What are common allergy symptoms?

An allergy occurs when your body's immune system reacts to a foreign substance that is normally harmless, like pollen, dust, bee venom, pet dander, etc. These allergens can get into your body in many ways and cause an allergic reaction.

Allergy symptoms depend on the substance involved and can affect your sinuses, airways, nasal passages, skin, and digestive system. Some of the common symptoms of allergy include:

Itchy, watery eyes
Runny nose
Cough
Chest tightness or breathlessness
Wheezing (whistling sound when you breathe)
Rashes or hives
Stomach cramps
Diarrhea
Vomiting
Swollen eyes, lips, mouth, or throat

Types of allergy medicine

1. Antihistamines

Antihistamines are the most common medications used to treat allergies. They block histamine, the chemical released by your immune system during an allergic reaction. Blocking histamine can reduce runny nose, sneezing, hives, itchy or watery eyes, rash, and other signs or symptoms of allergies.

Antihistamine medications work well to relieve symptoms of flu, colds, and different allergies, including seasonal, indoor, and food allergies. Antihistamines come in different forms, including pills, liquids, nasal sprays, and eye drops. Some are only available by prescription, and others you can buy over the counter. Some common over-the-counter antihistamines include:

Cetirizine (Zyrtec)
Fexofenadine (Allegra)
Levocetirizine (Xyzal)
Loratadine (Alavert, Claritin)
Chlorpheniramine (Chlor-Trimeton)
Diphenhydramine (Benadryl)

HPFY offers a huge collection of antihistamine medications to cater to your needs, like Mckesson Allergy Relief Loratadine Tablet and McKesson Allergy Relief Cetrizine Tablet.

2. Decongestants

People commonly experience a stuffy nose when allergic reactions occur. Decongestants narrow blood vessels in the nasal passages and relieve sinus pressure and nasal congestion. They help limit the amount of secretion coming from the inner lining of the nose. They are available as nasal sprays, pills, and liquids.

Bayer Afrin Nasal Spray is an over-the-counter sinus medicine, and when applied as a spray into the nostril, it stimulates receptors in the smooth muscle of the nose's blood vessels leading to reduced nasal congestion.

3. Corticosteroids

Corticosteroids relieve symptoms of allergy-related inflammation. They come as nasal sprays, inhalers, eye drops, pills, and skin creams. Corticosteroids can treat a runny nose, sneezing, itchiness, rashes, and swelling.

Nasacort Allergy Relief Nasal Spray relieves hay fever symptoms or other upper respiratory allergies like nasal congestion, runny nose, sneezing, and itchy nose.

Safety tips while using over-the-counter sinus medicine

Some antihistamines may cause drowsiness, dizziness, dry mouth, etc. Though the side effects are mild with newer-generation antihistamines, it is good to consult your doctor before using any medicine.
If you take an antihistamine that causes drowsiness, take it before bedtime, not during the day before you drive or use machinery.
Be sure to read the label for the correct dose; taking too much can harm adults and children.
Ensure you are using children’s allergy medicine when giving them to your child.
Some antihistamines can interact with other medications. So, check with your doctor if you are on any medications or have any existing health problems.
