The doctor talked about ways to prevent summer allergies.

Allergist Lyudmila Makhovaya on Thursday, June 25, told how to prevent summer allergies.

In conversation with aif.ru The specialist noted that two types of allergic reactions are most common. According to her, pollinosis and photodermatitis are most often aggravated.

According to the specialist, seasonal rhinoconjunctivitis develops during the flowering period of meadow and weeds, and photodermatitis occurs due to exposure to ultraviolet radiation and is manifested by redness, itching and rashes on exposed skin areas. In such cases, it is recommended to limit exposure to the sun during its peak hours, wear closed clothing, and use high-SPF sunscreens.

The expert noted that therapy chosen in advance by a doctor and travel planning based on the flowering calendar help to reduce the risk of exacerbation. At the same time, allergen-specific immunotherapy remains the most effective treatment method, which must be started several months before the flowering season.

In addition, the Flywheel reminded of cross-allergy. So, when reacting to pollen from weeds, it is worth using watermelon, melon, cucumbers and tomatoes with caution, and if allergic to birch pollen, raw apples, apricots, cherries and other stone fruits.

She also advised against abusing foods with a high histamine content, such as strawberries, strawberries, papaya, pineapple and citrus fruits, as they can provoke severe skin and gastrointestinal reactions.
