Based on symptoms, some allergy sufferers might need different treatment than others. Take a look and see which treatment is right for you.
Intranasal Corticosteroids
Typical Form: Nasal spray
Use: A great option for relieving nasal congestion and reducing inflammation around the nose and sinuses.
Decongestants
Typical Forms: Nasal spray, pill, and liquid
Use: The champion of shrinking swollen membranes, decongestants are used to alleviate both nasal and sinus congestion.
Antihistamines
Typical Forms: Nasal spray, pill, liquid, and eye drops
Use: Great for relieving allergy symptoms like as sneezing, itchy, watery eyes, runny nose, and itchy nose or throat. They work by blocking histamines — compounds released by the body in response to an allergen.
Immunotherapy
Typical Forms: Shot, pill, and oral drops
Use: Administered by a doctor, this treatment reduces sensitivity and increases tolerance to allergens by giving you increasing doses of allergens, provoking an antibody response.
