Antihistamine Treatment

Antihistamine treatment involves medications that block histamine, a chemical released by the immune system during allergic reactions. When histamine binds to its receptors, it causes symptoms like sneezing, itching, runny nose, and watery eyes. Antihistamines prevent these symptoms by reducing the effects of histamine. They are commonly used for allergies, hay fever, and allergic skin reactions. Usually available over-the-counter or by prescription, antihistamines can provide fast relief and are effective at managing allergic responses, improving comfort and quality of life for those affected by allergies.
