Allergy Remedies: From Shots to Sprays, Prevention May Be the Best Option

What do cats, shellfish, peanuts, and pollen have in common? They are all able to trigger severe allergy symptoms. Allergies to animals, foods, plants, mold, and more constitute one of the largest causes of chronic disease in the United States. Amazingly, 60 million Americans—20 percent of us—have allergies. Since allergies may strike people of all ages, backgrounds, and locations, allergy remedies are as plentiful as allergies themselves.

Whether they come in the form of pills, sprays, or shots, allergy remedies are abundant, but sadly, there is no known “cure” for allergies. Most of the time, people who have allergies will use several allergy remedies in combination with each other, which offers the best chance at relief.

Allergy remedies may be by prescription only, but as time goes by, you’ll discover that many prescription medications are eventually available through an over-the-counter version. One of the most popular allergy remedies is antihistamines, which fight the effects of histamine. (Histamine, a chemical released by your immune system during an allergic reaction, is responsible for many of your allergy symptoms.) Allergy remedies are also offered as nasal sprays, corticosteroids, inhalants, decongestants, skin creams, and allergy shots. Like almost all medication, both prescription and over-the-counter allergy remedies have side effects ranging from mild to severe.

When you weigh the potential side effects, costs, and inconvenience of various allergy remedies, you might conclude that prevention is the smartest way to stop allergic reactions. If, for example, you are allergic to shellfish, your best option would be to avoid eating any food with shellfish as an ingredient. The same theory can be used for other allergies. Granted, it’s a lot more challenging to avoid allergens like pollen, dust mites, and pet dander, but with a lot of work, it can be done.

Allergy remedies based on prevention would include keeping your windows closed, using your air conditioner, and vacuuming with a HEPA (high-efficiency particle arrester) filter. Other natural, avoidance-type allergy remedies might be wearing a mask outside, removing wall-to-wall carpets, bathing pets frequently, and using an air cleaner with a HEPA filter. For the majority of allergy patients, it simply takes time and effort to find the perfect combination of allergy remedies for a particular set of allergy symptoms.
