Many people suffer from allergies, but few realize that there is help available. Allergies can be extremely debilitating, preventing sufferers from enjoying their daily lives. With the right treatment, however, allergies can be effectively managed. There are a variety of treatments available, and an allergist can help to determine which one is right for you. In some cases, medication may be all that is needed to control symptoms. For more severe allergies, however, immunotherapy may be recommended. This involves receiving regular injections of allergens in order to build up immunity. With proper treatment, it is possible to effectively manage allergies and live a normal life.
Allergies are thought to affect more than 1 in 4 people in the UK at some point in their lives.
