Common allergy symptoms
If an allergen causes a hypersensitive reaction, your immune system treats it as an invader. In response, the body reacts with a protective, chemical chain reaction that may produce some symptoms, such as:
- Dark circles under the eyes
- Itchy nose, roof of the mouth, throat or eyes
- Nasal congestion
- Runny nose
- Sneezing
- Watery eyes
For some, allergies can also trigger symptoms of asthma, a chronic condition that causes the inflammation or narrowing of the airways.
Treatment options we offer
To care for your unique condition, we might use injections or medications. If your situation is life-threatening, we recommend seeking emergency care as soon as possible.
