What Are the Symptoms of an Allergy?
An allergy arises when your immune system mistakes a harmless substance (allergen) for a threat.
This triggers an inflammatory response, leading to symptoms that vary depending on the allergen
and the individual. These signs can help you identify a potential allergy and seek medical attention.
Common allergy symptoms often involve the respiratory system. You might experience a runny or
stuffy nose, accompanied by frequent sneezing. Itchy, watery eyes are another telltale sign. In some
cases, difficulty breathing, wheezing, or coughing can occur, indicating a more serious reaction.
