Allergy: Allergy is the response of the body to a foreign substance. The body's immune system produces a response by releasing antibodies known as immunoglobulin E (IgE) to the foreign substance. The foreign substance called allergens can be harmless or can cause minimal to serious allergies in the body. Symptoms of an allergy include congestion, runny nose, swelling, watery eyes, weakness, nausea, hives (pale red bumps), rashes, sore throat, itching and burning sensation. The cause of allergy could vary from person to person. The allergy might occur due to food, insects, drugs, mould or plants. Treatment for allergies generally includes antihistamines.
