The pollen reached by air in the nose, lungs and eyes. Therefore, the airway in hay fever sufferers particularly hard hit. Typical hay fever symptoms are:
Nose

* Runny nose and sobbing.
* Nasal congestion (swollen mucous membranes due to)
* Sneeze
* Itching

Eyes

* Red Eye
* Burning sensation
* Swollen eyelids
* Photosensitivity
* Itching

Further Hay fever Symptoms

* Opacity
* Quick tired
* The patient feels ill

Sometimes the patient also suffers from coughing or rustling in the ear.

Very clearly typical for people allergic to pollen that day, during the time that pollen will be released, will intensify the symptoms and the condition worsens. In bad weather and more prolonged rain, the patient usually feels better.
Hay fever diagnosis by the doctor

If you suspect allergic to, it is advisable to switch doctors. The best course is an allergist. The doctor can not only diagnose allergies, but also provide various investigations. These test results may cause the allergens (the substance for which one is allergic) can be identified. However, this does not always work, because with over twenty thousand different known allergens may also be that there is no clear diagnosis to give. Especially with food allergy is difficult.
Research on indentification of the allergen

Skin testing (prick test, intracutaantest, scratch test and friction test), small amounts of different allergens in different spots on the skin. Is the patient really allergic to one of these substances produces an allergic skin reaction (swelling, rash, red skin).

In blood tests the blood samples taken from the patient in response sensitivity and specific sensitization to the allergen tested examined.

Since a few years there is a imuuntherapie available in the form of tablets. These tablets are a preparation from pollen extract of timothy (Phleum pratense). If the tablet over a period of three years daily placed under the tongue (sublingual use), where the tablet dissolves and the release from allergens. In this variation of specific immunotherapy develops an immune resistance to the allergen, and reigns less sensitive to contact with pollen.

This specific immune therapy not only helps people who are allergic to timothy, but in general against allergies to grasses, and even roggepollenallergici have benefited. The reason is that all the sweet grasses from the same botanical family are. Ninety-five percent of all cereal grasses, and only three come from the same families. Botanically closely related eg rye, wheat and millet.

Hay fever, such as, asthma or neurodermatitis, a group of diseases that cause all the same in the body can be traced to. The cause is allergic to substances in the environment such as flower or grass pollen. These work as allergens and cause an immunological reaction. The tendency to such a reaction is what truly innate chin. Certain environmental factors can, however, the probability that a full allergy, increase. Fine dust is an example.

These sensitive individuals introduced the first contact with an allergen to the production of natural antibodies in the body, called anti-bodies. From that time the body recognizes ordinary daily occurring substances in the environment suddenly as dangerous. The body is allergic “to” put. Over time the body develops in contact with the allergen more antibodies, and finally comes when an allergic reaction Places the find. On contact with the allergen from then the body reacts to the allergen as a foreign body substance must fight, and one is really ill, for example, grass or flower pollen.

On contact with the allergen connect the anti-allergen and the bodies themselves, and forcing some cells to the emission of a substance transfer. An example is transfer substance histamine. Histamine is a biologically highly active substance that occurs throughout our bodies. The effect of histamine will be familiar to anyone who has ever touched a nettle. Histamine dilates small blood vessels. This creates a red rash. From blood vessels into the surrounding tissue fluid is included, and there arises a swelling. It is the activity of the glands increased.

If this inflammatory reaction in the nose occurs, one sees the typical symptoms of hay fever:

* Snotty, high moisture loss through the nose.
* Nasal congestion by swelling of the lining.
* Violent and frequent sneezing attacks, violent sneeze.
* Itching.

The eyes are affected by allergic reactions:

* Red eyes.
* Itchy eyes.
* Burning sensation.
* Sensitivity to light.
* Eyes watering.

There are many other complaints. Such a patient may be very different. Thus there itching in the ears and mouth occur, but also headache, fatigue, weariness and irritation occur.

In any event that this condition affects people strong, and strong symptoms the patient has great difficulty in his daily life as before to continue. The exercise of the profession and leisure activities can be similarly difficult.

Furthermore, in an untreated allergy after several years created new allergies. There may even arise allergic asthma.
