Allergy Relief - Page 3

Allergy relief products come in many forms to combat various allergy symptoms. Here's a breakdown of some common categories:

• Antihistamines: These are the most common allergy relievers, blocking the histamine release triggered by allergens. They come in various forms:

- Oral Antihistamines (tablets, chewables): These typically come in non-drowsy and fast-acting varieties for quick relief of sneezing, runny nose, itchy eyes, and hives.

- Nasal Antihistamines (sprays): Can be long-lasting and target congestion and runny nose specifically.

• Decongestants (nasal sprays or tablets): Relieve nasal congestion and stuffiness. However, they are not recommended for long-term use.

Other allergy relief products target specific symptoms:

• Eye Drops: Soothe itchy and watery eyes caused by allergies. Look for varieties that are non-irritating and gentle formula.

Preventative measures can also help reduce allergy symptoms:

• Air Purifiers: Help remove allergens like dust, pet dander, and pollen from indoor air.
• HEPA Air Filters: Capture small airborne particles like allergens in your home's air conditioning system.

Remember:

• Consult your doctor before using any new allergy medication, especially if you have underlying health conditions.
• When choosing allergy relief products, consider factors like the severity of your symptoms, desired duration of relief, and any potential side effects.
