Nasal allergies occur when allergens in the air affect the nasal passages. They can be caused by a range of allergens, including pollen, animal dander, mold, feathers and more.
So, how can you win the battle against the runny nose, itchy eyes and nasal congestion?
Here are a few ways to treat nasal allergies:
Find the underlying cause of your allergy symptoms
Nasal allergy symptoms can be intensified by asthma and eczema. Treating those conditions first will relieve the symptoms of nasal allergies.
Try a home remedy to relieve congestion
If congestion is your main symptom, making a home nasal spray can help a lot. You can also purchase saline nasal sprays over-the-counter at any drug store.
Visit an ENT doctor for medications
Medications such as antihistamines and decongestants can be prescribed by an ENT doctor to manage nasal allergies.
Allergy shots
Allergy shots aren’t used often. Usually, immunotherapy is only a solution for people who have tried to control nasal allergies through medications.
