Allergy Relief Medications

Allergy relief medications help manage symptoms caused by allergic reactions, such as sneezing, itching, and runny nose. There are mainly two types: antihistamines reduce symptoms by blocking histamine, a chemical released during an allergy. Common examples include cetirizine and loratadine. Decongestants relieve nasal congestion by narrowing blood vessels, while corticosteroids reduce inflammation in nasal passages. Additionally, saline nasal sprays can provide moisture and relieve dryness. These medications come in various forms, including pills, nasal sprays, and eye drops, and are often available over-the-counter or by prescription. Consult a healthcare provider for personalized recommendations.
