What Is an Allergic Reaction?

How to Prevent an Allergic Reaction

There are many ways to prevent an allergic reaction, depending on the form you have. Common approaches include:

– Keep a journal to know which allergens may trigger or worsen your symptoms. Try to track when symptoms happen, what helps improve them, what you eat, and similar information.

– Avoid common allergens, such as dust, dust mites, pet dander, smoke, or pollen. This is important if you have not identified the exact triggers of your allergic reactions.

– Wear a medical necklace or bracelet, especially if you have a severe allergic reaction. This device will send notification in emergency to let your family member or friends know that you are experiencing serious symptoms and need medical attention.[9]
