Living with Allergies
Living with Allergies
Allergy management goes beyond treatment. You also need to take steps to reduce your contact with your allergens (things that trigger your allergies). Managing your environment combined with treatment can help you have better quality of life.
The allergic march – also called the atopic march – is a term that describes the natural progress of allergic disease over time. Allergic diseases usually start in early childhood. Understanding the allergic march is an important part of disease research, treatment, and management.
