Oral Food Allergy Syndrome (OAS), also known as Pollen-Food Allergy Syndrome, is an allergic reaction caused by cross-reactivity between certain proteins in fresh fruits, vegetables, and nuts and those found in pollen. This condition mainly affects individuals with seasonal allergies, particularly hay fever.
The symptoms of OAS typically appear within minutes of eating trigger foods and may include:
Itching or tingling in the mouth, lips, or throat
Swelling of the lips, tongue, or throat
Scratchy throat
Mild swelling in the face
In rare cases, difficulty breathing or anaphylaxis
If symptoms go beyond mild irritation, such as difficulty breathing or swelling of the throat, seek immediate medical attention. You can contact our specialists at +91-8171984555 or +91-7417423545.
OAS occurs due to a cross-reaction between proteins found in certain foods and those in pollen. Some common pollen-food cross-reactions include:
Birch pollen allergy: Apples, peaches, carrots, almonds
Ragweed pollen allergy: Melons, bananas, cucumbers
Grass pollen allergy: Tomatoes, potatoes, oranges
Doctors diagnose OAS based on a patient’s medical history, symptoms, and allergy testing. Skin prick tests and blood tests may be used to confirm the condition.
Homeopathy offers a natural and holistic approach to managing OAS. Some commonly used homeopathic remedies include:
Allium Cepa: For itching and burning sensations in the mouth
Apis Mellifica: For swelling of the lips and throat
Natrum Muriaticum: Helps reduce sensitivity to allergens
