Dr. In his statement, Bagis stated that allergy, which is the name given to symptoms such as nasal congestion and runny, shortness of breath, itching and blistering on the body, is a defense mechanism of the body, contrary to popular belief, and said, "When a foreign object enters our body, our body activates some mechanisms to prevent the entry of that foreign object." Most people are unaware of this situation and it is overcome without realizing it. However, sometimes when these mechanisms come into play much more than usual and in a flaming manner, they cause more harm than good to the person. For example, in a dusty environment, the nasal flesh swells and prevents dust from entering the body. It protects against foreign substances entering the respiratory tract. "It narrows the lung airways and prevents these substances from reaching the lower regions. In allergic patients, the nasal concha in the nose swells, causing nasal congestion, and the disease in the lungs, called asthma," he said.
He explained that allergy occurs as a result of the interaction of genetic and environmental factors. . Dr. Haktan Ergin Bagis said, "Susceptibility to allergies is usually genetic. It is more common in people with light and yellow skin, those living in Northern European countries, those living near the sea or in humid environments. These allergens can be effective from simple dust and pollens to the sun. In addition, foods consumed, dyes and "Chemical substances can also cause allergy symptoms in people to a considerable extent. Meanwhile, allergy symptoms are predominantly seen in children. Milk and chocolate are the two most common food factors for children. We recommend that patients with allergy symptoms undergo examination in ENT and dermatology departments," he said. p>
Op explains that the main solution for allergic patients is to eliminate the factor that causes allergy. Dr. Haktan Ergin Bagis noted the following:
"The simplest test for this is the allergy skin test. In this test, we try to reveal the allergenic substance by contacting the most common substances with the skin. However, the skin test does not A negative result does not mean that the person will not be allergic. In cases where the cause is not found or the cause is removed, we move to the second stage with drug treatment that will block this mechanism. Medical treatment must continue for at least 2 months. Get an answer from this treatment. In cases where it is not possible, we resort to surgical treatment, which is the last stage. Nasal congestion is caused by nasal flesh and bone curvatures. By correcting bone curvatures in our patients, we allow air to pass through more easily. We also prevent swelling by shrinking the nasal concha using radiofrequency or reduction methods. Thanks to these latest developments in medicine, allergies are no longer a problem in our country. However, we still recommend that patients first definitely change their standard of living and stay away from dusty, closed, humid and smoke-filled environments."
