Typhoid:-
Typhoid fever is a communicable bacterial infection usually caused by salmonella
and carried by contaminated milk, water, or food. Typhoid fever affects the
large intestine, and symptoms include high fever, headache, and rash.
Hay
Fever:-
Seasonal allergy, commonly called hay fever, occurs when microscopic spores
and pollen land on the tissues lining the nose and sinuses. The immune systems
of persons allergic to these particles responds to them as if they were bacteria
and releases a substance known as histamine. The release of histamine then causes
the unpleasant symptoms: stuffy, runny nose; postnasal drip; itchy throat; watery
eyes. Violent sneezing attacks are also quite common, often with 10 or 20 sneezes
in a row. Severe cases can lead to headaches and earaches, soreness in the eyes,
and even hives. Asthmatics and other people with breathing problems may suffer
from shortness of breath. Although they are rare, serious complications from
seasonal allergies can occur and may include chronic loss of the sense of taste
and smell, chronic ear infections which can lead to hearing loss, distortion
of the bones in the face and mouth from nasal pressure, and the inability to
breath through the nose, which can lead to dental problems in children.Several
treatments are available which can reduce the severity of hay fever reactions.
Antihistamines are very effective at blocking the allergic reactions, but most
tend to cause drowsiness. Decongestants help clear clogged nasal and sinus passages.
Steroids can be used to control itching and inflammation. In some cases, a program
of injections may decrease sensitivity to a particular substance.It is important
to consult your physician or pharmacist before using any over-the-counter drugs
or treatments. They will be able to advise you on proper usage and can warn
you of possible side effects and contraindications.
