Allergies are becoming increasingly common in Kerala due to changing weather, rising humidity, and increased exposure to indoor irritants. While medication offers relief, avoiding the right triggers is equally important to prevent flare-ups.
In this comprehensive guide, Dr. Prashobh, ENT & Allergy Specialist in Kerala, explains what you must avoid and how to protect yourself from recurring allergy symptoms.
Below are the major triggers you must avoid to control your allergy symptoms effectively.
