Overview
What is Allergy?
Allergies occur when the immune system overreacts to harmless substances such as pollen, dust, food, or medication. This overreaction can cause varied symptoms, from mild discomfort to severe reactions. Proper diagnosis and management can significantly improve the quality of life for individuals with allergies. At Dr. KM Cherian Institute of Medical Sciences, we provide comprehensive allergy care through our specialized Allergy Clinic, equipped to diagnose and treat various allergic conditions.
