The man was first confronted with an allergy to cold, it is unlikely to recognize the disease. He thinks he is somewhere easy, because a red nose, tears, runny nose, cough and other symptoms appear ordinary people, if they have picked up a virus or peremerzla. Alarming in this case only that all attributes tested at one time, when the patient falls into heat.
And the further, the worse a person who ignores the symptoms. It is therefore important time to pay attention to a problem that can be solved or change place of residence, or medical methods. To cope with this, unfortunately, is impossible.
Causes of allergy to the cold
As you know, an allergy - a kind of defense of our body, to be exact - the immune system. When an allergen gets inside, it starts to produce antibodies. The most common reason is the foreign proteins contained in food, pollen, medicines, etc.
By the way, this is why, until recently, even the doctors denied the possibility of allergic reactions to cold. Agree, in the snow, wind and air can not contain allergens that cause the immune system to respond our. So why, then, comes the allergy? It is almost impossible to appoint a full treatment without identifying and eliminating the cause. Otherwise you'll have to deal only with the consequences.
As established experts in the open areas of the body that are affected by cold air and wind, tissue proteins begin to connect, forming thus a kind of alien structure. It is so the body reacts violently sensitive person. The heat also terminated all the reactions, so there comes improvement.
Who is at risk
Allergy to cold, it can certainly occur each. But, according to statistics, more often still faced with this disease is the fair sex (age group - from 25 and older). Therefore, it is important to take precautions, especially if you are at risk.
As you know, a healthy person can not just an allergy to cold. Always it is preceded by something. Someone genetic predisposition, while others incorrectly treated with antibiotics or ill virus infection on his feet. The reasons can be quite a lot.
Perhaps you have recently had major surgery as a result of which your body is weak, decreased resistance and immunity in general. If this is not observed, you should go to the hospital and tested for the presence of infectious and parasitic diseases. It also may have problems with the gastrointestinal tract (ulcers, gastritis, etc).
Stress - is another reason. Remember the statement that all diseases - from nerves. Try as little as possible to get nervous, drink special soothing herbs and extracts. If possible, go to a psychologist or psychoanalyst, he helped you to deal with the emotions and experiences.
Diagnosis of allergy: how to recognize the problem
In fact, the symptoms of the disease in each individual may be different, since urticaria, rhinitis ending. But you know, no matter what the severity of allergy to the cold would not, in any case, need to be treated.
The fair sex is enough to spend ten minutes in the cold to the skin blisters formed. Pinkish-white education, if they try to probe, quite dense. At the same time they are incredibly badly scratched, like a mosquito bite.
Specially, we are experiencing an allergy to cold, very difficult to lead a normal life. These symptoms do not appear only in autumn and winter, when the temperature of the thermometer drops below zero. In this case, even an ordinary ice-cold water from the tap can cause deterioration. By the way, a man who is faced with this disease, also can not eat cold food (be it ice cream, cocktail, jelly). If he will drink or eat such, it can happen swelling of the tongue, throat, lips. And if you do not provide first aid, the patient can simply choke.
Note: we fully healthy human skin responds differently to cold temperatures. It whitens much if it, for example, attach a piece of ice, and then turns pink, if you put a warm towel. If there is a girl and the cold urticaria, then half an hour later, she usually goes. In allergy symptoms do not disappear so quickly: pimples and itching may not take place in a few days.
The appearance of dermatitis - this is probably one of the main signs of an allergy to cold. In such a person on the skin formed some red spot that begins to peel off, scratched and even inflamed. Place of dislocation - the person, ears, hands. In general, it affects all the open areas of the body, so if a lady wears nylon stockings, erythema can appear on the legs.
- Meteorological (Kholodov) cheilitis
Remember how we as a child and as a young man talking - not Kiss in the cold, and the lips were cracked. But if you use a sanitary or regular lipstick, avoid such tenderness in the cold, and the lips, the skin around the corners and hurt, covered with scales, they emerge so-called perleches it means - you are allergic. By the way, cheilitis can occur even after a girl just eat ice cream or drink cold water.
Once the allergies come in cold weather on the street, he immediately begins a bad cold, lays nose. All this may be accompanied by profuse watery eyes, coughing, sneezing. But should a sick person to go on the bus, an apartment, a shop where you will be warmer, these symptoms do pass.
In this case, begin to swell and redden eyelids as if you were the second day crying. This is accompanied by hypersensitivity to light, tearing. Help reduce the symptoms of drops that can be used only in a warm room. By the way, if you are constantly flowing tears in the cold, you need to see a doctor. The fact that the cause may be a fungus, mite (Demodex) etc.
- Bronhospastichesky reflex
This, in general, it is normal when a person has a cold a little discomfort when inhaling. Thus our body protects the body from cold temperatures, gradually giving easy to get used to the cold air, warming it slightly. Otherwise, we would immediately have earned pneumonia.
If bronchospasm persists for a long time, causing chest pain, immediately go to a warm place and otdyshites there. As soon as possible, immediately go to the hospital. These symptoms may indicate that after diseases (influenza, SARS, pneumonia), you still have any complications.
