Allergies are problems that affect quality of life both physically and mentally. Currently, there is a treatment called "Sublingual Immunotherapy" (SLIT) that helps the body build immunity to allergens naturally. It is suitable for those who are afraid of needles or find it inconvenient to receive allergy shots, especially those allergic to dust mites. SLIT helps control allergic symptoms in the long term, reduces medication use, and prevents complications from allergies in the long run.
Urticaria, though not life threatening, can affect normal daily life – especially the rashes from Chronic Urticaria which can become a source of irritation in the long run.
Influenza (flu) and COVID-19, the pandemic illness caused by SARS-CoV-2, are both contagious respiratory diseases, affecting the lungs and respiratory symptoms.
Allergic diseases and asthma in children tend to be genetically influenced. Therefore, if either or both parents suffer from allergies, there is a likelihood that their children might also experience symptoms of allergic diseases.
