Pet Allergies treatment in Ciudad de México

Pet allergy is a reaction of the immune system to proteins present in the dander, saliva, urine, or hair of animals such as dogs and cats, which the body interprets as a threat.

Frequent symptoms: Sneezing, nasal congestion or discharge, watery and itchy eyes, cough, and, in some people, wheezing or skin rashes after contact.

Common causes: Individual sensitivity to these allergens, which can appear at any age and sometimes coexists with asthma or other allergies.

Which specialist treats it? The allergist is the right professional to identify the trigger; the pulmonologist or the dermatologist may step in depending on whether respiratory or skin symptoms predominate. If the complaints recur when you are near animals, assessing it with a specialist helps you better understand your case.
