It has been proved that all kinds of chronic diseases contribute to the onset of cold allergy: tonsillitis, cholecystitis, carious teeth, as well as helminths and thyroid dysfunction.

Therefore, try to prepare in advance for the surprises of winter.
The main thing is not to engage in self-medication. You need the help of an allergist doctor who will determine what kind of cold allergy you suffer and will choose an adequate treatment for this ailment.
With a cold allergy, the doctor will recommend immediate treatment of chronic diseases. Are you surprised? In vain! After all, they represent a constant focus of infection. And the specialist will prescribe antiallergic drugs that will remove the itching and redness of the skin. In the treatment of this disease, a warm bath with a decoction of chamomile or starch has proved to be a good one. They relax and soothe the weather-beaten skin. But you can take them only at night. And after water procedures, always apply a moisturizer to your skin. So you will fix the healing effect.
If you want to find out if you are affected by frosty weather, then you can perform a simple test procedure. Take a piece of ice from the freezer and attach for 10-15 minutes to the inside of the forearm or to the wrist, and then answer the questions.
