A chronic cough is not a disease in itself. It is a sign of something wrong. That’s why it’s important to see your doctor and find out the cause.

Food allergy and food intolerance are commonly confused, as food intolerance symptoms sometimes resemble food allergy symptoms.

Besides causing discomfort, chronic hives can interfere with daily activities, but there are many ways to manage the condition even if you don’t know its cause.

An allergy skin test is the most reliable form of allergy testing and is still the mainstay of allergy testing. Skin prick testing has proven to be more accurate than blood testing in diagnosing allergies.

People with CVID are highly susceptible to infection from foreign invaders such as bacteria, or more rarely, viruses and often develop recurrent infections.

If you suspect a food is the cause of your allergic reactions, don’t waste years trying to self-diagnose. Instead, talk to a certified allergist about an oral food challenge.

If you have suffered from seasonal allergies for a while now and allergy medicines such as Zyrtec and Flonase do not alleviate your symptoms, allergy shots could be your best option.

Allergies can interfere with sleep, disrupt daily activities, decrease productivity, and sometimes lead to sinus infections. Knowing how to control your seasonal allergies is crucial.

Contact dermatitis causes localized rash or irritation on skin from a direct contact with foreign substance. The rash isn’t contagious or life-threatening, but it can be very uncomfortable until it goes away.

There is currently no cure for atopic dermatitis, but treatment can prevent symptoms from worsening, relieve the pain and itch, prevent infections from developing, and stop the skin from thickening.
