The most common allergic conditions faced by elderly adults include asthma, cutaneous (skin) allergies, seasonal allergies, as well as food and drug allergies.

When dealing with allergies in older adults, it’s important to isolate the symptoms of other pre-existing conditions that may be brought on by offending allergens. Allergies can arise simply from combining the wrong medications, so always check with your doctor before adding a new pill or supplement to your regimen. Although there are more risks involved with allergic reactions in the elderly, most conditions are easily managed with the right therapies and medicines.
