Allergic reactions occurs when our immune system reacts to an allergen that can result in some allergic conditions such as allergic rhinitis, an inflammation of the nasal passages caused by allergens such as pollen, dust or mites causing symptoms like sneezing, runny nose, itchy eyes or throat. Treatment includes the use of antihistamines, decongestants and immunotherapy. Skin allergy occurs when the skin reacts to an allergen causing eczema or atopic dermatitis leading to red, itchy and inflamed skin, rashes and blisters. Treatment involves antihistamines and topical steroids to avoid the trigger. Asthma is a chronic condition affecting the airways in the lungs caused due to allergens, infections or environmental factors. It causes wheezing, shortness of breath and cough. It can be treated by inhalers and antibiotics to help manage the symptoms.

Urinary tract infections are conditions that affect the urinary system that includes the kidneys, ureters, bladder and urethra. Women are at higher risk than men. Symptoms like a strong urge to urinate that doesn’t go away, a burning feeling when urinating, cloudy urine, strong smelling urine that appears red or bright pink. It is caused by bacteria entering the urinary tract and spread in the bladder. If it is left untreated it can cause kidney damage. It is important to drink plenty of liquids especially water, emptying your bladder to flush out bacteria and avoid using irritating feminine products like sprays and powders to lower the risk of UTIs. When the urine becomes concentrated, it allows the minerals to crystallise and stick together. This leads to the formation of kidney stones. Symptoms are severe pain in the side and back, lower abdominal pain, painful urination, cloudy urine, fever and chills. Factors like dehydration, obesity, poor diet or a family history can contribute to stone formation. This can be managed by staying hydrated, dietary changes, calcium intake and medications to help prevent stone formation.

Infectious diseases are caused by pathogens such as bacteria, viruses or fungi. The diseases are spread through direct person to person contact or from the environment. Some common diseases are Dengue, transmitted by Aedes mosquitoes causing high fever, severe headache, joint and muscle pain and rashes. It can be prevented by use of repellents, bed nets and removing stagnant water where mosquitoes breed. Malaria is an infectious disease caused by plasmodium parasites transmitted by anopheles mosquitoes leading to fever, chills, headache, muscle pain, nausea and vomiting. Tuberculosis caused by tuberculosis bacteria affecting the lungs leads to persistent cough, chest pain, coughing up blood and night sweats. Typhoid caused by salmonella Typhi bacteria spread through contaminated food and water. It leads to symptoms like stomach pain, headache, high fever and loss of appetite. All this condition can be prevented by improved sanitation, proper food hygiene and taking proper vaccinations.
