HOME REMEDIES FOR AN ALLERGIC REACTION?

Allergies are a common cause of illness and can occur at any stage in someone’s life. Numerous different things cause allergies from pollen to food to medication, meaning it is not always easy to know the best treatments or home remedies. Fast facts on treating an allergic reaction: • Most minor allergy symptoms can be treated with antihistamines, corticosteroids, or decongestants. • Saline nasal rinses can be used for congestion-related allergy symptoms. • Corticosteroid creams can treat skin rashes related to allergies. • Immunotherapy is a long-term treatment option for chronic allergy symptoms. • Anaphylaxis is a medical emergency, and people should call 911 if they suspect someone is having an anaphylactic reaction. What is an allergic reaction? An allergic reaction occurs when cells in the immune system interpret a foreign substance or allergen as harmful. The immune system overreacts to these allergens and produces histamine, which is a chemical that causes allergy symptoms, such as inflammation, sneezing, and coughing. Mild allergic reactions can usually be treated with home remedies and over-the-counter (OTC) medications. However, chronic allergies need treatment from a medical professional. Severe allergic reactions always require emergency medical care. Treating allergic reactions Many mild to moderate allergic reactions can be treated at home or with OTC medications. The following treatments are commonly used to reduce the symptoms of an allergic reaction: Antihistamines Antihistamines can help to treat most minor allergic reactions regardless of the cause. These drugs reduce the body’s production of histamine, which reduces all symptoms, including sneezing, watering eyes, and skin reactions. Second-generation antihistamines, including Claritin (loratadine) and Zyrtec (cetirizine), are less likely to cause drowsiness than first-generation antihistamines, such as Benadryl. Antihistamines come in several forms, usually to help deliver the medication closer to the source of the reaction or make it easier to consume, such as: • oral pills • dissolvable tablets • nasal sprays • liquids • eye drops Antihistamines in these forms are available from pharmacies, to buy online, or on prescription from a doctor. Antihistamines can also be taken to prevent allergies. Many people with seasonal or pet allergies will begin taking antihistamines when they know they are going to be exposed to an allergen.
