Antihistamine Treatments

Antihistamines are medications used to relieve allergy symptoms like sneezing, itching, and runny nose. They work by blocking histamine, a chemical our body releases during an allergic reaction. There are two main types: first-generation antihistamines, which can cause drowsiness, and second-generation ones, which typically have fewer side effects and are less sedating. Antihistamines can be taken as pills, liquids, or nasal sprays. While effective for allergies, they can also help with colds and motion sickness. Always consult a healthcare provider for proper use, especially for children or if you have underlying health conditions.
