Seasonal allergies .. Causes and treatment
Should be prevention and rapid control symptoms
Associated with some months of the year and the emergence of certain diseases chapters, which abound infection, called «seasonal diseases». One of these diseases «seasonal allergies or allergic pollen grains Seasonal Allergy (Pollen)» which appear in the season a specific year (for a period of two months to three months each year), which usually are months of June and July and August, a period summer. And this sensitivity occurs as a result the spread of pollen in the air of flowers and trees and grass in large quantities, causing the deterioration of asthma and seasonal allergic rhinitis and seasonal allergic eye and skin eczema.On this subject, talk to the «health» Dr. Muwaffaq Mohammed Said Tayeb, Consultant-immune diseases and allergies, Assistant Professor, Faculty of Medicine Rabigh at the University of King Abdul Aziz, he explained that he had found in the scientific research that 10% of the members of the community are suffering from symptoms of seasonal allergies Seasonal Allergy during the this time of year, that appear in the form of severe sneezing and whistling in the chest and itching in the eye. He added that the most important sources of pollen grains as follows:
* Trees; where he found that the pollen flying from the trees in large quantities at the beginning of the month of August of each year, such as olive trees and other trees.
* Grass, which is an important source of pollen grains of the month of September to February of the year, and the most important grass pollen grains exported in large quantities is Albermda trees (grass), which are grown in sports stadiums and parks.
* Flowers, which are an important source of pollen in the summer of last year.
* The increasing concentration of pollen grains in large quantities in the air during hot days, which show strong winds carrying very large amounts of pollen grains across great distances.
Symptoms of seasonal allergies
* Seasonal allergy symptoms begin to appear, usually, when the concentration of pollen grains to 30 the moon appears in a grain per cubic meter of air. But during the hot weather wet, after rain directly, the concentration of pollen grains increases the amount is too large for up to 500 grain of the moon appears in a cubic meter of air; Therefore, the allergy symptoms are often greatest after rain directly in patients who suffer allergic pollen grains .
As in the days where thunderstorms occur, the pollen grains to burst out starchy grains are very small to the air, which is very strong in agitating seasonal allergies; because they can reach places very deep in the lungs after inhalation due to the small size.
Preparedness to cope with allergies
* How to create a patient before entering the season? Answers the question d. Mowaffaq good pointing to the fact that the season is known as a year, should have been aware of the steps to create the patient's medical pre-season the following week, that a medical kit containing the following drugs, and used as follows:
* First, anti-histamine drugs are advised to use it when you see the sneezing or congestion in the nose or itching in the eye.
Second: the nasal spray contains cortisone is recommended to use it regularly; one puff per nose once a day pre-season week until the end of the season (once daily).
* Third Eye drops anti-allergic used when severe itching in the eye.
* Fourth: Some international schools are advised to carry grain cortisone (prednisolone) 5 milligrams, to be used only when necessary in severe cases and do not use regularly but under the guidance specialist doctor.
Avoid sensitivity
* Can avoid pollen during the season? And how to reduce our exposure to pollen? Answer d. Mowaffaq good that the avoidance of full pollen grains is very difficult during the season; to the fact that pollen grains are everywhere, but significantly reduce exposure to pollen during the season his role in the prevention and mitigation of allergic episodes .. And provided the following tips:
* The survival of patients inside the house on hot days in which the strong winds at times with a high number of pollen grains in the atmosphere.
* Close the car windows while traveling and installation of filter (candidate) pollen grains in the car to prevent the entry of pollen grains to the inside.
* Wear protective goggles during these days to prevent the arrival of pollen grains to their eyes, especially for farmers, especially those who are dealing with palm trees.
* Close the bedroom windows to prevent the arrival of pollen grains to it.
* Avoid places out in the grass or at least wear a muzzle on the face of industrial grass or put a wet handkerchief for farmers who are working in this particular area by cutting the grass and set things right.
* It can reduce the volatility of pollen grains to make the short grass down; because it excludes the remote party that holds inside pollen grains.
* Avoid keeping flowers in the house; they release pollen in the air inside the house.
* Avoid hanging laundry outside the house especially during the hot days in which strong winds; because the pollen grains stick to clothes washed and then fly after that, causing allergic reactions.
* Avoid sitting in the gardens in which flowers or grass in particular during the spring and summer.
* Wash your eyes with a solution farmers to rule out medical pure pollen grains to relieve itchy eyes and the use of petroleum jelly on the lower part of the nose to reduce the impact of pollen grains in irritation of the nose.
The doctor resorted to the steps of preventive at the outset and avoid the pollen, and then uses all the above treatments, but if the situation was serious, he goes to use the serum sensitivity before the season directly, which is a needle under the skin or points under the tongue, a so-called «immunotherapy for allergic »Allergy Immunotherapy Finally: Where seasonal allergies abound in Saudi Arabia? Abound in the cities where the tree thick, such as Abha, Taif and Hada, and in the cities where the palm trees in Qassim and around, and in Tabuk, but this does not prevent the spread partly in other cities, they also abound in the villages famous implant and farmers are too many
