FAQ

What are 2 treatments for allergies?

Antihistamines and immunotherapy are the best allergy treatment options. The antihistamines work by blocking a substance namely histamines, released during an allergic reaction. This helps relieve symptoms such as sneezing, and running nose. The immunotherapy involves regular injections of allergens over time to desensitise the immune system, reducing the severity of allergic reactions.

How can I stop allergies naturally?

  • Identify Triggers: Determine and avoid specific allergens that trigger your allergies, such as pollen, dust mites, or certain foods.
  • Maintain Cleanliness: Regularly clean your living space, use allergen-proof bedding, and keep windows closed during high pollen seasons.
  • Neti Pot or Saline Rinse: Nasal irrigation with a neti pot or saline solution can help flush out allergens and relieve nasal congestion.

What is the best immediate relief for allergies?

The best immediate relief for allergies often includes antihistamines and nasal decongestant sprays. The antihistamines like cetirizine or loratadine can provide quick relief from the symptoms. The nasal decongestant sprays can rapidly reduce nasal congestion, but they should be used for short periods to avoid rebound congestion.

How do you get rid of sudden allergies?

  • Take Antihistamines: Over-the-counter antihistamines can quickly alleviate symptoms like sneezing and itching.
  • Use Nasal Sprays: Nasal corticosteroid sprays can reduce inflammation and ease nasal symptoms.
  • Apply Cold Compress: Applying a cold compress to the affected area can help reduce skin irritation caused by allergic reactions.

Is turmeric good for allergies?

Turmeric has anti-inflammatory properties and may help reduce allergy symptoms. Its active compound, curcumin, may inhibit the release of histamine and other inflammatory substances. However, scientific evidence on its effectiveness for allergies is limited, and it’s advisable to consult with a healthcare professional before using turmeric as a sole treatment for allergies.
