How Telemedicine Can Help In Allergies
As per many studies, nearly 55% of all U.S. residents tested positive for one or more allergens, and chronic sinusitis infecting about 35 million Americans. Now that's a pretty significant number. Despite our modern medical technologies, allergy is still a big concern, and lots of money is spent annually on several allergy remedies.
There are various types of allergies. They can be broadly categorized as nasal allergies and skin allergies. Nasal allergies can contribute to asthma, and many people, particularly kids, can suffer from it. Such reactions can be seasonal or caused by many reasons.
A few of the causes of allergies are:
Environment
We are living in a highly polluted world. There are smoke and dust everywhere. These can be the primary reasons that cause allergies. Many workers who work in chemical factories land up with asthma. The air is contaminated because of this allergy is very common around the world.
Dust
There are more vehicles in our country than people. The emission that is caused by these vehicles causes allergies. Also, they rake up the dust making an allergic person sick instantly.
Reaction to medication
Several drugs can induce reactions due to their side effects. E.g., certain people are allergic to aspirin. Like the same way, some medications can induce symptoms in people that are related to asthma. Although the conditions vary from individual to individual, the allergy can be very unpleasant and troublesome.
Food allergy
Food allergies can be a life-threatening issue. Many people are allergic to lactose or other foods. They cause the face to swell, and the person starts sneezing. Many a time, this can lead to fatal health issues.
Pollen dust
This allergy happens during the spring season. Keeping the windows and doors closed at home as well as while driving can help in preventing allergy.
Animal fur
This is also another common cause of allergy. If you are allergic prone, avoid animal fur. This irritates the nose, causing cold and sneeze and other issues.
Avoid keeping indoor plants and use air filters and de-humidifier. If the conditions get severe, visiting a doctor's office or using reputable Telemedicine services is still the best option. CityDoc offers the best Telemedicine services for your family's urgent medical needs.
