Episode Synopsis


If you want to manage allergies in the most effective way, this guide from Valleant gives you all the information you need. Once you read it, you'll be in a much better position to reduce severe symptoms, find treatments, and enjoy your life!
The most common allergies fall into several categories, according to Valleant's research. The first category includes environmental triggers like pollen, dust, and mold, which affect millions each year. Another category is food allergies, while a third involves reactions to substances that come into direct contact with the skin.
While many people get respiratory symptoms like stuffed-up noses and itchy eyes, others break out in rashes or experience swelling. The guide points out that in severe cases, dangerous complications can develop, including throat swelling or a sudden drop in blood pressure.
It breaks down modern allergy testing into clear, practical steps. If you want to test yourself for allergies, a skin prick test can pinpoint problem substances in just 15–20 minutes by watching for tell-tale reactions on the skin. If a skin test is not possible, a blood test administered by a doctor is a safe option.
The publication walks you through all the over-the-counter options that most people try first when dealing with allergies, such as antihistamines and decongestants, which help manage common problems like itchy eyes and sneezing.
The guide's final section focuses on a key topic: what to do when allergies become emergencies.
If you're experiencing anaphylaxis—a life-threatening allergic reaction—getting epinephrine quickly can mean the difference between life and death. If you're at risk of severe reactions, Valleant stresses the importance of having a clear emergency plan and keeping the right medications within immediate reach.
In addition to managing allergies, Valleant's guide fits into the company's bigger goal of helping you live longer, healthier lives through science-backed health information. It connects allergy care with overall health, giving you practical ways to stay healthy at every age.
