Wheezing or Difficulty Breathing
Individuals with Aspergillus allergy often experience wheezing or difficulty breathing. This is due to the inflammation and narrowing of the airway, caused by the body's immune response to the allergen.
Persistent Cough
Aspergillus allergy can also cause a persistent cough, which may be dry or produce mucus. In some cases, the cough may be severe and accompanied by chest pain.
Shortness of Breath
Aspergillus allergy may cause shortness of breath, particularly during physical activity or exertion. This is due to the reduced capacity of the lungs to take in oxygen as a result of inflammation caused by the allergic reaction.
Fever
In some individuals, Aspergillus allergy can cause fever symptoms. This is a result of the body's immune response to the allergen and is often accompanied by other symptoms such as fatigue and malaise.
Sinusitis
Chronic sinusitis, characterized by inflammation and swelling of the sinuses, can be a symptom of Aspergillus allergy. This can cause symptoms such as nasal congestion, facial pain, and a reduced sense of smell.
Fatigue
Individuals with Aspergillus allergy may experience fatigue, often feeling tired or lacking energy. This is due to the body's immune response to the allergen and the energy required to fight off the inflammation.
