Treatment for Insect Allergies

Treatment for insect allergies aims to prevent or reduce allergic reactions. The first step is avoiding insects and their nests. Medications such as antihistamines, corticosteroids, or epinephrine (for severe reactions) help manage symptoms. For those at risk of severe allergy, allergen immunotherapy (allergy shots) can desensitize the immune response over time, reducing the severity of future reactions. It's also important to carry an epinephrine auto-injector if prescribed. Consulting an allergy specialist ensures personalized management and the best preventive strategies to minimize risks and handle reactions effectively.
