The Ultimate Guide to Mould Allergy Treatment in Delhi by Dr. Saumya Rathi

In cities like Delhi, where seasonal and climate change related factors like humidity,pollution create a conducive environment, mould allergies are a cmostly hidden maarm yet an often ignored concern. It can cause mild irritation to serious respiratory illness for those sensitive to mould exposure.  

Dr. Saumya Rathi is a renowned allergist and immunologist in Delhi that emphasizes the importance of early diagnosis and effective treatment to manage mould allergies and improve quality life. 

Here are the causes, signs, symptoms, and mould allergy treatment in Delhi, and how to handle the condition effectively, according to Dr. Rathi.

Understanding Mould Allergies

Moulds are a form of fungus that grows well in damp, warm and humid conditions. It spreads by exhaling tiny spores into the air and humans can inhale spores. Though most are unaffected by these spores, those with mould allergies suffer from an overactive immune response. The immune system mistakenly identifies mould spores as harmful invaders triggering symptoms such as sneezing, coughing wheezing and itchy eyes.

In Delhi, the city’s climate compounds the problem. Ali has formulated a plan to counteract the effect of erratic weather as the monsoon season with high volume of air pollution provides an ideal breeding ground for mold in homes, offices and public places alike. Common mould sources include damp walls, air conditioning units carpets and even household plants.

Symptoms of Mould Allergy

The degree of sensitivity and level of exposure determine the symptoms of mould allergy, which can greatly differ amongst individuals. Common symptoms include:

• Sneezing and runny nose

• Itchy or watery eyes

• Coughing and wheezing

• Skin rashes or hives

• Shortness of breath

• Fatigue and headaches

In severe cases mould can cause asthma attacks or in rare instances causes allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA), a condition affecting the lungs. Feeding Mouldgasms: In general, Dr. Saumya Rathi cautions that those who experience persistent respiratory symptoms should see a doctor to rule out mould allergy or some other underlying condition.

Diagnosing Mould Allergy

The first step to successful treatment is an accurate diagnosis. Dr. Rathi uses a combination of patient history, physical exam and diagnostic tests to identify mould allergies.

These tests may include:

Skin prick test: A tiny amount of mould allergen is put into the skin with a small needle. If a raise bump or discoloration occurs, it means an allergic response.

This is a test to determine the level of certain antibodies formed in reaction to mould spores in

Test of lung function: For patients with respiratory symptoms this test assesses lung function and helps identify asthma or other lung problems.

When the diagnosis is confirmed Dr. Rathi will work with the patient and formulate a patient-specific treatment plan.

A multi parametric approach via avoiding exposure medication and immunotherapy helps treat molluscum contagiosum in both children and adults.

Top remedies/prevention measures: 

• Allergy to mold can be managed effectively by avoiding the molds as far as possible and by following environment protecting measures. As recommended by Dr. Rathi also, the humidity level must be controlled within the indoor environment. Always maintain indoor humidity below 50% using air conditioners and dehumidifiers with special regard given to rooms with heavy traffic of people.

• Repairs must be made immediately to eliminate leaks and proper ventilation installed in bathrooms, kitchens and elsewhere. Health Canada also advises replacing carpets with hard flooring, and dealing with moisture-prone areas, like kitchens and bathrooms with mould-fighting cleansers where possible. Use mold-killing cleansers and cleaners on mold-infected areas.

• The use of air purifiers with a HEPA filter can help evacuate mold spores from the air in an indoor setting. Go digital and consume their services. 

• Outdoor hobbies: Peak seasons for mold are the fall period. On bad days, they should minimise time spent outside in open areas.

2. Medications

Medicines help people with allergy feel better during daily activities. These products offer relief:

Antihistamines: The body creates histamine during allergic reactions. These drugs stop this process to cut down sneezes, itches as well as nose drips.

Nasal sprays: The medicine travels straight into nose passages to reduce swelling, which stops stuffiness and coughs.

Decongestants: This medicine opens up blocked noses fast. But people need to limit its use or their noses become more blocked.

Leukotriene blockers: These stop certain body chemicals from triggering allergy signs.

3. Immunotherapy

At times patients experience severe reactions that persist. In such cases Dr. Rathi proposes immunotherapy as a solution. The treatment introduces tiny amounts of substances that cause allergies into the body. Through this method the body learns to resist these substances as time passes. Doctors give immunotherapy with
