🙄SEASONAL ALLERGY ::TREATMENTS TIPS
Seasonal allergies caused by pollen can trigger or worsen asthma and lead to other health problems such as sinus infections (sinusitis) and ear infections in children. Many prescription or over-the-counter (OTC) antihistamines can relieve seasonal allergy symptoms such as repetitive sneezing and itchy, watery eyes. Immunotherapy is another option for allergy treatment. One form of allergen immunotherapy is allergy shots in which the body responds to injected amounts of a particular allergen, given in gradually increasing doses, by developing immunity or tolerance to that allergen. Patients can receive injections from a healthcare provider; a common course of treatment begins with weekly injections for 2 to 3 months until the maximum dose is reached. After that, treatment could continue monthly for 3 to 5 years.
