About Allergies
Allergies Overview
Common allergy symptoms include sneezing, a runny or blocked nose, itchy or watery eyes, rashes, hives, swelling, coughing, or mild wheezing.
Some allergies are seasonal, while others may happen after eating certain foods, taking medicine, being around animals, or coming into contact with irritants.
Mobi Doctor connects patients with licensed EU doctors for non-emergency online medical assessments. A doctor can review your symptoms, medical history, possible triggers, current medicines, and previous allergy episodes to help guide the next steps. Where clinically appropriate, this may include self-care advice, medication guidance, treatment options, or follow-up recommendations.
Seek urgent in-person medical care if you have difficulty breathing, swelling of the tongue or throat, severe dizziness, fainting, confusion, or a rapidly worsening reaction after food, medicine, or an insect sting. These may be signs of a severe allergic reaction and should not be managed online
