Allergy shots are given to some people who have persistent and disruptive allergy symptoms.

An allergic sensitivity is a reaction of the immune system to a foreign invader, a substance that is not native to your body.

Most people with asthma or hay fever or other outdoor allergies think of their home as a haven where they can escape their allergies.

If you know you have an allergic reaction to peanuts, for example, do not eat them. Go out of your way to avoid foods prepared with or around peanuts

An allergic reaction is the body's way of responding to an invader. When the body senses a foreign substance, called an antigen, the immune system is triggered.

Some people experience chronic sinusitis despite adequate therapy with antibiotics and drugs for relief of symptoms.

The diagnosis of a sinus infection is usually made based on a medical history assessment and a physical examination.

Home care can help open the sinuses and alleviate their dryness.

From the occasional eyelash that wanders uninvited into your eye to the high-speed missile impact from an ejected metal shard, you may find yourself with something in your eye (medically referred to as a foreign body).

Keeping your follow-up appointments is important.
