Individual intolerance to mushrooms

What are the safest mushrooms?

When eating forest mushrooms, some representatives of this species have the least negative effect on the body.

The perfect product used for the preparation of many dishes is champignons, which contain a huge amount of amino acids, vitamins and other elements necessary for the human body. These elements are involved in the formation of tissue cells. Champignon is an easily digestible product and does not give a strong burden to the digestive organs during their use.
In addition to champignons, you can use mushrooms and boletus without much fear. They have an important quality - they do not absorb or accumulate various harmful substances, so they are not allergic products.
Chanterelles are considered by many to be the healthiest mushrooms. This is partly true, but it must be remembered that foods that have bright, intense colors can be severe allergens. These include chanterelles.

Treatment activities

Establishing an accurate diagnosis of the occurrence of food allergies is not difficult. This product not so often is present in the human diet, and it is quite easy to identify the relationship between their use and the appearance of the first symptoms of the disease.

The main treatment is to completely eliminate the allergen (fungi) from the diet. There are no difficulties in this. This can be unpleasant only for vegetarians. Although prescription ingredients can be replaced with similar protein-rich foods.

When allergic manifestations occur, antihistamines are prescribed, which neutralize the obvious symptoms of the disease.

In addition, adsorbents can be used that remove intoxication from the body that occurred under the influence of an allergen.

A good effect is achieved when using topical preparations (creams, gels, ointments, suspensions). These drugs can neutralize external skin manifestations, relieve puffiness, itching.

In severe cases, hormone therapy drugs are prescribed to avoid complications such as Quincke's edema (giant urticaria) and anaphylactic shock.

All therapeutic measures are based on the general condition of the patient and the severity of symptoms. As a rule, hospitalization of a patient is carried out only as a last resort, when there is a direct threat to his life and health.

Prophylaxis

An effective measure to prevent an allergic reaction is the complete elimination of fungi from food. In addition, it is advised to select a diet that does not contain other foods that cause allergies. But due to the fact that they are present in many foods, it is necessary to know how strongly the body reacts to them. If immunity has developed to the whole kingdom, and not to certain disputes, then it is necessary to exclude:

kvass,
alcohol (wine, beer, etc.),
mushrooms,
yeast baked goods (including bread),
dairy products,
any fermentation products.

In addition, you will need to avoid certain rooms:

Wet, unventilated showers.
Basements (cellars) with poor ventilation.
Old houses.

Places where the microorganism can spread (trash can, refrigerator, table, bathroom, place next to sink and stove) requires constant cleaning. Therefore, in addition to regular washing, they also carry out treatment with drugs that destroy pathogens. It is recommended to do the same with shoes, especially those used in a public place (pool, office, etc.).

Parents who love to plant flowers on windowsills will have to completely abandon their plantings.In extreme cases, if the allergy is mild, it will be necessary to constantly treat the soil with antifungal drugs, which can negatively affect not only the health of plants, but also the condition of those living in the house.

Attention should be paid to the air conditioner. This device can become a distributor of dust and fungal spores - the most common causative agents of allergies. Therefore, it is best to give preference to devices that filter not only the air entering them, but also the one that is blown into the room.

If the apartment is not equipped with this device, then you need to constantly monitor the freshness of the air, ventilating at least 2 times a day and each time after steam enters the premises (cooking, shower)

Therefore, it is best to give preference to devices that filter not only the air entering them, but also the air that is blown into the room. If the apartment is not equipped with this device, then you need to constantly monitor the freshness of the air, ventilating at least 2 times a day and each time after steam enters the premises (cooking, shower).

Also, some of the representatives of the Kingdom of Fungi are able to infect rotting foliage, cut grass and other waste of plant life. Therefore, to prevent exacerbation of allergies, you will need to minimize contact with these things.

The same can happen with plants, therefore, for people who are going to live in a private house, you need to exclude buildings near an extensive plantation of trees and open water. In addition, doctors recommend not to plant garden plants that are more vulnerable to the effects of pathogenic microorganisms. And if the garden already exists, you need to carefully monitor its condition, regularly carrying out therapeutic and preventive measures.

Mushroom allergy is often diagnosed in childhood, but even if it occurs in adulthood, it is necessary to quickly determine the cause and eliminate it. This will avoid complications and take preventive measures so that the state of health does not deteriorate.

Gluten

Gluten is the general name for a group of proteins found in wheat, barley, rye and their hybrids. Several types of eating disorders have been linked to gluten, including celiac disease, non-celiac gluten intolerance, and wheat allergy.

Celiac disease is an immune response and is classified as an autoimmune disease. When celiac patients consume gluten, their immune system reacts to gluten. As a result, the small intestine is irritated, which can seriously harm the digestive system.

Wheat allergy has symptoms similar to
symptoms of celiac disease. The difference is that if you are allergic to wheat
the body produces antibodies to wheat proteins, and celiac disease is the result
the work of the immune system, in which the proteins contained in wheat cause it
an abnormal reaction.

However, many experience unpleasant symptoms even after
negative tests for celiac disease or wheat allergy. This can be a manifestation
non-celiac gluten intolerance, a mild form of gluten intolerance.
This disease affects, according to various estimates, from 0.5 to 13% of the world's population.

Celiac disease and non-celiac gluten intolerance have similar symptoms:

bloating
stomach ache,
diarrhea or constipation
headache,
fatigue,
joint pain
skin rash,
depression or
anxiety state,
anemia.

Both types of intolerance are treated with a gluten-free diet:

bread,
pasta,
various types of flakes,
beer,
bakery,
various types of cookies,
various types of sauces,
especially soy.

Output. Gluten is a protein found in wheat, barley, rye and their
hybrids. People with gluten intolerance experience abdominal pain, bloating
and headaches.

Beneficial features

Speaking about the benefits, it is worth recalling that mushrooms are a unique product. They are very nutritious, while they are not inferior even to food of animal origin - meat, poultry and fish. Mushrooms contain a lot of protein, amino acids, enzymes and trace elements. Minerals and vitamins present in the product have a beneficial effect on the cardiovascular system, reducing the risk of developing many dangerous diseases. In addition, by eating mushrooms, a person strengthens the immune system. There is an opinion that mushroom chitin provokes the elimination of harmful cholesterol, heavy metals, toxins and toxins, thereby cleansing the body.

How to get rid of mold in an apartment

The surest way to prevent fungus from growing in your home is to eliminate areas of high humidity and keep it at an optimal level. You need to ventilate the apartment or install an air conditioner with a heat pump. Check all pipes and taps for water leaks.

If the mold is deeply embedded in the walls, you will need to completely remove the wallpaper, and sometimes the plaster. Then apply special antifungal chemicals. They should saturate the wall well and dry. The procedure must be carried out several times. It is necessary to process not only the visible areas of infection, but also the area beyond them. Mold fungus can grow very large and be invisible to the eye. It is advisable to use antifungal agents as a preventive measure during the construction and repair phase.

Fungi that have settled on household items, furniture, windows must be carefully removed using antifungal solutions. If your clothes or furniture smelled strongly of mold, then it is better to get rid of them. Otherwise, fungal spores will continue to be released into the air and cause an exacerbation of the disease.

Food intolerance: prerequisites for development, symptoms, biochemical picture

While food allergies are usually anaphylactic and atopic reactions, food intolerances are the body’s inability to absorb certain food components or remove them safely.

As a result large undigested complexes enter the bloodstream and cause a type III immune hypersensitivity reaction - with the formation of immunocomplexes that damage the cells and tissues of the body.

What causes food intolerances?

The reasons for the development of food intolerance are one of the controversial issues of medicine. Various hypotheses are put forward: from a decrease in the impact of epidemic diseases on the population to a mineral deficiency and a high stress potential of the modern lifestyle.

But, according to observations, a frequent prerequisite for the development of food intolerance is dysbiosis of the intestinal microflora and the resulting "leaky gut" syndrome. Healthy gut relatively tight: permeable to nutrients, but impervious to pathogens and slag.

How are food intolerances and leaky gut related?

The partial permeability of the intestinal wall that we need is provided by the mucus covering it, in which about 2.5 kg of beneficial symbiont bacteria live.

Under the influence of various factors (among them, not the last place is occupied by irrational antibiotic therapy) the balance of the microbiota is disturbed, and the protective layer becomes thinner.

Some bacteria die irrevocably, others recover, but slowly, and the population of useful microflora suffers losses in both numbers and species diversity.

Therefore the body loses its ability to digest and assimilate certain types of food: we lose bacteria that secrete the necessary enzymes, digest what we cannot digest, and protect the intestinal wall from unwanted proximity to the yeast microflora.

To better understand exactly how excess yeast growth harms the body, participate in free webinar Dr. M. N. Vnukova"Latent candidiasis - a threat of the XXI century."

What happens if the intestines "leak"?

Aggressive food agents, toxins, bacterial, viral and fungal pathogens gain access to a thin layer of intestinal cells - enterocytes, and in fact immediately behind them are blood vessels.

Left without the protection of the microbiota, the intestine begins to "leak" - to let a variety of immunogenic debris into the blood, including protein chains.

Duty of the digestive system - to disassemble proteins to amino acids, otherwise they are already foreign peptides. Foreign genes to which the immune system reacts with hostility.

If in the intestine the task of digestion has not been coped, this is exactly what happens. B-lymphocytes produce immunoglobulins IgG and IgM... Antibodies glue the foreign component, and then immunocompetent cells trigger the mechanisms of cellular digestion and phagocytosis. But when the immune complex is too large, its destruction is accompanied by damage to the cells of the body.

It causes:

gastrointestinal symptoms - bloating, nausea, pain, diarrhea, constipation,
skin symptoms - rash, redness, dryness, dermatitis,
general symptoms - loss of appetite, increased fatigue, drowsiness.

Some symptoms resemble food allergies, but in addition to the immune mechanism, the clinic of the processes is also different.

Food intolerances rarely leads to rapidly developing life-threatening conditions, although this is also possible, for example if the patient is suffering celiac disease - systemic food gluten intolerance.

But it causes harsh antigenic overload, takes a significant capacity of the immune system and puts the "batteries" of the body. And when there are too many immune complexes, the body is forced to "archive" them, dissolve them in adipose tissues until better times. And as soon as the patient loses a little weight, how immunogenic debris ends up in his bloodstream againcausing symptoms of intoxication.

But for patients who suffer from chronic forms of food intolerance, competent selection of the diet and strict adherence to a diet, selected by an immunodietologist - the only way to health and well-being.

Are there mushroom allergies?

These products are not allergenic. They are helpful and safe. Despite this, some people experience an allergic reaction to mushrooms. In most cases, this pathology develops against the background of others. For example, hypersensitivity to mites that live in house dust. Various types of mushrooms are recommended for diets. It should be noted that they take a long time to digest and are difficult for the digestive system. Children are not recommended to introduce them into the diet until the age of 12. Often, doctors record poisoning with poisonous species. Therefore, in eating them, you must follow all the recommendations.

Benefits and low allergenic types

It will be useful for lovers of these products to find out if there is an allergy to mushrooms. To reduce the risk of its occurrence, it is recommended to use low-allergenic types. Champignon is considered safe and healthy of all varieties. It contains a large amount of amino acids and useful minerals.

It should be noted that this mushroom is easily perceived by the digestive system and is digested faster. In addition to this type, it is recommended to use boletus, oyster mushrooms, honey agarics. They almost never cause allergies.

Some experts claim that the most useful type of mushroom is chanterelles. This statement is only partially true. This species has a bright orange color. Everyone knows that red foods are high in allergens.Chanterelles are no exception.

For whom are champignons, oyster mushrooms and other mushrooms contraindicated?

The mushrooms contain protein. It provokes allergic reactions. Any such product is contraindicated in such cases:

Children under 12 years old. Their digestive system and immunity are not formed. The product entering the body is not digested. Even safe mushrooms are prohibited for children.
The presence of gastritis, urolithiasis, stagnation of the bile ducts, liver and kidney disease.
Do not take during pregnancy. This can lead to miscarriage or bleeding.

Allergy to oyster mushrooms is very rare. Use when contraindicated causes symptoms of food poisoning.

Are molds allergic?

Causes and reaction mechanism

The cause of hypersensitivity to fungi is different for each person. They consist of several parts, getting into the body, they cause allergies. Among them are mycelium, fungal spores. They are found in large fungi, microscopic fungal organisms. Often the cause of the pathology is mold. The main reasons for the development of allergies:

ingress of an irritant through the air;
frequent use of cheese with mold, which contains mold;
causative agents of human mycoses;
genetic predisposition;
chronic diseases of the digestive tract;
decreased immunity.

Allergy sufferers often develop new pathologies against the background of the underlying disease.

A hypoallergenic diet should be followed and new foods should be used with caution

Causes

Genetic disorders leading to a malfunction in the production of digestive enzymes. A typical example is gluten intolerance - celiac disease. With a lack of lactase, intolerance to dairy products develops.
Autoimmune disorders leading to the development of an inflammatory reaction in the intestinal mucosa.
Diseases of the digestive tract. Some pathological processes: gastritis, colitis, pancreatitis, etc. lead to the formation of food intolerance.
Eating food rich in biogenic amines, toxins, emulsifiers, flavor enhancers, etc. The intake of such substances disrupts the work of the gastrointestinal tract and interferes with the absorption of food.
Psychogenic food intolerance. It is the result of psychological trauma, usually inherent in childhood. For example, if a child is forcibly forced to eat semolina, in the future he will have a physical reaction of the body in response to the intake of an unwanted product.

Temporary food intolerance occurs with food poisoning or intestinal infection. A striking example is the condition after suffering a rotavirus infection. After recovery, there is an intolerance to dairy products for 2-4 weeks.

Food intolerance is called pseudo-allergy. It is believed that class G immunoglobulins (IgG) are involved in the development of a negative reaction. Not all doctors agree with this point of view. Many experts point out that IgG growth is a normal response to the intake of a new substance. If the body has become acquainted with an unusual product, it will not react to it. In this context, it is inappropriate to consider food intolerance as an immune response.

It's important to know:

Food intolerances are much more common in adults. A true food allergy almost always develops during childhood.
Intolerance to certain foods in children is associated with the immaturity of the digestive tract, and disappears with age. In adults, the cause of the pathology is more often an inflammatory reaction of the intestine, and over time the symptoms increase.

Lactose intolerance is considered a normal age-related phenomenon. Whole milk is a staple of nutrition for an infant, but over time the need for it decreases and the production of the enzyme decreases.Up to 30% of people over 25 years old suffer from milk sugar intolerance. A worsening of the condition is observed after consuming even a small volume of the product (0.5-1 glasses of whole milk).

Diagnostics

Only a doctor can determine the cause of an allergy after a comprehensive examination and anamnesis. A person can only guess which product caused his rejection.

Therefore, when the first signs of a violation appear, it is important to visit an allergist. This is especially necessary for people who suspect that fungi are the pathogen.

There are several ways to identify an allergen:

Blood test for immunoglobulin E and specific antibodies.
Provoking allergies with the help of a food additive (carried out after a complete relief of the attack, only after 2 weeks of refusal of drugs and a strict diet).
Skin tests for common allergens.

Thanks to analyzes and what is known from the medical history of the patient and his immediate family, the doctor can determine which substances are allergic. Most often, in addition to fungi, it includes other food products, as well as dust (dust mites), hair or skin cells of animals and pollen.

Food allergy: atopic and anaphylactic reactions of the human body to food antigens

In the body of a healthy person, in the absence of toxins and food infection, foods usually do not cause immunological reactions. Despite the genetic composition, which is not identical to the human genome, food passes the "face control" of the immune system, is routinely digested and assimilated.

But if immune tolerance is impaired for some reason, the body develops food allergy, food intolerance and diseases directly or indirectly associated with these processes. What is the difference between food allergies and food intolerances? Which of the two pathologies is more dangerous?

These violations common source, but different nature, although in both cases food antigens cause an immediate-type immune hypersensitivity reaction (GNT).

But allergies are characterized by I type, anaphylactic or atopic, and for intolerance - III type, immunocomplex.

How does an anaphylactic reaction develop with food allergies?

In the development of anaphylactic reactions to food allergens, there are 3 stages:

01Immune,

02Patochemical,

03Pathophysiological.

On immune stage, the body is sensitized - first contact with a food allergen. Production begins reagin - antibodies IgE and IgG to the antigens of this product.

Antibodies IgE are attached to mast cells and basophils, being systemically present in the bloodstream. Their synthesis and distribution throughout the body usually goes away from 5-7 days.

Further, on pathochemical stage, upon repeated contact with the allergen, an immediate reaction of the body occurs.

IgE antibodies attack antigens food, as a result of which inflammatory mediators are released: histamine, serotonin, kinins, heparin, tryptase, etc. These substances involve other cell populations in the reaction.

On pathophysiological stages due to the released pro-inflammatory mediators, tissue damage and organ dysfunctions begin.

In the case of food allergies, contact with the allergen is usually localized in the oropharynx and esophagus.

As a result of increased blood flow to the site of contact, it develops hyperemia, from here edema and risks of impaired pulmonary ventilation.

Because of increasing vascular permeability and expansion of arterioles, blood pressure drops, microcirculation is impaired and hypoxia develops.

Because of release of immunoglobulins and complement proteins, which are needed for the destruction and elimination of the allergen, the secretion of secretions (mucus) increases.
In organs with smooth muscles, a spasm occurs (bronchi, gastrointestinal tract).

If, as a result of the listed reactions, there is a total dysfunction of the respiratory or cardiovascular centers, without the provision of urgent medical care, this leads to death.

In less severe forms of shock, atopic reactions occur, more characteristic of food allergies than anaphylaxis.

They are also based on type I immune hypersensitivity reaction mechanisms, but with atopy:

a more pronounced role is played by hereditary predisposition,
it is difficult to establish the period of sensitization,
the reaction is provoked not only by proteins, but also by non-protein substances.

Most often, such a food allergy is diagnosed in children and manifests itself with cutaneous manifestations in the form of an atopic march. However, food allergy affects both adolescents and adults.

Symptoms of food allergies include:

itching of the mucous membranes and a feeling of swelling of the tissues of the oral cavity,
nausea and vomiting,
loss of appetite,
intestinal colic,
allergic enterocolitis,
diarrhea, constipation and other gastrointestinal symptoms.

There are frequent cases of the development of other atopic diseases along with atopic dermatitis: bronchial asthma, hay fever, allergic rhinitis. It is appropriate to talk about the susceptibility of such patients to cross-allergy and latent immune hypersensitivity reactions.

The presence of any allergic pathology indicates the body's predisposition to breakdowns in immunological tolerance. If this happens in relation to food, then a state of food maladjustment develops. - inconsistencies in the capabilities of the digestive system and secreted enzymes the patient's diet.

Other preventive measures

Those suffering from this type of allergy will have to abandon the cultivation of domestic plants. If the allergy is mild, you need to regularly treat the soil with antifungal agents.

You should pay attention to the air conditioner. It can spread dust and spores, which often leads to allergies, so it is advisable to choose devices that filter not only incoming air, but also blown into the room.

If there is no such device in the room, then the freshness of the air must be constantly monitored. Airing should be carried out at least 2 times a day.

Some fungi attack foliage and cut grass, so contact with them should be minimized. The same applies to plants, so you should not choose buildings for living where tree plantations and open water are located nearby. Doctors advise against planting garden plants that are vulnerable to pathogenic microorganisms. And if there is already a garden, then careful monitoring of its condition is required, regular medical and preventive procedures.

The causative agent of fungal allergy in the external environment

The omnivorous nature of mushrooms is amazing. The Mir station, which was abandoned for a while by the cosmonaut team, had to be flooded, since all its equipment was eaten away by molds.

Under the sarcophagus of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, despite the radiation, quite viable spores of microorganisms were found. These invisible aggressors destroy buildings, furniture, books.

Have you ever noticed how many "sensitive" people get runny nose, cough, itching and other allergy symptoms when visiting a local landmark - a church, castle, old house or even a new building with leaks and moldy walls?

Heat and humidity are the main conditions for the prosperity of the mushroom world, with a hundred species of which a person comes into contact. And for a weakened organism, allergies are often inevitable.

A few years ago, the medical community was shocked by the sensational news: in the department of the hospital, where especially strict rules of sterility were observed, the patients of the hospital still had an infectious infection.

And when we figured out the reasons, it turned out that the air conditioner was flooded with mushroom invaders. There are no clear norms for the content of mushrooms in the air. The biologists of Moscow State University undertook to control the concentration of their disputes, but such a public service, alas, has not been created.

Meanwhile, it is known that the saturation of the air with mushrooms is 1000 times higher than their relatives in allergenicity - pollen during the flowering period.

Most fungi are saprophytes (from the Greek words "rotten" and "plant"), which use the waste products of other organisms or decaying plant and animal tissues for their growth.

In autumn and winter, herbivorous scavengers, storage mushrooms, work, causing rotting of stored grain, fruits and vegetables. It is not for nothing that spring-autumn work in the garden, where there are many rotten leaves, is associated with the manifestation of fungal allergies.

Yeast-like fungi, within a few hours of being inside the human body, cause symptoms of allergic rhinitis and disrupt the normal functioning of the stomach.

Penicillus fungus can often be found on items stored in basements or as green mold stains on fabric. Poisonous spores absorbed during breathing penetrate into the human body, germinating in the finest filaments-mycelium.

How to help a child with a sensitive gastrointestinal tract

We decided that if the reaction after the eaten in the child did not arise immediately (as happens with allergies), but after a while: red dry spots appeared on the body or the stomach was upset, then most likely we are dealing with food intolerance.

What in this case is worth paying attention to:

food intolerances in children are often associated with an immaturity of the digestive system and insufficient amounts of essential enzymes

Therefore, it is extremely important to introduce all new products into the diet, starting with minimal doses (half a teaspoon), gradually increasing the portion. So the digestive system will be able to adapt to a new product, producing the necessary enzymes

The quality of the product itself, various preservatives and additives, dyes, antibiotics and other "chemicals" in the composition can provoke food intolerance. Therefore, the reaction may occur not to the product itself, but on something "Harmful" in its composition.

From my own experience, I was convinced of this: at home, in Russia, up to two years old, my daughter had rashes on her body almost after every new product. But when we arrived in Cyprus, where almost all products are farm-made and organic, the child suddenly began to eat absolutely everything on vacation (different types of meat, pancakes, bread, etc.). And the body perfectly accepted the innovations, never "rebelling".

Probably, at that moment, the enzymes necessary for successful digestion were formed in the digestive tract, since upon returning home, the daughter ate all these types of products bought in domestic stores without any problems.

Therefore, it is especially important for the first feeding and acquaintance with new products, if possible, to choose everything of high quality and natural

When we give a child cooked meat (say, a turkey), we do not know what the bird or animal ate before getting on our table. And if there is something "harmful" in the product, then it can provoke food intolerance. Therefore, for the first complementary foods, the meat should be cooked in several broths before offering it to the baby. It is better to pre-soak the potatoes in cold water for a couple of hours and only then cook.

After the first reaction to a product, you shouldn't give it up forever. Perhaps the dose was too large, and the gastrointestinal tract simply could not cope with such a volume. Of course, you need to notify the pediatrician about this, who sees the whole picture of your child's health. Later, after the symptoms disappear (after 1–2 weeks), you can try this product again, starting with micro doses and assess the body's response.

Red dry spots on the body that appear some time after eating can be disturbing and itchy. In this case, the doctor usually prescribes the intake and dose of antihistamines to reduce itching, as well as ointments for the skin. To remove toxins, doctors often prescribe sorbents.

And finally, there is such a thing as psychogenic food intolerance. This is rare and is usually associated with some kind of stress or fear. For example, if in childhood something was forcibly forced to eat, then it is possible that in adulthood a person will literally "not digest" this product.

Therefore, it is always worth remembering that a positive mother's attitude is equally important. If the child does not want to eat any product in any - do not insist, but offer something else. But necessarily smoothly and gradually - these are the main factors for successfully overcoming food intolerances.

Treatment

The main direction of treatment for an allergic reaction to mushrooms is to relieve its symptoms. But first, you need to remove the pathogen from the esophagus, especially if the food eaten contained a lot of fungi. After that, the patient is given drugs that suppress the hormone that causes all the signs of allergy.

In addition, the doctor prescribes a strict diet that excludes foods that most often cause food allergies from the diet. This avoids excessive stimulation of the mucous membranes and the immune system.

In addition to oral medications, injections are sometimes used so that the effect of treatment occurs faster. They are only allowed to be administered for severe allergy symptoms to avoid the side effects of suppressing histamine.

Sometimes antihistamines do not work, and then more serious treatment is required. In such cases, doctors prescribe a course of hormone therapy to relieve symptoms. Most often it is swelling of the airways, uncontrolled vomiting, problems in the work of the heart.

To eliminate skin manifestations, creams with antihistamines are used. Their main function is to reduce itching and redness by normalizing capillary circulation and reducing the stimulation of nerve endings.

First aid

When the first signs of allergy appear, it is necessary to give the person antihistamine tablets. If all the symptoms stop, then this is a mild form of the disease, and you can seek help from a therapist. The doctor will prescribe treatment, and after its completion - tests.

Until the doctors arrive, it is necessary to monitor the patient's condition. If the breath is in order, you can lay it on its back with raised legs or to one side.

When breathing problems are present, it is necessary to choose one of the positions in which the compression of the airways is minimal. Most often, this is a sitting position with raised shoulders. In the most severe cases, this position does not help much, and then the patient needs to bend forward and put his elbows on his knees.

It is important not to give drugs other than antihistamines and sorbents before the arrival of the medical team. Medicines can react or aggravate an allergic attack. In addition, a list of recently taken drugs and data on chronic diseases should be prepared.
