* Allergies manifest themselves in many ways. They develop in different parts of the body and differ in severity.
* Allergy, which usually encounters us in childhood, can occur in adolescence as well as in older age.

Asthma
80% of asthma cases occur before the age of 5. Due to the narrowing of the airways, coughing spells, wheezing, chest tightness and shortness of breath occur. These complaints disappear when the flexible air hose returns to its original state. Factors that influence the appearance of these attacks can be dust mites, molds and all kinds of allergens in the air we breathe. Two types of drugs are used in the treatment of asthma. One is protective and the other is breathtaking medicine for emergencies. Medications such as nose drops and sprays cannot completely cure the condition, but they help reduce symptoms. What to watch out for depends on what you’re allergic to.

what should you do
* Stay away from things that trigger your allergies (dust, mold, etc.).
* Be sure to exercise. Because sport increases respiratory functions. Do not prefer competitive sports like football, basketball, intensive training. There should be things you can do calmly, like swimming.
