• Consuming probiotic-rich foods aids in the development of the immune system's resistance to allergies.
• Consume foods rich in quercetin (a flavonoid), such as apples, cherries, spinach, broccoli, and blueberries.
• Include seasonal fruits, vegetables, whole grains, healthy fats, and fish in your daily diet.
• Limit your intake of foods that may cause allergies, such as dairy products, soy, eggs, and nuts.
• Limit the consumption of foods high in sugar that may aggravate inflammation.
• Reducing stress and having a regular sleep schedule might be beneficial.
• Avoid processed meats, refined carbohydrates, sugar, trans fats, and alcohol, as they may aggravate inflammation.

• Gargling with salt water and inhaling steam would be beneficial.
• Never exchange personal objects that have been contaminated with bodily fluids or blood, such as razor blades or toothbrushes.
• Never share used needles and other injections or medical devices, as they may spread viruses.
• Consume a well-balanced diet. Consume vitamin and nutrient-rich foods like dark green, yellow, orange, and red vegetables and fruits to enhance your immune system. Choose lean protein and whole carbohydrates over-processed foods.
• Consume no raw meat or eggs. Consume boiled and cooked meat, poultry, or seafood.
• If you have nausea or vomiting, eat bland, low-fat foods and avoid spicy or greasy foods.
• Spending time with family or doing whatever makes you happy might help you minimise emotional and physical stress.

Allergy: Allergy is a condition that occurs when the immune system reacts to a foreign substance that is typically not harmful to your body. These foreign substances are known as 'allergens.' Allergic condition varies from person to person. Some might be allergic to certain foods, medications, and seasonal allergies like hay fever, pollen, or pet dander. The symptoms of an allergic reaction include itching, rash, scratchy throat, itchy or watery eyes, hives or itchy red spots on the skin, or allergic rhinitis (which causes sneezing or nasal congestion).

Inflammation: It is a response generated by damage to living tissues. This response is a defence mechanism to protect the body from injury, infection, or disease. The symptoms of inflammation include redness, pain, swelling, heat, or loss of function. Inflammation can be caused by certain medications, acute and chronic conditions, exposure to foreign materials or irritants your body can't eliminate easily. 

Coronavirus disease (COVID-19): Covid-19 is an infectious disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Most persons who become ill with Covid-19 will have mild to moderate symptoms and recover without specific therapy. Some, though, will become extremely unwell and require medical assistance. The virus can spread from an infected person's mouth or nose in microscopic liquid particles when they cough, sneeze, speak, sing, or breathe. Fever, cough, tiredness, and loss of taste or smell are the most common side effects of Covid-19.
