Allergies are increasingly common, yet many people lack understanding of their mechanisms and symptoms. Allergologist Brândușa Petruțescu discussed lesser-known signs of allergies, distinguishing them from food intolerances, and the importance of recognizing anaphylaxis. Symptoms like nasal congestion and dry cough can indicate allergies, affecting sleep quality and daily performance. Allergies differ from intolerances, which primarily cause digestive issues. Anaphylaxis is a medical emergency requiring immediate action, including calling emergency services and administering adrenaline. The rise in allergies is linked to complex factors, including microbial diversity exposure in early life, with urban children at higher risk due to reduced microbial contact.
