Cat Allergy Treatments

Cat allergy treatments aim to reduce symptoms caused by allergens like cat dander, saliva, and urine. Common approaches include antihistamines, which relieve sneezing and itching; decongestants to ease nasal congestion; and corticosteroids to reduce inflammation. Allergy shots (immunotherapy) may help desensitize the immune system over time. Home strategies include frequent cleaning, using air purifiers, and creating pet-free zones. For some, considering non-allergic pets might be a solution. Consulting an allergist can help determine the best personalized treatment plan.
