Allergy Season in South Africa – Here’s What Every Parent Should Know

Feeling sniffly or noticing unexplained rashes lately? You’re not alone. Our spring and early-summer pollen counts are climbing, and common triggers like grass, dust mites, mould, and certain foods are everywhere. But did you know some everyday medicines can also set off allergic reactions?

💊 Medicines that can trigger allergies
Antibiotics — such as penicillin
Pain relievers — like aspirin, ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin), and naproxen (Aleve)
Chemotherapy — drugs for cancer treatment
Autoimmune treatments — for conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis
Some vaccines — or their ingredients, for example polyethylene glycol (PEG)

Reactions can range from a mild skin rash to serious breathing difficulties. If you or your child have ever had hives, swelling, wheezing, or sudden dizziness after taking a medication, it’s important to find out exactly what’s causing it.

At Allergy Assist (Pty) Ltd, we offer gentle, non-invasive testing that screens for over 300 allergens—including foods, chemicals, medicines, and environmental triggers. Our friendly team explains each step in plain language, so you leave with clear answers and a personalised plan.
