Allergist and Immunologist,  's  Response
Hello,

Thank you for asking at HCM.

I went through your queries and would like to make suggestions for you as follows:

1) Will allergy get cured permanently:

In modern science, allergen specific immunotherapy is a hope for long term relief from allergy symptoms as it works on immune system. Allergen specific immunotherapy is usually prescribed by Allergists-Immunologists.

2) Will it affect other parts of body:

As you have wheezing, nose & eye symptoms, you are allergic from air-borne allergens. Aeroallergens usually cause allergic rhinitis, allergic conjunctivitis, allergic asthma etc. It important that they are treated promptly. For example, if allergy rhinitis is not treated promptly, it could lead to long standing nose obstruction and can affect hearing, sinuses, etc.

Rarely aeroallergens can cause dermatitis or urticaria.

However, if you are allergic, it is possible that you develop allergies to other allergens with progression of time. Allergen specific immunotherapy can halt this process of progression of allergy.

3) Not all, but 40-60% of children of allergic parents can have allergies. It is difficult to say which children will get allergy from parents. The chance will be higher if both parents are allergic.

Hope above information will solve your queries.

Should you have any further query, please feel free to ask at HCM.

Wish you the best of the health ahead.

Thank you & Regards.
