The flu is nearing its end, while the seasonal allergies have just begun. Even in health centers, the flow of patients and visits has shifted to the specialty of allergology.
For doctors, this is just the beginning of the pollen season, which, unlike the flu, lasts for weeks. Global warming has not only prolonged the spring season but also the problems of allergy sufferers.
"There is a major difference between the flu and allergies. An allergy does not have a fever. It does not last 6-7 days, but more than 6 weeks. With global warming, the period of spring, pollen, blooming plants and the suffering of patients has been extended."
According to the American Academy of Allergy, 1 in 3 people in the world experience allergies. While for pediatric ages, it is considered the first chronic disease.
In recent decades, doctors have been finding that environmental factors are becoming more dominant than genes for the development of allergies. Pollen allergies manifest with sneezing, runny nose, watery eyes, and itchy eyes, writes A2 CNN.
In our country, the most affected are children and active people in urban areas. Doctors recommend being careful with allergies, as untreated allergies can lead to asthma. (A2 Televizion)
