An allergy is a common and
distressing health issue experienced by many people, irrespective of age and
gender. In winter, people are readily affected by allergies mainly due to
extreme coldness wherein viruses and pathogens survive and invade the human
body to produce an allergic reaction. Nevertheless, there are few medicines
that help treat allergic reaction this season.
Generally, allergies are incurable,
but they are treatable with several types of medications, which are available
both as prescription and over the counter allergy medicine. These medicines
help ease and manage distressing allergic symptoms such as runny or stuffy
nose, nasal congestion, sneezing, red/itchy eyes, headache and mild cough.The
allergy medicines include antihistamines, decongestants, corticosteroids and immunotherapy.
Allergy shots are also prescribed in advanced case, so that a person’s ability
to combat allergens is enhanced.
