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.

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.

* Antihistamines. Also called histamine receptor blockers. These are histamine fighters. The histamine is released from allergies, and leads to the typical hay fever symptoms. Antihistamines block the action of the body, and thus may suppress the symptoms. The more old-fashioned anti-histamine funds had the side effect of users fell ill with fatigue. Newer agents are not the problem, and can be used without problem. Another important effect of this anti-histamine funds is that they very rapidly effective, and the effect lasts several hours.
* Mestcelstabilisatoren as cromoglicic acid stabilizes the cell membrane of mast cells. These are the cells that contain histamine, and by the stabilization of emissions prevented histamine. Unlike antihistamines cromoglicic acid has only effect when used regularly throughout the season allergens (ie during the pollen flight). It may take several days before results are noticeable. Therefore at least two to three weeks before the pollen flight started with this treatment.
* Swelling Inhibitory nasal sprays that constrict blood vessels of the nasal mucosa. These funds also called vasoconstrictors known, and can be used for allergy and cold symptoms related burning eyes and itchy eyes. It is important that these funds not more than two to three weeks successively used. Doing that, can prevent damage to the nasal mucosa.
* Cortisone nasal sprays, are not only heavy and antihistamine used to control symptoms. Cortisone is an endogenous hormone that suppresses the immune system, and thus allergic symptoms. During brief periods of applied force usually no complications. With prolonged use can have side effects such as hypertension or create acne. The systemic cortisone therapy should remain exceptional and should only be prescribed by a doctor.

While hay fever may not sounding serious, take this condition seriously! Avoid allergens, and follow the instructions of your doctor. Take your hay fever medication regularly.
