How to Determine the Severity of Allergic Reactions

Allergy is the overreaction of the immune system to harmless substances after entering our body affecting 1 in every 3 people.

Allergy is defined as the type I reactions or Immediate Hypersensitivity as a result of
overproduction of Immunoglobulin E (IgE), a class of allergic antibody by the immune system against a harmless substance with an aim to mediate the release of histamine and other mediators from mast cells and basophils, that lead to an allergic reaction, including mucus secretion, sneezing, itching, etc.

Food allergy is a result of overproduction of antibody Immunoglobulin E (IgE) of the immune system in responding to harmless ingredients in the foods such as peanut, shrimp, crayfish, lobster, walnuts, peanuts, soy, legume, etc., after eating.

Food allergy is severe food intolerance, in some cases, it may be fatal or hospitalized.

A. Food allergy can be classified into 2 types, depending on the length of the reaction of the immune system
1. Fixed food allergy
Fixed food allergy is defined as symptoms of allergy appeared immediately as soon as the allergic food is eaten.

2.  Marked (Cyclic) allergies
This types of allergic symptoms may take longer to take effects, usually, hour or days after the allergic food is eaten. Coiled foods allergy affects 90% of the patient of all cases.

B. How to determine the severity of the allergic effects
Depending on the allergy stimulating effect, some researchers suggested to scale the severity from 1 to 4 and followed by degeneration scale, but from -1 to -4
1. The severity scale from +1 to +4
+1. The first level of stimulation
If there are no symptoms at all or If the patient is alert and function morally after allergic is eaten
+2. The second level of stimulation
The patient has become irritable, hyperactive, tense, thirsty, etc. after suspected allergic food is eaten
+3. The third level of stimulation
The patient has become hypomanic, aggressive, apprehensive, etc.
+4. The fourth level of stimulation
The patient has become a mania, agitation, overexcitement, etc.

Other severity scales may also be used for all allergies, such as  1-6. 6 being the most severe. I think 0 is nonallergic.

2. Degeneration scale from -1 to -4
-1. If a patient is experiencing symptoms of the reaction of a runny nose, hive, diarrhea, etc.
-2. If a patient is experiencing symptoms of the reaction of tiredness, fatigue, swelling etc.
-3. If a patient is experiencing symptoms of the reaction of depression, mental disturbance, confusion, mood change, etc.
-4. If a patient is experiencing symptoms of the reaction of severe depression, paranoia, etc.
