If from childhood allergies to cats: what to do?
Christina asks:
Hello, I have a childhood allergy to cats on cats, the symptoms are always the same - plentifulness and rhinitis. Recently, exactly the same reaction appeared in rats. My friend read about Siberian kittens,( which produce a small amount of protein, which causes allergies) and we decided to give a lot of happiness. They brought me a 2-month-old girl, a light color.
Two days before that, I often sneezed,( walking in cool weather, lightly dressed) all day stroking a cat-nikakoy reaction!(usually advancing a couple of minutes) went to work. In the middle of the working day, a dry cough and rhinitis started, my head ached. Has drunk diazolinum - has not noticed changes. This intensified with every hour until the very evening. At home, after a large quantity of tea, it became a little better. While still left in the other room( I brought my bedroom only once).
I drank an zodak - it became a little easier to breathe, but my nose hurt like that. Going to sleep. After awakening, the throat is very sore, it suffers from scratch, the nose hurts, rattles are heard. Contact with the animal is stopped, it does not get better. To the doctor now there is no possibility to go, only has moved another city, therefore I ask the help from you. If the allergy has always manifested itself with a stream of tears and red eyes, can it manifest itself differently this time? No redness glazed skin was not, only a cough, discharge from the nose and weakness.
Answer:
Christina, You must remember for the rest of your life that contact with cats must be deleted once and for all, how much they would produce "that protein".And with rats too. Allergy is a specific disease, the symptoms can be aggravated with each new contact. And even pairs of a substance that is an allergen can cause an allergic reaction.
Given that at the time of contact with the kitten you already had catarrhal symptoms, and, therefore, the body was weakened, against the background of a viral infection the allergy could give a more severe reaction. Or maybe you have a flu or adenovirus infection. But these are all assumptions, because in absentia without examination, auscultation( listening), body temperature measurement, it is impossible to determine the diagnosis. A diagnostic error in your case may be fraught with severe complications right up to the laryngeal edema, so you urgently need to go to the therapist. Even if you moved to another city, no one canceled urgent care, you can see a doctor on duty at any clinic.
