks, natural vegetable and fruit juices.

To increase the effectiveness of therapy and reduce the intensity of pathological reactions when interacting with an allergen, it is important to follow the advice of doctors and allergists.

1. At least once a year it is necessary to go on vacation to the sea or to the village. Clean air will help you deal with any form of allergy faster. The duration of the rest should be at least 1 month (if possible, it is better to leave for 3-4 months).
2. From the diet it is necessary to exclude products with increased allergenic properties: chocolate and cocoa, citrus fruits, honey and other bee products, spices.
3. If there are animals at home, wet cleaning should be done daily, even if the allergy is not caused by wool. Processing of rugs, carpets, toys and upholstered furniture should be carried out once every 3-4 months.
4. Cosmetics and other body and face care products must be of good quality (it is advisable to choose a product labeled “hypoallergenic”). Cheap cosmetics can lead to chronic allergies and skin diseases.

By following all the doctors' prescriptions, you can achieve significant improvement and extend the period of remission. It is possible to cure allergies forever only in 10-11% of cases, but with adequate and timely treatment, you can forget about the problem for a long time and avoid exacerbations, improving the quality of life and improving overall well-being.

Can allergies be cured?

All allergy sufferers ask this question, but most often get a vague answer. Allergy sufferers usually do not understand the causes of their disease and ask themselves: what did they do wrong, because of which a chronic ailment appeared, which significantly worsens their quality of life? It is difficult for them to understand why something that does not cause any inconvenience to others is harmful to them. Doctors' explanation is not very comforting: they know how an allergic reaction proceeds, but they do not know why a person reacts so sharply to a harmless object (for example, pollen).

What Traditional Medicine Says

Conventional medicine claims that allergies cannot be cured, but the symptoms can be alleviated. Only in some cases, when a person reacts to a single allergen, doctors offer long-term treatment using vaccination, aimed at reprogramming the immune system and reducing its overreaction. But this path is unacceptable when a person reacts to several allergens (which most often happens) or does not know at all what exactly causes an allergic reaction. In the most sensitive people, the condition worsens under the influence of cold, dust, food or medicine. They continue to get sick, despite numerous consultations of specialists and after undergoing various types of treatment that turned out to be ineffective.

Disillusionment with conventional treatments is driving allergy sufferers to seek new medical approaches. They go to a homeopath, an acupuncturist, or a naturopath, hoping to get rid of the allergy with another type of treatment.

What does alternative medicine say?

Holistic medicine is based on a different concept of the disease than traditional medicine, and aims not to eliminate the symptoms of the disease, but to treat the patient. All efforts are aimed at putting the body and brain in order, without poisoning them with drugs of chemical origin, which disturb the internal balance in the body and do not lead to any significant results. A healthy natural diet is recommended and an individual treatment is prescribed that harmonizes and changes the physical and emotional state of the patient, which leads to the strengthening of his immune system.

These factors greatly facilitate the course of allergies, although there is no doubt that anaphylactic shock or an acute asthma attack requires urgent medical intervention and the use of anti-inflammatory drugs to stop the process, which can lead to fatal consequences.

Anyone who believes that allergies can be dealt with by curing their symptoms is mistaken. Long-term treatment with corticoid or antihistamine drugs adversely affects the body as a whole. They do not cure allergies, but only alleviate its symptoms. That is why mechanistic medicine, that is, traditional medicine, does not inspire confidence in many patients.

Holistic medicine, on the contrary, seeks to heal the body as a whole, to bring it into balance, since a body in balance is a healthy body. Various means are used here: medicines, diet, gymnastics, relaxation. The end goal is the person himself.

To take advantage of the achievements of science, a person must choose a proven medical direction that inspires confidence. But this is not enough. First of all, it is necessary that a person be involved in this process and feel responsible for their health. If the choice leans towards treatment with natural remedies, it is necessary not only to avoid contact with the allergen, but also to change dietary and lifestyle habits and strictly follow the instructions of the attending physician. The doctor and the patient should become real like-minded people in such an important issue as a full recovery.

When should you see a doctor?

Even if the right choice is made in favor of treating allergies with natural remedies, in acute situations it is impossible to do without emergency medical care. To relieve exacerbation, you should seek help from a medical institution as soon as possible.

If a severe allergy attack occurs, there are special drugs (for example, bronchodilators) that can save a person's life, and it would be irresponsible to neglect them just because he is treated with natural remedies. In the hospital, he will be able to bring him out of the attack and relieve dangerous symptoms.

Of course, not all allergic conditions require emergency medical attention. Here are the cases when you should immediately consult a doctor.

• If suddenly there are spots on the skin, redness and burning, as well as increased heart rate. In this case, there is a high probability of developing anaphylactic shock - the most dangerous allergic reaction. Emergency medical attention is required, as the outcome can be fatal.
• If breathing is difficult, there is suffocation. This could be an acute asthma attack, another severe allergic reaction, or a heart attack. Emergency medical assistance is needed.
• If there is severe pain in the stomach or intestines, diarrhea or vomiting. The cause may be a severe food allergy or poisoning. You need to see a doctor as soon as possible.

Allergy: can it be cured or should I put up with it?

On April 5, Irina Sidorenko, Chief Allergist and Immunologist of the Moscow Department of Health, answered questions from readers.

Someone meets spring with a smile, and someone with tears. As you know, allergy sufferers have a particularly difficult time at this time of the year. Their body reacts to the smell of blossoming flowers as if they were dangerous substances, hence a runny nose, skin rash and many other “surprises”. Of course, people are faced with this disease not only in the spring, because allergies can be on animals, food, medicines, and even on a computer. Enumerate this black list can be very long.

How to protect yourself from the disease? What to do for those who have already encountered allergies? Where can you find good and conscientious specialists who are able to provide you with real help? These and other questions were answered by the chief allergist-immunologist of the Moscow City Health Department Irina Sidorenko.

Is it possible to cure allergies forever and never remember about it

Is it possible to get rid of allergies forever and never think about it again? To answer this question, let's figure out what an allergy is in general. Allergy is an inadequate, too strong response of the human immune system to some allergen substance that has entered the body.

The response of the immune system is so strong that the antigen cells produced by our body destroy not only allergen substances, but also affect healthy organs and tissues.

Allergies cause a lot of discomfort to the patient, and sometimes can even lead to death. According to WHO statistics, this disease is in fourth place in terms of danger to human life. Let's figure out together how to get rid of allergic manifestations.

How the human immune system works

When some foreign substance enters our body, it is recognized by special cells - macrophages. Macrophages absorb this substance, process it and leave the active parts of this substance - antigens on their surface. Antigens carry a code, a kind of passport, unique for each substance.

The immune system has another type of cell - lymphocytes. Lymphocytes are peculiar soldiers standing on guard of the purity of our body. When a macrophage and a lymphocyte meet, the latter receives information about the detected antigens and transmits it to the thymus.

The thymus, or thymus gland, is in charge of the production of lymphocytes. In the process of reproduction, the thymus transmits to new lymphocytes information about antigens already known to the body.

Then the lymphocytes follow to the lymph nodes, where they can also receive information about the newly discovered antigens. If a lymphocyte, circulating through the body, meets an antigen known to it - he attacks him seeking to destroy. In addition, the lymphocyte gives a signal and thousands of lymphocytes rush to the place where the allergen is present.

They secrete a special substance, at the command of which a shell of connective tissue begins to build around the allergen substance. Wherein inflammatory process begins. Inflammation begins in order to reduce the strength of the blood flow at the site of the presence of the antigen and not allow it to move through the bloodstream.

It is clear that if the antigen is found in large quantities, and over a large area, then the focus of inflammation will also be large.

Allergies can be caused by the use of drugs, stimulating immunity. At first glance, taking immunostimulants for allergies seems like the right approach to treat this disease. In fact, excessive activation of the immune system gives rise to an unreasonably strong immune response and, as a result, various manifestations of allergies.

Allergy manifestations

As you can see, allergies are not such a harmless disease, therefore don't neglect them. At the first manifestations of allergies, it is worth thinking about the consequences and starting to take the most drastic measures to eliminate the causes.

Types of allergies

food allergy. Allergy to some components contained in certain foods. Each person can have their own allergen, which does not affect other people in any way. Milk, eggs, chocolate, vegetables and fruits are a very short list of foods that can cause an unpleasant reaction.

Why do some people eat these products with pleasure and, most importantly, without any consequences, while others get a rash, itching and other troubles? The answer is simple. Because some component of these products is recognized by the body as foreign, harmful, toxic substance. This can happen for several reasons.

congenital allergy. This is when a mother got food poisoning at one time, the immune system remembered this and transmitted this information to her child during gestation or during feeding.

Self-poisoning. For the first time, the child was given to try some tasty product in large quantities, and the immune system decided that this unknown substance in such quantities was dangerous for the body. This information is stored in the memory of lymphocytes and in later life the body will fight with the presence of this substance.

household allergies

Allergy for dust, mites, wool animals. Of course, dust and especially mites are foreign objects for our body and the immune system is activated to fight them.

Allergy to household chemicals. Manufacturers strive to make modern household chemicals as less toxic and poisonous as possible. But it is simply impossible to make them absolutely safe.

And therefore, the immune response to these substances directly depends on the amount of substances used, the time of contact with the skin or respiratory tract, as well as the state of your immune system.

drug allergy

This type of allergy has all the same causes. On the one hand, any medicine is a poison. That is why it is so important in the treatment follow the dosage. And if you made a mistake and exceeded the required dose, you will get an allergic reaction.

On the other hand, immunostimulants, as well as drugs to reduce pressure, in particular, ACE inhibitors (captopril, ramipril, enap), enhance the immune response and, accordingly, provoke the occurrence of allergic reactions.

Allergy to natural phenomena

At first glance, there can be no allergy here, because no foreign substances enter the body.

In fact, at exposure to cold, a protein is produced in the skin that does not participate in any metabolic processes, and therefore is recognized by the body as a foreign body.

The immune system is activated to fight this protein. There is a lot of protein over the entire surface of exposed areas of the body, so the immune response is too strong - redness, swelling of the skin and hives will not keep you waiting. How to get rid of allergies forever?

Allergy treatment methods in accordance with the causes of its occurrence

First you need to find the pathogen. For this, the doctor prescribes skin tests, laboratory blood tests, application tests, provocative tests. Each of these types of diagnostics helps to identify the factor that provokes the disease.

There are the following ways to treat allergic conditions:

1. Medical therapy.
2. immunotropic methods.
3. Non-drug methods of treatment.
4. Non-traditional methods of treatment.

On the one hand, it is necessary put in order your immune system. To do this, it is necessary to stop taking various kinds of immunostimulants and, if possible, replace drugs to lower blood pressure with others that do not contain ATP inhibitors.

At the same time, it is necessary to take care of maintaining the immune system in a healthy state. To do this, the diet must contain vitamins and minerals.

On the other hand, given that the immune system remembers and stores information about antigens, it is necessary for a while to completely stop eating allergens. After a few years, you can begin to consume foods that cause allergies in very small quantities, gradually increasing their dose in your diet.

So is it possible to get rid of allergies forever? The answer to this question is ambiguous and depends on many factors. To get rid of the manifestations of this disease, it is necessary eliminate the cause occurrence of an immune response.

This is often difficult or almost impossible to do. A factory smokes nearby, a person lives in the north and is allergic to cold. Or, on the contrary, a person lives in the south and is allergic to the sun.

In this case, you can advise change the climate. It is clear that this is not so easy to do. But even remaining to live in your hometown, you can significantly reduce unwanted manifestations.

Might have to change profession or place of work to minimize your time outdoors. When going outside, it is necessary to protect the exposed areas of the body as much as possible and the manifestations of allergies will become much less frequent and not so painful.

Features of getting rid of allergies

But there are many people with less global problems. In particular, household allergies can be successfully treated with strict adherence to hygiene rules. A household mite starts up in the dust after about two weeks. So it should be weekly carry out wet cleaning, to refuse the presence in the house of all kinds of fur products, soft toys and other "dust collectors".

If you give your fluffy pet into good hands and at least once a week carry out steam and vacuum treatment of upholstered furniture. Then the happy owner of a clean and comfortable apartment can easily answer the question - is it possible to cure allergies forever.

In case of an allergic reaction to household chemicals, you should try to drastically reduce the amount of drugs you use in everyday life. And it is also necessary try to replace the drugs you are used to, to some others.

It is possible that your allergen substance will be absent in new preparations. To do this, just go to the store and compare the composition of various products. After these simple steps, you can easily determine whether allergies can be cured.

Allergic reactions to medications are very common. Patients with various diseases can say doomedly that they have no way out. They are forced to take medicine prescribed by a doctor, and therefore they have no choice.

In fact, everything is not so hopeless. First you just need to follow and try to understand which drug is causing you an allergic reaction, and then contact your doctor asking for a replacement this drug for a similar one.

Well, if you approach the solution of the problem globally, you need fundamentally change your life. Switch to proper nutrition, increase daily physical activity, lose weight. Health and good mood will come to you. You can refuse drugs or drastically reduce their number. And then the question of whether it is possible to get rid of allergies will no longer remain unanswered.

Summing up this article, we can say so. Yes, you can get rid of allergies forever. This will require from a person constant efforts aimed at changing the existing conditions of life.

But, if we discard laziness and not indulge our taste preferences, but stubbornly follow the intended goal, then we can definitely say that from allergies you can get rid of forever. The only question is how long it will take.

Can allergies be permanently cured?

bacteria, viruses, fungi, helminths, sera, vaccines and insect allergens. The development of many infectious diseases (brucellosis, leprosy, tuberculosis, etc.) is accompanied by an allergy: such an allergy is called infectious. Diseases caused by bacteria, fungi or viruses play an important role in the development of allergies. They are called infectious-allergic. With helminthiases, allergy develops in connection with the absorption of metabolic products and the decay of helminths.

Therefore, in order to get rid of allergies caused by helminths, it is necessary to undergo a course of anthelmintic therapy:

• red eyes, tearing, pain in the eyes;
• pain and inflammation of the joints;
• skin rashes (eczema and urticaria, contact dermatitis);
• diarrhea, vomiting, indigestion;
• regular dry nocturnal cough;
• wheezing in the lungs and choking;
• itching and sore throat;
• stuffy nose and runny nose (discharge from the nose is clear and watery, but with a cold it is usually yellowish and thicker);
• swelling of the eyelids, face;
• bouts of sneezing for no apparent reason.

There are diseases with which people live for years. The classic example is allergies. They relieve the exacerbation with the usual pills, not suspecting that sometimes the problem can be solved once and for all.

Translated from Greek, the term "allergy" means "other, alien", which reflects the essence of this common disease.

All manifestations of allergies, from the common cold to severe asthma, are an inadequate reaction of the immune system to a particular irritant (allergen). The official term "allergy" began to be used in 1906, when the Austrian pediatrician Clemens Pirke, observing his patients, noted the relationship of certain symptoms, such as sneezing and runny nose, with exposure to certain environmental substances, in particular pollen. For a long time it was believed that the body's hypersensitivity to allergens develops due to impaired function of immunoglobulins E, but it soon became clear that the appearance of a variety of symptoms previously classified as allergies is caused by numerous mechanisms involving various chemicals.

Unfortunately, every year the number of people suffering from allergies is inevitably growing, the disease itself is rapidly “younger”, it often suffers from infancy. It is not surprising, because the ecological situation, especially in our country, leaves much to be desired, people abuse antibiotics, sulfonamides, vitamins in large doses, while eating improperly. Many are forced to deal with various chemicals, which is also an additional risk. An important role is played by heredity. If relatives suffered from at least one type of allergy, the likelihood of an allergic "response" increases tenfold. According to the latest data, in some cases, allergic diseases occur against the background of changes in the intestinal microflora, that is, dysbacteriosis, when undigested allergens enter the bloodstream.

“The problem is that there is nowhere to hide from allergens, they are literally in everything that surrounds us,” says Alexandra Kashpar, chief physician of the Darling homeopathic center. - These are many food products, such as chocolate, sweets, exotic fruits, red vegetables and fruits, milk, fish, eggs, as well as all kinds of chemical additives, pollen, poplar fluff, saliva and animal hair, perfumes and deodorants, dust containing excrement of a small clothes mite, food for aquarium fish and much more. Allergies can also appear as a "response" to insect bites, cockroaches, latex, nickel compounds, as well as detergents and household chemicals. Allergy manifestations are very diverse - ranging from a runny nose to the development of anaphylactic shock, which can be fatal. These are skin reactions: urticaria, eczema, atopic dermatitis, neurodermatitis, sneezing attacks, lacrimation, swelling of the eyelids, ears, tongue, mucous membranes, difficulty breathing and severe cough (up to asthma attacks). A common seasonal phenomenon is hay fever (pollen allergy) - a widespread allergic disease, where the pollen of various plants acts as an allergen. Its characteristic feature is seasonal regularity, coinciding in time with the pollination of certain plants. Therefore, if every year in the same month you suffer from unbearable itching in the eyes, do not part with handkerchiefs and constantly sneeze, most likely this is a pollen allergy.

Classical medicine has several methods of treating allergies, which are based on a certain effect on antibodies in the body. This is the so-called immunotherapy, it is carried out in two ways: phased vaccination with increasing doses of antigen according to an individually developed scheme and intravenous injections of antibodies that bind immunoglobulins. In some cases, the doctor prescribes a course of treatment with small doses of histamine preparations, which are gradually increased. Thus, the body acquires a certain resistance, the number of allergic "responses" decreases. In certain cases, this brings a significant relief to a person, makes it possible to live a more or less fulfilling life, but, unfortunately, does not completely solve the problem.

“If the disease is not severe, many people prefer to get rid of its symptoms with the help of antihistamines, which are sold in any pharmacy,” says Alexandra Kashpar. - Allopathic medicine recommends the use of antihistamines (for example, tavegil or suprastin), which block the immune "response" to the identified allergen, literally dulling the excessive vigilance of our body. In some cases, this is indeed a good way out, since the attacks weaken, their frequency decreases. But there are some pitfalls here. All these remedies affect only the manifestations of a chronic disease, without affecting the cause itself. Moreover, long-term use of these drugs inevitably suppresses the immune system, which in the future may have negative consequences. That is why people who are already desperate to get rid of allergies by traditional methods come to a homeopath. After all, homeopathic remedies can not only relieve allergic symptoms, but also reduce the threshold of sensitivity to allergens, while maintaining a normal, natural immune response to the existing danger. Due to the increase in immunity and the normalization of the intestinal microflora, the pathological allergic reactions of the body that have existed for decades are completely destroyed. A quite understandable principle applies here: since allergies are associated with a malfunction of the immune system, treatment should be aimed at regulating immunity, and not suppressing it. Of course, I will not argue that homeopathy is a panacea, everything depends on each specific case, on the severity of the disease, the presence of concomitant disorders. It is important to understand that it takes time to solve any, the most complex problem, you should tune in to treatment and, of course, to a positive result. If you want to meet the summer without tears and a runny nose, come to a specialist in advance, best of all in February. Allergies can indeed be cured, but not always as quickly as you would like, and, unfortunately, not for everyone. I would like to note that in the practice of our center “Darling” there are cases when, with the help of homeopathy, patients even got rid of asthma.”

Homeopathic treatment is an extremely subtle science, where the key word is "individuality". It is almost impossible to be cured with a drug prescribed to a neighbor, the maximum that you will get is a temporary relief of symptoms. Every little thing is important here, a homeopathic medicine is selected based not only on the symptoms of your disease, but also on the characteristics of the constitution, type of character, temperament and many other factors. For example, it has already been proven that allergies are most often suffered by people who are notorious, dissatisfied with their own lives. “Answering” with an allergic reaction, the body tries to get rid of accumulated internal contradictions and unresolved problems. Of great importance is the psychological situation in the family, especially when it comes to very young children. Sometimes it is enough to drink a number of sedative drugs so that the allergy loses its ground.

“It is extremely important to find “your” specialist with extensive experience and that special flair that helps to find an approach to each specific person with a certain form and stage of the disease. After all, the total number of homeopathic remedies used to treat allergies is estimated at several tens of thousands of items, - continues Alexandra Kashpar. - To establish the true cause of the disease, the doctor will not only have a detailed conversation with you, but also perform a special diagnosis. In recent years, methods of electroacupuncture diagnostics have become increasingly popular - one of the promising areas for a comprehensive assessment and correction of a person's health. For example, in our center we use Voll diagnostics, as well as autonomic resonance testing (ART). With the help of ART, it is possible to determine the degree of damage to the immune system, the presence of inflammatory processes in the organs, the general allergic load (allergies) and allergens, as well as the effectiveness and tolerability of medications. The technique allows you to find deviations in the work of any organ of all the above systems, the reserve capabilities of the body, to identify the presence of intoxication as a result of exposure. As for the Voll method, its advantage is that it provides an excellent opportunity to test any drug for compliance with the needs of the body. The information obtained in this way allows us to collect a more detailed anamnesis, make a diagnosis and prescribe treatment.”

A huge number of people suffer from allergies. The word "allergy" itself consists of two parts - allos and ergon, and translated from Greek means "I do it differently." If there are malfunctions in the immune system, then even the most harmless substances entering the body are perceived as dangerous. The defense mechanism is launched, which manifests itself in the form of allergy symptoms - sneezing, coughing, tearing, nasal congestion, runny nose, itching, sometimes skin rashes, and in severe cases, bronchial asthma, Quincke's edema and even anaphylactic shock. How to escape from this scourge and whether it is possible to recover from it is a task for many specialists in the field of medicine.

Can dust allergies be cured?

To cure an allergy to dust is quite difficult, almost impossible, because dust is present almost everywhere and always, no matter how carefully and often wet cleaning is done, and no measures are taken to eliminate the sources of allergy. In addition, this type of allergy, unlike, for example, seasonal to pollen, is year-round.

There are several methods of treatment that are advisable to apply in a complex:

1. Limit contact with allergens.
2. Immunotherapy.
3. Medical way.
4. Means of traditional medicine.
5. Diet food.
6. Strengthening immunity by playing sports, hardening.

Can pollen allergy be cured?

Seasonal pollen allergy is also called hay fever. Nowadays, there are no drugs that would completely get rid of this type of allergy. Patients are treated with drugs that only temporarily relieve the symptoms of the disease. Since this type of allergy is seasonal, it is recommended to prepare the body in advance for an exacerbation of the disease. This process is very long, accompanied by specific immunotherapy. A positive result can be seen after about three years of systematic treatment.

Is it possible to completely and permanently cure allergies?

Before proceeding To treat allergies, it is necessary to identify the source due to which unpleasant symptoms begin. Despite the complexity of allergy treatment, experts still argue that there is only one way to completely get rid of the disease, or at least achieve significant improvement - this is ASIT - allergen-specific immunotherapy. However, not everyone can resort to it, since there are indications for this method of treatment.

Properly performed ASIT significantly reduces the manifestations of allergy symptoms, reduces the duration of exacerbations, prevents the transition of the disease to a more severe stage and the expansion of the range of allergens.

What allergy treatment methods do you use in your practice?

It should be noted that the main objective criterion for recovery is the improvement in the patient's quality of life, i.e., long-term remission. If the prescribed drugs relieve symptoms for a short time or help during an exacerbation, but with the onset of the next season the disease resumes and progresses, the treatment is considered ineffective.

Therapy of allergic diseases includes, first of all, the elimination (elimination) of the allergen, pharmacotherapy (symptomatic, pathogenetic) and specific allergy vaccination.

What is elimination?

This is an effective way to avoid aggravating allergies, if possible. With a food allergy, the patient must exclude from the diet all foods containing the "guilty" allergen; with insect and medicinal - avoid insect bites and taking medications that cause an allergic reaction, with hay fever - leave the area where the allergen plant grows for the entire period of its flowering. If this is not possible, it remains to use respirator masks or stay indoors during the allergen bloom period, the air of which is cleaned of pollen by special devices (they are available in specialized departments of clinics).

A patient with hay fever should avoid foods that have common antigens with plant pollen. For example, when sensitized to birch pollen, an allergic reaction causes the use of apples, cherries, plums. People who are allergic to wormwood pollen should not consume citrus fruits, sunflower oil, halva. Sensitized to ragweed pollen, melons and bananas are not recommended.

All these measures greatly facilitate the patient's condition, but with the onset of the next flowering season of the allergen plant, the disease worsens.

What is the role of symptomatic allergy treatment?

To alleviate the condition with allergies, drugs are often used that act on one of the secondary mechanisms of the disease. For example, vasoconstrictor drops that temporarily restore nasal breathing. They are not recommended for long-term use, as addiction develops to them, and besides, they cause side reactions. Such drugs do not cure, but only briefly eliminate one of the symptoms of the disease.

How effective is pathogenetic therapy?

It is aimed at one of the important links in the pathogenesis of the disease. It is known that the main "culprits" of the development of an allergic reaction are IgE and mediators of allergic inflammation: histamines, leukotrienes, etc. Therefore, drugs blocking the production of IgE and the release of mediators will always remain an effective and indispensable means of drug treatment of allergies. These are antihistamines, cromoglycates, corticosteroids, antileukotriene drugs. The latter include the leukotriene receptor antagonist montelukast sodium, which provides effective control of asthma and allergic rhinitis. It is not registered in the Republic of Kazakhstan and is not available on our pharmaceutical market.

The latest word in allergy pharmacotherapy is Omalizumab, which is a monoclonal antibody that binds IgE. This safe drug, superior in efficacy to corticosteroids, is only available on the US pharmaceutical market. Recently, a new tool for the prevention and treatment of pollen allergy has appeared in Europe - an inert cellulose powder in the form of a spray that covers the nasal cavity with a thin layer, and thus prevents the penetration of the allergen into the blood.

Despite the effectiveness

Causes and symptoms of allergies

Allergic diseases are spreading rapidly among the population, and allergens themselves play an important role in this. Recently, their number has increased so much that it is almost impossible to exclude them from everyday life.

Allergic reactions can be caused by a number of reasons:

• Food;
• medications;
• pollen and fluff of plants;
• animal hair;
• house dust;
• cosmetics;
• detergents.

The main symptoms that appear during the course of the disease are generally the same for everyone. They are manifested by nasal congestion, coughing, sneezing, discharge from the nasal cavity. In some cases, there may be rashes on the body, severe itching. If left untreated, the disease can lead to severe complications. The most dangerous is anaphylactic shock, which can be fatal.

Can allergies be cured without medication?

Today, allergies have become quite a mass disease. Sometimes a person, and doctors too, do not know the cause of this disease. There are many reasons for the occurrence of allergic reactions: both malnutrition, and the abuse of chemicals in products, and as a result of biotechnology. It seems that pharmaceutical products are presented in such a variety that drugs will cope with any ailment. But it is not always the case. Moreover, many of them are quite expensive, and new complications are possible when applied.

Folk treatment for allergies, experience in combating this disease occupy an important place in human life, preserves and increases the cultural fund of health.

Manifestations of allergic reactions can be on the skin, on the mucous membranes, in the form of cough and runny nose, lacrimation and itching. Symptoms can develop both gradually and like an avalanche, within half an hour. External manifestations of allergies bring torment, psychological discomfort, disrupt the usual way of life. In special cases, allergies can cause asthma attacks and, as a result, if help is not provided in time, lead to death.

In this article, we will consider in detail how to cure an allergy in a child and in adults, whether it can be cured forever, we will give a list of popular folk remedies.

In the modern world, where the environment is deteriorating every year, and food contains a large amount of harmful substances, it is one of the most common diseases. According to the World Health Organization, about 40% of the population is allergic to a particular substance.

In every living space, you can find about 6-8 common sources of illness, ranging from pets to sweets for tea. Therefore, the risk of its manifestation is very high in both children and adults of any age.

General information about the disease

An allergy is a reaction of the immune system to substances that have a negative effect on the body. These most often include food, medicines, dust, insect venom, flower pollen, etc.

Its manifestation is individual, i.e. the allergen that causes the immune system of one person to react has nothing to do with another. This disease can occur in a mild form: a person does not even suspect that any substance is rejected by his body.

Often, allergies cause discomfort to a person, forcing them to abandon their usual lifestyle. Some forms of immune response are dangerous if medical care is not provided in time (for example,).

Therefore, it is not recommended to postpone the identification of the allergen and the treatment of this unpleasant disease, because. constant contact with a substance that causes the active work of the immune system can only aggravate the situation.

Symptoms

Symptoms of the disease depend on its type and the place of contact with the allergen.

The main manifestations of the disease include:

• sneezing (strong, repeated at short intervals);
• cough and shortness of breath (feeling of tightness in the chest, difficult and heavy breathing);
• itching in the sinuses (usually accompanied by a copious secretion);
• lacrimation (eyes turn red, swelling appears);
• itchy skin (may cause a rash, peeling, blisters, or redness);
• numbness of the tongue;
• tingling in the mouth;
• swelling of the face (lips, eyes, cheeks, sometimes with a transition to the neck);
• gastrointestinal upset (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea).

In some cases, contact with a source of allergy leads to anaphylactic shock. This is a rather dangerous condition of the body that develops within a few minutes. The patient sharply feels weakness, blood pressure drops, he loses consciousness. At the same time, the throat swells, it is difficult for a person to breathe and speak.

Cause of illness

To get rid of unpleasant symptoms and cure allergies, it is necessary to establish the cause of its occurrence. Regardless of the allergen and the location of inflammation, there are main factors that affect the manifestation of the disease:

1. Weakened immunity. In the case when the body is exposed to another disease, the person reacts more strongly to allergens. However, this fact in itself is the cause of many other ailments and infectious lesions.
2. Diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. With deviations in the work of this system, allergens are not digested and are not converted into amino acids. This causes the entry of harmful substances into the patient's blood and an immediate reaction.
3. Liver disease. The liver is a kind of filter that neutralizes harmful substances from the external environment. If this organ malfunctions, the cleansing function interacts with other systems incorrectly, thereby presenting a danger to humans.
4. Kidney diseases. All kinds of inflammation and inflammatory processes disrupt the excretory function, thereby increasing the concentration of toxic substances in the blood.
5. Heredity. Many types of seasonal allergies that occur in humans are associated with this factor. The most common allergens in this situation are mold and pollen. That is why during the flowering period of many trees (maple, poplar, birch, etc.), many go to the clinic with urticaria, swelling of the eyes, tearing, itching. Also, the lifestyle of the mother during the period of gestation has a huge impact. It has been scientifically proven that women who adhere to the wrong lifestyle and expose the body to daily intoxication with harmful substances, in most cases give birth to allergies.

Diagnostics

If you find one of the symptoms of a reaction to a particular substance, you should visit an allergist. It is he who will help to identify the cause and prescribe the correct treatment. It is almost impossible to cure allergies at home, without consulting a specialist.

At the first visit to the clinic, the patient will try to find out all the possible risk factors:

• the presence of allergies in the family;
• transferred stresses;
• chronic diseases (in particular kidneys, liver, gastrointestinal tract);
• transferred viral diseases;
• introduction to the diet of new products, cosmetics, contact with animals.

With the help of clinical studies, the main types of the disease and the active substances that trigger the body's defense processes have been identified:

For a more accurate diagnosis, the doctor gives a referral to. Usually, the patient is tested for an allergen. They are divided into the following types:

1. Drip test. Various substances are dripped onto the hand skin treated with an alcohol solution, which most often cause an immune system reaction. Itching, redness and rash are an indicator of the impact of this particular allergen on the patient.
2. Applicator test. Special swabs soaked in a solution of water and the active substance are applied to the back. After 30 minutes, watch the reaction.
3. Scarification. Drops with a high content of various substances are applied to the skin. Next, incisions are made on this surface of the body. A papule that occurs at the site of the cut, with a diameter of about 5-6 mm, is considered a positive reaction.
4. Prick test. After applying the drops, an injection is injected through this liquid. A blister or extensive redness at the injection site indicates the elimination of contact with this particular allergen. Definition time: 10-20 minutes.
5. intradermal index. An allergen is injected into the outer layer of the skin and the reaction is observed during the day. An indicator is redness and swelling of more than 10 mm.

Provocative tests are widely used in practice by allergists. They are used in difficult situations in the diagnosis of the disease. The occurrence of allergies is detected by direct contact with the substance. There are the following types:

1. nasal method. An allergen diluted in water (proportion 1/10) is dripped into each nostril.
2. conjunctive method. A substance diluted according to the scheme described in the first method is instilled into one eye. After 30 minutes, repeated instillation with a more concentrated liquid is carried out.
3. inhalation method. It is used to identify the cause of asthma in a patient. To carry out the procedure, an inhaler and a diluted substance presumably dangerous to the patient are used.
4. sublingual method. Food or drug allergies are usually defined only in this way. Under the tongue of a person is placed for a short period of time (15-20 minutes) ¼ tablets or a small piece of food.
5. elimination method. The product that allegedly caused the allergy is removed from the patient's diet for several days (up to 7 days). After some time, it is administered again and the reaction of the body is observed.

One of the modern ways to determine the nature of edema, urticaria, redness, etc. is a blood test for immunoglobulin E (IqE). An elevated level indicates the presence of an allergy.

Treatment of allergies in children

It is possible to cure allergies forever, but not in all cases. It all depends on the allergen that causes a response. After all, often all treatment consists in identifying the pathogen and limiting contact with it. However, not all substances can be completely excluded from our lives (for example, dust, tree pollen, tap water, poplar fluff, etc.).

Symptoms of malaise in both adults and children are the same. But when prescribing treatment, the doctor uses more gentle methods of alleviating symptoms for children, taking into account the age characteristics of a small patient.

Treating an allergy in a child can be quite difficult. It is sometimes difficult for a small patient to explain that a particular substance is dangerous to his health. For example, why you can’t touch your beloved cat with your hands or why all the children eat sweets at the holiday, and he has to watch the process from the side. In addition, they are designed only for older people and have many side effects.

In addition to the complete absence of contact with the allergen, there are several treatment options for children:

Medicines

• antihistamines ("Suprastin", "Zodak", etc.);
• means for the normalization of the gastrointestinal tract ("Bifiform", "Linex", etc.);
• local hormonal preparations ("Advantan", "Skin-Cap", "Uniderm", etc.);
• non-hormonal ointments and creams ("Bepanten", "Solcoseryl", "Desitin", etc.);
• antifungal and antimicrobial agents (appointed strictly individually, after the necessary tests and specialist advice).

Climatotherapy

Children with allergies are very useful sea water and mountain air. Parents of those who suffer from seasonal allergies try to go on vacation during the flowering period of trees and many plants. As additional methods on vacation, it is recommended to use mud therapy, mineral baths, and physiotherapy procedures.

In many sanatoriums, there is a whole range of measures for kids with allergies. It is noted that the creation of such favorable conditions at least 2 times a year helps to cure this unpleasant disease forever, makes the skin cleaner and reduces painful symptoms.

Almost 60% of children suffer from food allergies. Therefore, proper nutrition is the key to successful treatment in this situation. It is recommended to make a daily diet together with an allergist. It is he who will help to correctly determine the number of calories, based on the energy costs of people of a certain age.

Thinking through the menu, you should take into account the composition of vitamins and trace elements that come with food. Deficiency causes a weakening of the immune system and the possibility of resuming the disease.

folk method

You can try. However, it is worth remembering that in relation to children one must act with extreme caution: it is better to coordinate each prescription with the attending physician. Recipes used at home often contain substances that are on the list of common allergens. Therefore, a competent approach to these procedures is necessary.

You can cure allergies by bathing in decoctions of herbs: string, chamomile, calendula, etc. For inflammation, it is recommended to make cold lotions with tea tree oil. Itching is well removed by freshly squeezed juice of young potatoes.

Baths with sea salt are also quite safe for the child, both for treatment and for prevention. In the case of wounds and ulcers at the site of the rash, which are caused by mechanical damage (children often scratch the inflammation), the procedure must be canceled.

Treatment of allergies in adults and pregnant women

For the treatment of adult patients, the same methods are used as for children. Only the dosage of the drug is usually increased and calculated on the total weight of the person. In addition to the main list of medicines, the patient may be prescribed antibiotic therapy. Infections affect the body and weaken the immune system, therefore, to eliminate its foci, it is recommended to drink a course of antibiotics.

The impact on the allergen in an adult is usually carried out in a complex way. In addition to these measures, you can try to cure the disease with the help of self-prepared potions.

The most common folk remedies for oral administration:

• vegetable juices: celery, carrots, potatoes and their mixture (3 times a day, 2 tablespoons, before meals);
• rosehip decoction (2 cups a day after meals);
• decoction of celandine (1 teaspoon per glass of water, taken throughout the day);
• propolis tincture (a liter of vodka and 100 grams of propolis insist for 10 days, take 5 drops).

External means include:

• baths with a decoction of bay leaves (10 leaves per liter of water);
• from sea buckthorn oil (oil mixed with glycerin in a ratio of 1/1);
• tea compresses;
• baths from a decoction of lemon balm, chamomile and mint.

The onset of the disease during pregnancy is complicated by the impossibility of a full treatment. Many drugs should not be taken without risk to the health of the fetus. Allergic reactions in the first trimester (except for severe forms) are not recommended to be treated with conventional therapy. It will be enough to exclude contact with the allergen, drink vitamins and walk a lot.

In case of seasonal allergies, after each walk, it is necessary to wash clothes, wear a medical mask on the street, and avoid parks and forests.

Folk remedies should be treated with caution. With complex forms of immune response, the expectant mother is placed in a hospital. It is there that a safe set of measures is carried out to identify the diagnosis and eliminate the consequences.

Allergy brings considerable discomfort to its owner. Difficulties in identifying the allergen and unpleasant symptoms weaken the immune system, so the disease can drag on for a long time. It is important to remember that in order to eliminate frequent exacerbations, an allergic person should adhere to a certain lifestyle.

Proper nutrition, vitamin therapy, elimination of the allergen and control of the health of internal organs will help maintain the natural balance of the body and avoid frequent outbreaks of allergies.

How to treat allergies with modern methods?

Allergy treatment is a pressing problem for most of the whole of humanity. Someone regularly suffers from rhinitis, conjunctivitis or allergic cough, and someone suffers from hives. But in most cases, regardless of the manifestations of the disease, people are prescribed approximately the same treatment. Naturally, such therapy does not help everyone, and at best eliminates the symptoms, but not the cause of the disease.

Since the problem of allergies is becoming more and more acute every year, and it is not always possible to avoid contact with allergens in the modern world, the search for new, more effective methods does not stop for a minute.

Most of the achievements in how to treat allergies belong to Israeli and German doctors. In many ways, those grandiose successes, which patients of foreign clinics are happy to talk about, were achieved thanks to the individual selection of advanced treatment methods and the peculiar climate on the coast of the Dead Sea and in the German caves.

It is the specific climatic conditions that contribute to the speedy elimination of any allergy symptoms and the strengthening of immunity in general, which prevents the development of the disease in the future. Therefore, allergy treatment in these countries has the highest effectiveness.

Therapy is carried out using the most modern methods and includes the use of individually selected doses of specific drugs.

Modern methods

Almost all allergists have long understood that all the methods available in their arsenal are hopelessly outdated and help only in removing the main symptoms of the disease, but in no way contribute to eliminating its cause.

The issue of combating the causes of allergies is especially relevant for those who are hypersensitive to cold, water, dust and plant pollen.

• Immunotherapy and homeopathy

For patients who are not ready or unable to come to terms with their disease, homeopathy and immunotherapy (desensitization) can be the first steps towards recovery. Such treatment usually takes several years, but it gives a high percentage of healing - about 80%. Particularly effective are the methods of gradual, but regular introduction of the allergen to an allergic patient who is sensitized to pollen, dust (more precisely, insects living in it), animals, etc.

A significant addition to any antiallergic therapy is plasmapheresis. This method allows you to purify the blood from a large amount of biologically active substances that contribute to the onset and maintenance of allergic inflammation. The method is not dangerous, since all the plasma removed from the blood is replaced by the appropriate physiological solutions.

The method of treating allergies in a special chamber, the air of which is saturated with salt ions, has much in common with balneological treatment in salt caves in Germany. It is this method that is considered one of the most modern and progressive in the treatment of respiratory forms of allergy.

The beneficial effect of salt ions on the mucous membranes of the upper respiratory tract is expressed in the restoration of the normal functioning of its cells and the gradual elimination of inflammation. In addition, regular stay in the speleochamber helps to increase the natural defenses of the body and strengthen the immune system.

Irradiation of blood with a laser is one of the most technologically complex methods. This method is used to treat allergies of any origin, but only after obtaining permission from a highly qualified doctor, since BLOCK has many contraindications.

The procedure is performed by inserting a needle into the vein cavity. A laser pulse is fed into the needle through an optical fiber, which conducts blood purification.

Recently, dynamic electrical nerve stimulation has been successfully used as part of complex therapy, and sometimes as an independent method of treatment. This hardware technique helps not only to stop, but also to treat allergic diseases of any form. DENAS helps to increase the body's resistance to the adverse effects of various provoking factors and normalizes all types of immunity.

By the age of fifty, I began to suffer from allergies. What should I do? Pills ... Recently I learned that you can clean the air at home with special equipment. I have been researching this issue. Deep research into each brand. As a result, I settled on IQAir. They have the most efficient and high-quality filters that remove dust particles from the air. I took the Allergen 100 model. I made the purchase on credit. Here is the thing! At least at home I don’t have allergies, my wife stopped running regularly with a wet rag. Therefore, do not take it for advertising, I recommend taking an air purifier. It will help make the air in the apartment cleaner.

Allergy manifestations and modern methods of treatment

For some, fresh flowers, delicious tangerines, playing with a beloved cat, a walk in a summer park are simple and affordable joys. And for others - the cause of real torment. Allergy is one of the most common diseases today: every 4 inhabitants of the Earth are familiar with it. Consider the manifestations of allergies and modern methods of treatment.

food allergy. It manifests itself when eating certain foods. Most often, eggs, milk, fish, nuts, citrus fruits, strawberries, melons, tomatoes, honey, etc. become allergens. These products can provoke allergies both in their pure form and as part of various dishes.

drug allergy. This type of allergy can be caused by any drug. The disease is characterized by increasing severity of symptoms, suddenness of development. In this case, the severity of reactions to the allergen depends little on the doses of the drug. The worst form of drug allergy is anaphylactic shock. When blood pressure drops sharply and the functions of most vital internal organs slow down.

hay fever caused by plant pollen. Manifestations: dermatitis, rhinitis and conjunctivitis, urticaria. But most often - pollen bronchial asthma. Pollinosis (hay fever) is characterized by hereditary predisposition. Especially if the father and mother also suffered from allergies.

Allergy manifestations are distinguished by different allergic reactions. They can be both independent diseases, and in combination with concomitant ailments.

Hives manifested by rashes of blisters, which are accompanied by very intense itching. It looks like nettle burns. Urticaria occurs suddenly on the body, arms, legs, mucous membranes, less often on the face. May be accompanied by fever, general weakness. The most severe manifestation of urticaria is Quincke's edema. It affects the deep layers of the skin, mucous membranes and subcutaneous tissue. Quincke's edema is often manifested in the feet, head, hands and neck. Requires urgent treatment.

Bronchial asthma is a chronic allergic disease. It is manifested by attacks of suffocation or shortness of breath. Less often - dry cough.

Allergic rhinitis. It is also called rhinitis. Rhinitis is not accompanied by a strong deterioration in well-being and fever. It is often accompanied by conjunctivitis. There are year-round and seasonal rhinitis. The development of allergic rhinitis is promoted by environmental pollution, infection of the upper respiratory tract, hereditary predisposition.

allergic conjunctivitis manifested by pain, redness of the eyes, sudden lacrimation, a feeling of sand in the eyes. Symptoms usually occur upon contact with pollen, household chemicals, animals and other allergens. If you exclude contact with substances that cause allergies, conjunctivitis may go away on its own.

Dermatitis manifested by painful cracks, redness, rash, itching that suddenly appeared on the skin. Widespread and manifested in different forms: contact dermatitis in adults, atopic dermatitis (allergic diathesis) in children.

Modern methods of treatment of allergies

Typical manifestations and treatments for allergies are being actively studied by scientists. However, traditional medicine has proven its effectiveness. The ideal treatment for allergies is no contact with allergens. But in some cases this is not possible. For example, if you are allergic to plant pollen, you can’t hide from it anywhere. Increasingly, people are allergic to cold, sunlight, water, dust. But you can reduce aggressive environmental factors. After a walk, completely change clothes, use protective creams, do wet cleaning more often, etc. Prevention combined with treatment gives an excellent result! important in the treatment of allergies physiotherapy. With the manifestations of allergies, modern methods of treatment are fighting quite effectively.

Desensitization- a kind of "vaccination". Reduces the sensitivity of the body to the allergen. It consists in the gradual introduction of the allergen to the patient. Desensitization is more often used for rhinitis caused by pollen, spores, animals, dust mites.

Medical treatment prevents the development or reduces the severity of the main manifestations. The drugs are taken according to the instructions of the doctors, because self-medication in this case is dangerous.

Plasmapheresis- a hardware method for cleaning blood plasma, in which part of the plasma is removed. Plasma contains the most biologically active substances involved in the development of allergic inflammation. The removed plasma is replaced with appropriate solutions. Plasmapheresis is used in the complex treatment of any allergic diseases.

Speleological chamber- one of the most modern methods in the treatment of allergic diseases of the upper respiratory tract (asthma, rhinitis). Patients during the procedure are in a room where the air is saturated with salt ions. As a result, immunity increases, the work of mucous membrane cells is restored, and inflammation decreases.

BLOCK(intravenous laser blood irradiation): during a session, a needle is inserted into a vein to which an optical fiber is connected. It transmits a laser pulse. The method can be used in the treatment of many allergic diseases. It has an anti-inflammatory effect and a pronounced immuno-strengthening effect. But there are contraindications, so you need to consult a doctor.

If there is no allergy to bee products, you can chew honeycombs for 10-15 minutes (three times a day). If the symptoms are pronounced - up to 5 times.

Dilute 1 g of mummy in 1 liter of boiled water. Take once a day in the morning. Children 1-3 years old - 50 ml, primary school age - 70 ml, adolescents and adults - 100 ml. In case of severe allergies, it is necessary to repeat the intake during the day, while the dose is halved. The course of treatment is about 20 days.

Squeeze out the juice from the celery root. Take 30 minutes before meals for 1/2 tsp. Or: 2 tbsp. l. crushed, insist 2 hours in 200 ml of cold water, filter. Take 3 times a day for half a cup before meals.

Modern methods of treatment of allergies.

In this section, we present the general principles of modern treatment of allergic diseases. It consists of the following areas: elimination therapy, specific immunotherapy, pharmacotherapy and patient education. The term elimination therapy is more common in medical circles. At the doctor's appointment, patients will be given recommendations on creating a hypoallergenic life, which implies elimination therapy. I would like to dwell on elimination therapy for food allergies, which was not reflected in the previous sections. It is as follows: in the absence of clear indications of intolerance to a particular food product, the patient is prescribed a non-specific hypoallergenic diet with the exception of "obligate" allergens: citrus fruits, fish, eggs, chocolate, nuts, strawberries, strawberries, red varieties of apples, tomatoes.

Principles of nonspecific hypoallergenic diet.

• "Obligate" allergens - citrus fruits, honey, strawberries, nuts, chocolate and chocolate products, red varieties of apples, tomatoes, pineapples, smoked meats, caviar, canned food, fish, eggs, fresh milk.
• Spicy dishes and spices - mustard, pepper, vinegar, mayonnaise, horseradish, radish, garlic.
• Alcoholic drinks.
• Carbonated drinks.
• Salt is limited.

• Low-fat meats (rabbit, horse meat, lamb, pork, beef).
• Oil (ghee, olive, sunflower).
• Lactic acid products (cottage cheese, kefir, curdled milk, yoghurts).
• Kashi (buckwheat, rice, corn, oatmeal).
• Vegetable and cereal soups.
• Vegetables and fruits (zucchini, turnip, pumpkin, potatoes, cucumbers, apples, bananas, pears, watermelon, melon).
• Berries (blueberries, lingonberries, currants, plums, cherries).
• Compotes, tea.
• Bad bread.

General non-specific hypoallergenic diet.

If you don't know the exact "culprit" of your allergy, we recommend that you follow a general hypoallergenic diet that will help keep you from feeling worse until you can get tested.

1. Citrus fruits (oranges, tangerines, lemons, grapefruits, etc.).

2. Nuts (hazelnuts, almonds, peanuts, etc.).

3. Fish and fish products (fresh and salted fish, fish broths, canned fish, caviar, etc.).

4. Poultry (goose, duck, turkey, chicken, etc.) and products made from them.

5. Chocolate and chocolate products.

7. Smoked products.

8. Vinegar, mustard, mayonnaise and other spices.

9. Horseradish, radish, radish.

1O. Tomatoes, eggplants.

14. Strawberry, wild strawberry, melon, pineapple.

15. Butter dough.

1. Lean beef meat, boiled.

2. Cereal and vegetable soups

a) on secondary beef broth.

3. Butter, olive, sunflower.

4. Boiled potatoes.

5. Buckwheat, oatmeal, rice porridge.

6. Lactic acid products - one-day (cottage cheese, kefir, yogurt).

7. Fresh cucumbers, parsley, dill.

8. Baked apples, watermelon.

11. Compotes from apples, plums, currants, cherries, dried fruits.

Specific hypoallergenic diet.

If you are allergic to pollen from trees, grasses or weeds, or fungal spores, we recommend that you follow a diet that excludes certain foods that have a similar effect on the body and can worsen your well-being.

Allergy to tree pollen

Allergy to grass pollen

Allergy to weed pollen

Allergy to fungi micro-organisms

Fruits growing on trees and shrubs

Bread, bakery products

flour products

Sugar, fructose, sorbitol, xylitol

Other products that have undergone fermentation during cooking

It should be noted that the proportion of true food allergies is very small and does not go beyond 5% of the total number of allergic reactions that are false. Therefore, the treatment of concomitant diseases of the digestive system (chronic cholecystitis, pancreatitis, intestinal dysbacteriosis, etc.) is extremely important in food allergies.

Allergen-specific immunotherapy (hyposensitization) (ASIT)- This is a method of treatment, which consists in the introduction of patients with therapeutic allergens (allergovaccines) in gradually increasing doses to reduce sensitivity to their repeated exposure. ASIT is the only type of therapy that has a positive effect on the natural course of allergic diseases. It prevents the development of asthma in patients with allergic rhinitis, limits the expansion of the spectrum of sensitization, reduces the need for drugs in patients, and increases the time of remission of allergic diseases.

The use of this method of treatment is possible only by doctors who have undergone special training in specialized institutions (allergological rooms and hospitals). ASIT is performed in certain categories of patients with atopic diseases. The timing of her appointment remains a matter of debate. In most international consensus documents, it is recommended to use this method of treatment in case of ineffectiveness of pharmacotherapy or the development of side effects of drugs, i.e. in the so-called "difficult patients". The traditions of the Russian school of allergists and the data on the positive effect of immunotherapy on the natural course of allergic diseases indicate the expediency of prescribing ASIT in the early stages of development. It should be noted that this possibility is allowed in the new version of the international consensus on the diagnosis and treatment of allergic rhinitis.

1. Safety
2. Efficiency
3. Convenience for the patient.

Preparations for ASIT must be registered in Russia. This ensures that they meet all the requirements of Russian legislation in terms of efficiency and safety criteria. One of the main safety requirements is a high degree of purification and standardization of the allergen.

Abroad, in special cases (professional contact, a high degree of sensitization), immunotherapy with epidermal allergens is performed. The effectiveness and safety of ASIT is largely determined by the quality of allergy vaccination.

1. By determining the concentration of the main allergen in them;
2. measuring their antigenic activity.

Abroad, allergens are produced by a large number of companies (Stallergen, Allergopharma, etc.). In our country, the main manufacturer is the research and production association "Allergen" (Stavropol) and the open joint-stock company "Biomed" them. I.I. Mechnikova (Moscow region). Most often, water-salt allergens are used for immunotherapy in Russia. Reducing their reactogenicity is achieved by chemical modification. This allows you to increase the dose of injected antigen, reduce the frequency of local and systemic side effects. In our country, household and pollen allergoids are produced.

To reduce the number of injections in the ASIT process, deposited allergens and allergoids are used, which are adsorbed on the carrier. Modern deposited allergens can reduce the number of injections to 1 per month, because. their concentration of the allergen is higher, and the adjuvant (aluminum hydroxide or calcium phosphate) allows the allergen to be slowly released from the depot. An example of such a form is Fostal, Allustal (Stallergen). The ASIT technique is largely determined by the etiology of an allergic disease. For example, with household sensitization, year-round treatment is carried out, with pollen and insect sensitization, pre-season and year-round introduction of allergens is used. The classical method involves a gradual increase in the amount of allergen introduced. Its disadvantages are associated with a large number of injections and the duration of the course of treatment.

An accelerated ASIT method is proposed, which is carried out in allergological departments. The disadvantage of accelerated ASIT is the high likelihood of severe systemic reactions in patients. The most common way to administer allergens is subcutaneous. Its disadvantages are due to painful injections, the need for frequent visits to the doctor and the possibility of side effects.

• Oral, in which drops or tablets containing allergy vaccines are swallowed.
• Sublingual, which involves holding the allergen under the tongue for 1-2 minutes, followed by swallowing. The allergen is placed under the tongue for 2 minutes, then swallowed; in this case, only the first dose of the drug is made under the supervision of a doctor, further use occurs at home. Medical supervision is mandatory, it is carried out at the beginning of treatment, during the period of dose accumulation, and then regularly during maintenance therapy. Sublingual allergens can be in the form of drops or tablets.
• Nasal, in which a liquid or powder allergen is injected into the nose.
• Inhalation, characterized by the introduction of a liquid or powder allergen into the bronchi.

In recent years, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials have proven the efficacy of nasal and sublingual (with subsequent ingestion of the allergen) immunotherapy with pollen and mite allergens in patients with allergic rhinitis. Convincing evidence of the effectiveness of inhaled and oral ASIT has not yet been received. Depending on the amount of therapeutic allergens, monocomponent and polycomponent ASIT are distinguished. In the latter case, several allergovaccines are simultaneously administered to the patient. It should be noted that the number of unrelated allergens should not exceed three. With a further increase in their number, the efficiency of the method decreases.

ASIT is an effective treatment for atopic bronchial asthma, hay fever, perennial and seasonal allergic rhinitis, and severe reactions to insect bites.

When carrying out ASIT, the development of local and general adverse reactions is possible. Local reactions occur in 22-55% of patients at the allergen injection site and do not pose a danger to the life of patients, systemic adverse reactions occur in 5-40% of patients. ASIT requires at least 3 courses, then treatment efficiency of up to 95% can be achieved.

The problem of treating allergies is still relevant today, since scientists have noted the fact that every year the number of people suffering from allergies is increasing markedly.

Allergy is a hyperreaction (hypersensitivity) of the immune system of the human body to the effects of various environmental factors, which are called allergens. Such an inadequate reaction of the body occurs due to the fact that the immune system incorrectly recognizes the potential danger in the action of the allergen (the so-called antigen). As a result, the immune system begins to produce special antibodies, the task of which is to neutralize these very antigens.

All allergens can be divided into such groups as: food, biological, chemical and pharmacological, and endogenous.

Allergic reactions have diverse forms of manifestation, which, in turn, depend on the nature of the allergen affecting the body. In this regard, the most common symptoms of allergies are rhinitis, conjunctivitis, bronchial asthma, dermatitis, urticaria, Quincke's edema, etc.

Until now, there is not a single treatment method that would 100% relieve a person of allergies. The fight against allergic diseases consists mainly in relieving the symptoms of the allergy itself. However, treatments have also been developed that suppress the immune system's response to allergen exposure. Thus, the following groups of allergy treatment methods are distinguished: elimination therapy, drug treatment and immunotherapy.

The traditional methods of treating allergies are methods of elimination therapy, which consist in minimizing or completely eliminating the patient's contact with the allergen. In this case, the allergist gives recommendations to the patient on organizing a hypoallergenic environment in his place of residence, and sometimes even on changing his place of work, or prescribes a special diet if he is allergic to any food components. Thus, elimination therapy involves changing not only a person's lifestyle, habits, but also a change in his external environment. This method is the most reliable and effective, and also has no contraindications and age restrictions.

In the medical treatment of allergic diseases, patients are prescribed special medications: antihistamines, epinephrine, cortisol, etc. However, the listed pharmaceuticals are not designed for a long course of treatment, since they only help to reduce allergy symptoms. Most often, these medicines are used to provide emergency care to patients with anaphylactic shock.

There is a practice of treating allergies with histamine, by introducing it into the body in small, gradually increasing doses. It is assumed that in this way it is possible to cause the body to become resistant and addictive to histamine, and thereby reduce the predisposition to allergic reactions.

Currently, pharmacological companies produce a drug called "Human Antiallergic Immunoglobulin", obtained from donated blood.

Among the methods of immunotherapy, the method of allergen-specific immunotherapy (ASIT, hyposensitization) is the most widely used. The essence of this method is to vaccinate the patient with antigens that caused an allergic reaction. Moreover, the concentration of allergens in the vaccine is increased each time. All this contributes to the development of an "antidote" by the body. And, as a result, there is a decrease in the sensitivity of the immune system to this type of allergen. The considered method of treatment prevents the complication of allergic reactions. The advantages of this method are: safety, efficiency, and it is also very convenient for patients.

Autolymphocyte therapy (ALT) can be presented as another method of immunotherapy. Its essence lies in the administration of a vaccine to the patient with an increasing dosage of no longer antigens, but his own lymphocytes, which are previously subjected to specific processing. At the same time, information about the allergens to which the body reacts is stored in lymphocytes. The purpose of such vaccination is to increase the body's resistance to the action of allergens. Unlike hyposensitization, ALT is used to treat all types of allergic diseases. In addition, autolymphocytotherapy is very effective in the treatment of allergies to two or more substances at the same time.

It should be noted that all methods of immunotherapy require a sufficiently long treatment. In addition, the treatment of allergic diseases by these methods is associated with the risk of anaphylactic shock in the patient.

Thus, at present, the treatment of allergic diseases can be carried out in several directions. Currently, four groups of treatment methods are used. However, each of the methods has both its advantages and disadvantages, and to date, scientists have not yet developed a 100% effective method for the treatment of allergic diseases.

Allergy is one of the most common diseases that significantly reduces the quality of life of patients. That is why many ways to treat allergies have been developed, and new ones are constantly being searched.

1. Drug therapy

The basis of the treatment of any allergy is drug therapy. It is with its help that you can quickly eliminate the symptoms of the disease and prevent their re-development.

Most often, antihistamines are used, the mechanism of action of which is to block the effects on the body of those biologically active substances that are released during an allergic reaction and provoke the onset of symptoms. To date, there are three generations of antihistamines. The main disadvantage of the first generation drugs is their side effect in the form of drowsiness and a decrease in the reaction rate, therefore, these drugs are contraindicated when driving vehicles, as well as when performing work that requires concentration and quick response. Most often, drugs of the 2nd or 3rd generation are used, devoid of this drawback.

In case of allergic reactions of moderate and severe severity, glucocorticosteroids are often prescribed - adrenal hormones that have a powerful anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic effect. The duration of their use for allergies does not exceed a few days.
In order to prevent allergic reactions, drugs from the group of mast cell membrane stabilizers, as well as leukotriene receptor antagonists, are prescribed. These drugs reduce the degree of the body's response to the allergen entering it, but this effect develops only with long-term course intake.

In addition to the main therapy for any allergic reactions, drugs from the group of enterosorbents are also prescribed. Their action is to sanitize the gastrointestinal tract from various kinds of toxins and allergens, which can aggravate the course of allergic reactions. Enterosorbents are also divided into three generations, and the generally recognized "gold standard" today is the appointment of third-generation drugs - for example, Enterosgel belongs to them. Its advantage is its high sorption capacity, it is not absorbed in the intestines, does not have a systemic effect and therefore has practically no side effects.

2. Immunotropic methods

An allergic reaction is a pathological, disproportionately strong reaction of the body in response to the ingestion of certain substances to which this particular person has an increased sensitivity.

Given this nature of allergic reactions, active work is underway regarding the search for means to eliminate such sensitivity. Currently, there are two main methods of influencing the immune system for this purpose.

Specific immunotherapy is a method of treatment, which consists in repeated repeated introduction into the body of small and gradually increasing doses of a certain allergen. It has been proven that this tactic leads to a gradual loss of sensitivity of the immune system to this substance. Specific immunotherapy is prescribed in cases where the allergen is accurately identified. The main limitations of this method are the high risk of developing adverse reactions (primarily allergic) and the impossibility of applying it to several allergens at the same time.

These shortcomings are deprived of a relatively new method - autolymphocytotherapy. It was developed by Russian scientists about 15 years ago, and its essence lies in the repeated repeated introduction into the body of increasing doses of a person's own lymphocytes, previously removed from him and processed in a special way. Unfortunately, the effectiveness of this method is not 100%, but in most patients it is possible to achieve at least a decrease in the severity of manifestations of allergic reactions.

3. Non-drug treatments

The basis of the treatment of allergies is drug therapy, which includes drugs, and if indicated, immune preparations such as allergo vaccines or autohemotherapy. However, non-pharmacological methods of influence also have a certain value.

First of all, they include a hypoallergenic diet. This is a mandatory and unconditional measure in the treatment of any allergy. The duration of its appointment and the degree of dietary restriction depend on the specific clinical situation.

Physiotherapy also belongs to this group of influences. It is contraindicated in the acute period of allergy, but it is indispensable in the recovery period and in the period of remission. The most commonly used methods are darsonvalization, electrophoresis with medicinal substances, sometimes halotherapy (“salt cave”) is indicated.

Also, non-drug methods of treating allergies include physiotherapy exercises - first of all, breathing exercises and massage. Most often they are used in the presence of symptoms from the bronchopulmonary system. The main goal here is to improve the drainage function of the bronchi.

4. Non-traditional methods of treatment

Considering that allergic diseases significantly reduce the quality of life and are practically not completely cured, many patients turn to alternative medicine methods, hoping to get relief with their help.

It should be remembered that the effectiveness of these methods of influence has not been proven and has not been tested in serious studies, so they cannot be used as the basis of treatment.

These methods include homeopathy and herbal medicine. Both of these methods can be potentially dangerous due to the fact that the products used themselves can be strong allergens. As a rule, their action is aimed at eliminating symptoms such as nasal congestion, coughing, etc.

In Chinese medicine, methods of acupuncture exposure for allergic reactions are also described.

A certain effect, especially in people with respiratory manifestations of allergies, gives hardening. However, even with its use, one must be careful not to cause hypothermia of the body and not provoke acute respiratory infections, which will only aggravate the phenomena of allergies. Just like physiotherapy, it is contraindicated in the acute period of allergic reactions.

Conclusion

So, the basis for the treatment of allergic reactions is drugs that eliminate the symptoms of the disease and prevent its recurrence. Unfortunately, it is almost impossible to cure the cause of allergy, but elimination methods of influence - diet, intake of enterosorbents, avoidance of contact with the allergen - can significantly improve the quality of life. In addition, in some cases, immunotropic methods of exposure may be effective.

At the same time, physiotherapy, exercise therapy, massage and hardening are only auxiliary methods that have limited use, and unconventional methods of influence, if used thoughtlessly, can do more harm than help.

Antihistamines

This is probably the most well-known group of drugs after antibiotics. Antihistamines, to date, already represent three generations of drugs. The first generation of antihistamines has been known and used for a long time, but their effectiveness is not as high as that of subsequent generations. The first generation drugs include Diazolin, Tavegil, Suprastin, Dimedrol. Many, for sure, are familiar with the side effects of the action of these drugs, due to which, for example, Dimedrol, was banned from sale without a doctor's prescription, and more recently there has been a complete cessation of production of this drug. The fact is that increased drowsiness, which is one of the main side effects of drugs of this particular generation, with an increase in the dose of the drug, in the case of diphenhydramine, can turn into increased excitability with the appearance of hallucinations.

In the rest of the drugs in this group, drowsiness, itching, nausea, with an increase in the dose of the drug, are also capable of developing into increased excitability with manifestations of attacks of hypertension. Therefore, the treatment of allergies with first-generation drugs should be started only in cases where there are contraindications to other groups of drugs, or their use as additional drugs in general, complex treatment, in strictly limited doses.

Glucocorticosteroids

A drug group of drugs with a powerful anti-allergic effect, better known to a wide range of people under the general name "hormonal drugs". Their appointment, and use, should take place only with the permission and under the supervision of a physician. Available in several forms - in the form of injections, tablets, ointments, as part of inhalations. Injections have an immediate effect and are used to relieve acute attacks, such as Quincke's edema, attacks of bronchial asthma or anaphylactic shock. Injections of drugs from the group of corticosteroids are also used in advanced, chronic stages of allergy, in complex cross-allergic reactions. Allergy treatment with oral corticosteroids is prescribed for prolonged and severe cases that are not stopped by other, lighter drugs, or previously prescribed antihistamine therapy has not brought the desired effect.

Glucocorticosteroids really have a hormonal basis, so side effects with the wrong dosage, prolonged use, longer than the maximum permitted period, can cause considerable harm. That is why it is worth taking this category of drugs seriously. Experiments with self-treatment are not appropriate here. Seeing a doctor will reduce the risk of various kinds of side effects to a minimum. Although modern corticosteroid generations of drugs are considered as safe as possible, it is still not necessary to exclude individual reactions of the body to taking these drugs.

Violation of the timing of taking this group of drugs, incorrect dosage or individual intolerance to such drugs can cause complications of the following nature:

• diabetes;
• ulcerative colitis;
• rapid, unreasonable weight gain (steroid obesity);
• development of hypertension;
• vision loss.

The duration of the course of treatment with corticosteroids should not exceed one week, this is the maximum allowed period in which the development of complications and the appearance of side effects is minimal. Thus, the drugs of this group can be called a "rapid response group", after which, further treatment of allergies is based on more gentle means.

Sorbents

Among the sorbents is one of the popular drugs, which is often used in everyday life, to relieve many symptoms - activated charcoal. Of course, none of the sorbents has direct anti-allergic properties, but with their active support, the allergen and toxins are rapidly eliminated, the formation of which is an integral part of the course of allergic reactions. Sorbents, as it were, "suck" harmful substances into themselves and, not allowing them to spread with the bloodstream throughout the body, remove them through the digestive tract. With the support of sorbents, allergy treatment will be more effective.

The group of sorbents is quite wide, but, in addition to activated carbon, for example, one can also name Laktafiltrum, Enterosgel, Filtrum. Preparations from the group of sorbents are dispensed without special prescriptions and there will be no harm from them if used independently. But still, you should entrust the appointment of such drugs to the doctor in order to avoid unnecessary intervention in your body, because taking sorbents may simply not be appropriate, at best, at worst, it will lead to a decrease in the anti-allergenic effect of the main anti-allergic drugs, "filtering" them together with toxins, before the onset of a therapeutic effect.

Development of tolerance to the allergen - SIT - therapy

To date, the most effective method of treating allergies and allergic attacks, especially bronchial asthma. The essence of therapy is that the body is gradually accustomed to the action of the main allergen, which provokes seizures. In the stages of remission, small doses of the allergen are injected into the body by injection. It is necessary to carry out a certain number of injections, the so-called course of treatment, and with each injection the dose of the allergen increases. Thus, the body develops an addiction to the irritant and the allergic reaction to it gradually decreases, up to a complete cessation. The process of habituation is called "tolerance". As soon as tolerance to the allergen is achieved and its resistance is observed, the course of treatment is stopped.

To achieve tolerance to the allergen from the first course of treatment can be quite difficult. You should be prepared for the fact that such therapy will have to be carried out for several seasons in a row, as a rule, the autumn or winter period is chosen for this, during which allergic exacerbations rarely occur.

Allergy treatment by SIT - therapy is possible only with the participation of an allergist, in an allergological office, with special equipment. The success of the treatment course depends on the stage of allergy development, the earlier its signs were noticed and the faster therapeutic measures were taken, the higher the chance for a quick recovery.

The effectiveness of plasmapheresis in the treatment of allergies

Plasmapheresis can be prescribed as an independent method of treating allergies, or as an integral part of a complete treatment course of anti-allergic therapy. The use of plasmapheresis is advisable in severe cases of allergic attacks or in complex and chronic manifestations of this disease. The principle of plasmapheresis is that part of the plasma is removed from the body, replacing it with special plasma-substituting solutions. Blood plasma contains all the necessary active biological substances, including the accumulation of most of the allergen and all toxic substances in it. "Purified" after plasmapheresis, blood plasma brings visible relief by relieving allergy attacks. The procedure is carried out under the supervision of medical staff in specialized medical rooms.

Quantum treatment method

Modern technology, with the active support of various sciences, has given doctors new, highly effective methods of treating many diseases. One of these methods is ILBI - intravenous laser blood purification. The method is completely new, but has already shown excellent results. Treatment of allergies by ILBI is advisable at any stage, any of its types and forms of manifestation. The procedure consists in the intravenous introduction of a special intravenous fiber optic catheter, through which a laser pulse enters the blood, with certain specified characteristics and parameters. Laser radiation has a detrimental effect on most allergens that enter the bloodstream, as well as on a number of microorganisms and bacteria that are involved in inflammatory processes. Based on this, ILBI will be effective in the treatment of a number of inflammatory diseases.

Despite its high efficiency, the method has some limitations and contraindications, so the possibility of its use, in each specific situation, should be discussed with the attending physician.

Folk remedies for allergies

Traditional medicine is rich in various methods of treatment of most known diseases. Allergy is considered a human disease of the twenty-first century, and therefore, with folk remedies, a comprehensive, all-encompassing treatment of allergies is almost impossible. There are many folk remedies that can temporarily eliminate one or more of the symptoms of an allergy, such as reducing itching or reducing the severity of a rash. But the root cause cannot be eliminated. In addition, a passion for traditional medicine in the event of an allergy can achieve a cross-reaction when the body has not one, but several simultaneously potent allergens.

Treatment of allergies with homeopathy

It is one of the alternative methods of treating the underlying cause of an allergic reaction that is now gaining popularity, as well as a desensitization method based on a similar principle - treating like with like.

Homeopathic treatment of allergies involves a very long course, which lasts at least one year. Prescribing homeopathy is more effective outside the season of exacerbation of allergies, drugs are selected strictly individually after passing a specific homeopathic diagnosis.

Allergy treatment at home

Allergy treatment at home is the maximum avoidance of provoking allergens, that is, elimination.

Treatment of allergies at home is quite acceptable, especially if the allergy sufferer already has an “experience” of the disease and a specific treatment regimen prescribed by a doctor and tested by experience. First of all - the observance of hygiene of the home, ventilation, wet cleaning, exclusion from everyday use of chemical and synthetic substances. Allergy sufferers should always have antihistamines on hand to help stop the allergic reaction. Methods and ways to treat allergies include following a certain diet and following the rules of a healthy lifestyle.

New treatments for allergies

New methods of treating allergies inevitably appear every decade, as almost all prominent immunologists, biologists, geneticists and allergists are involved in the fight against this problem of the century.

New methods of allergy treatment are most often a modification of desensitization, these include allergen-specific immunotherapy, autolymphocytotherapy for polyvalent allergies (crossover). Not so long ago, allergic asthma attacks have learned to stop and achieve stable remission with the help of nebulizer therapy, allergy therapy with plasmapheresis, laser blood irradiation (ILBI), TES therapy (stimulating the production of endorphins) is effective.

Allergy spas

This is a great opportunity, if not to cure the allergy completely, then at least to achieve a stable remission, which sometimes lasts for many years.

Sanatoriums for the treatment of allergies, as a rule, are located in areas with a mild, humid climate, have healing natural water sources, salt caves, and so on. All sanatoriums that belong to the allergological profile suggest a complex course therapy, which includes not only symptomatic methods, but also detoxification procedures, physiotherapy, inhalations, balneotherapy, therapeutic physical education and psychotherapy.

As the practice of allergists shows, allergy treatment carried out at home with incorrect methods, chaotic doses and not always useful means leads to a decrease in the effect of subsequent complex treatment and a delay in the allergic process for a long period.
