Allergy occurs when a person reacts to substances in the environment that are harmless to most people. These substances are known as allergens.

Allergens are found in dust mites, pets, pollen, insects, ticks, moulds, foods and some medications.

The symptoms and signs of allergies are common to other medical conditions, so always see your doctor for professional diagnosis and treatment.

Allergy symptoms can range from mild to severe. The most severe type of allergic reaction is anaphylaxis, which may cause death without prompt administration of adrenaline (epinephrine). (Better health channel )

For mild allergies, effective treatments are available to manage or treat allergy symptoms. Call today to see one of our doctors on 03 8336 9333 or book online at www.alfredroadmedicalcentre.com.au

Coughs and Colds - Are you confident managing them at home? Do you know how to reduce the spread? What are the signs that it might be something more serious? When should you see a doctor?

**Most 'Colds' are viral illnesses, however you can still benefit from advice on management of symptoms, and preventing the spread of the virus to others. Most importantly, knowing what to expect through the 'normal' course of a viral illness can help you to identify when things are not going well, and when you need to see a Doctor. We know that antibiotics do not work for viral illnesses, but it can still be important to see your Doctor for advice and a check-up.**

June is national Bowel Cancer awareness month. Each week, around 300 people are diagnosed with the disease and 100 will lose their lives. Around one in 13 Australians will develop bowel cancer in their lifetime, and the disease often starts without any symptoms.

The good news is that over 90% of bowel cancers can be successfully treated when detected early.

Regular screening and early detection will help to reduce deaths. If current participation in the bowel screening program increases from 40% to 60%, research shows that over 84,000 deaths could be prevented by 2040.

The month marks an opportunity to promote greater awareness of bowel cancer and regular screening across the community through events and campaigns to inform Australians about the signs and symptoms of bowel cancer, and the importance of screening for early detection and prevention . (Source NCSR)
