Whether mite allergy needs desensitization treatment needs to be judged according to the patient’s specific condition. If the patient’s mite allergy symptoms are mild, they can be relieved by general treatment and medication, without desensitization treatment; if the patient’s mite allergy symptoms are serious and recurring, they can be treated by desensitization.
1. No need of desensitization treatment: for some patients, mite allergy only occurs occasionally, especially when the body’s immunity is low, and less often occurs in normal times; and the symptoms of mite allergy are not serious, but only a slight rash and itching.
For this situation, it is not necessary to carry out desensitization treatment, can be relieved by detaching from the dust mite environment, maintaining personal hygiene as well as home hygiene, etc.; secondly, it can be appropriate to take oral antihistamines for anti-allergy treatment, such as loratadine, cetirizine and so on.
2. Desensitization treatment is needed: If the mite allergy of patients is more serious, especially the recurrence of mite allergy, and the symptoms of each attack are more serious, not only can lead to rash, but also can induce respiratory allergy, digestive allergy, and anaphylaxis and other serious phenomena. Desensitization is required.
Desensitization therapy, also known as allergen-specific immunotherapy, is a treatment that controls or reduces allergy symptoms by repeatedly exposing the patient to gradually increasing doses of allergen extracts, prompting the system to develop tolerance to such allergens.
Therefore, whether mite allergy needs desensitization treatment, you can go to the hospital to improve the relevant examination, under the guidance of the doctor to make a reasonable choice.
