Allergic respiratory diseases encompass a range of conditions triggered by an exaggerated immune response to harmless airborne substances. Pollen, dust mites, pet dander, mold spores, and specific food items are among the prevalent allergens. Allergic rhinitis, commonly known as hay fever, is a prevalent allergic respiratory disease characterized by symptoms such as sneezing, nasal congestion, itching, and watery eyes. Asthma, another common allergic respiratory condition, involves inflammation of the airways, leading to wheezing, coughing, chest tightness, and difficulty breathing. Diagnosis typically involves medical history, physical examination, and allergy testing. Management strategies include allergen avoidance, pharmacotherapy (antihistamines, corticosteroids, bronchodilators), and allergen immunotherapy for long-term relief. Preventive measures include maintaining a clean living environment, using air purifiers, and practicing good respiratory hygiene. Allergic respiratory diseases significantly impact quality of life, and ongoing research aims to develop targeted therapies for better management and prevention.
