  https://aafa.org/allergies/allergy-treatments/

  Good allergy treatment is based on your medical history, the results of your allergy tests, and if your symptoms are mild or severe. Your allergy treatment plan may include three treatment types: avoiding allergens, medicines, and/or immunotherapy (allergens given as a shot or placed under the tongue). […] There are many safe prescription and over-the-counter medicines to relieve allergy symptoms. Here is a short list of allergy medicines: Nasal corticosteroids are nose sprays. They reduce swelling. Swelling causes a stuffy, runny and itchy nose. They are the most effective medicines for nasal allergies. Antihistamines block histamine, a trigger of allergic swelling. They can calm sneezing, itching, runny nose and hives. They come in pills, liquids, melting tablets or nose sprays. These treat seasonal and indoor allergies. Mast cell stabilizers keep your body from releasing histamine. This can help with itchy, watery eyes or an itchy, runny nose. They are available as eye drops or nose sprays. Decongestants reduce stuffiness by shrinking swollen membranes in the nose. But be careful. Using these sprays more than three days in a row may cause the swelling and stuffiness in your nose to get worse. This can happen even after you stop using the medicine. This reaction is a rebound reaction. Corticosteroid creams or ointments relieve itchiness and stop the spread of rashes. See your doctor if your rash does not go away after using this cream for a week. Oral corticosteroids may be prescribed to reduce swelling and stop severe allergic reactions. These medicines can cause serious side effects. Expect your doctor to carefully monitor you while taking it. Epinephrine (ep-uh-NEF-rin) comes in a pre-measured and self-injectable device. It is the most important medicine to give during a life-threatening anaphylaxis (severe allergic reaction). To work, you must get an epinephrine shot within minutes of the first sign of serious allergic reaction. It treats life-threatening allergic reactions to food, stinging insects, latex, and drugs/medicines.

  Adrenaline (epinephrine) injected into the outer mid-thigh is the immediate treatment of life threatening severe allergic reactions (anaphylaxis). Adrenaline rapidly reverses the effects of anaphylaxis by reducing throat swelling, opening airways, maintaining heart function, and blood pressure. Adrenaline injectors are designed to be used in emergencies by non-medical people, including patients themselves, if they are not too unwell. […] Allergen avoidance is essential in the management of severe allergies to foods, insects and drugs (medications). It is important to have plans in place to minimise the risk of exposure to allergens that can result in anaphylaxis. […] Treatments for allergic rhinitis can be recommended by a pharmacist and/or doctor. These include non-sedating antihistamines (tablets, syrups, nasal sprays, eye drops), saline (salt water) nasal sprays and rinses, intranasal corticosteroid (INCS) sprays, or sprays containing a combination of INCS and antihistamine.

  With tree pollen counts hitting high levels in some parts of the United States, many people are seeking relief for their spring allergy symptoms. […] But before you head to a pharmacy, consider some measures you can take at home. And if you do need to resort to medication, here’s what to know about the various pills, sprays and shots available. […] Doctors recommend first trying to limit your exposure to whatever is triggering an allergic response — for example, tree pollen in the spring. […] You can monitor local pollen levels on weather or allergy apps or on sites such as the National Allergy Bureau’s. When counts are high, doctors recommend keeping your windows closed, wearing a well-fitting mask outside and showering and changing your clothes when you get home. […] When you come inside, you can also rinse out your nose with a saline spray or neti pot.

  Dr. John Mafi, a primary care physician at UCLA Health who often treats patients with allergies, said that for those with moderate or severe seasonal allergies, the most effective treatment is typically a nasal corticosteroid spray. […] These include fluticasone (Flonase), budesonide (Benacort), triamcinolone (Nasacort) and mometasone (Nasonex). […] Allergens trigger inflammation in the nose, eyes, throat and, sometimes, the airway. “A local steroid is calming that area of inflammation,” Dr. Mafi said. […] Because nasal sprays are not absorbed systemically the way steroid pills are, they are considered low-risk, he added. […] The steroids can take several days to take effect, so doctors recommend using them from a week or two ahead of pollen season until pollen counts decline. […] Antihistamines reduce the itchiness and inflammation produced by histamine, a chemical your immune cells release when triggered by an allergen.

  The most common adverse effects of intranasal corticosteroids are throat irritation, epistaxis, stinging, burning, and nasal dryness. […] The leukotriene D4 receptor antagonist montelukast (Singulair) is comparable to oral antihistamines but is less effective than intranasal corticosteroids. […] Immunotherapy should be considered for moderate or severe persistent allergic rhinitis that is not responsive to usual treatments, in patients who cannot tolerate standard therapies or who want to avoid long-term medication use, and in patients with allergic asthma.

• #1 What Antihistamines Should be Used for Allergies? | Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America

  https://community.aafa.org/db/ask-the-allergist/record/what-antihistamines-should-be-used-for-allergies

  We strongly recommend a thoughtful use of medications when treating symptoms of allergy and with antihistamines, these help block a chemical called histamine, and histamine is a major source of itching and sneezing, especially can also be a major source of hives and things like that. […] If you do decide to use an antihistamine to help your symptoms, try to avoid the older first-generation antihistamines such as Benadryl or diphenhydramine. […] There are a widely available second-generation antihistamines and newer antihistamines that last longer. […] So, Benadryl is very nonselective, as are other first-generation antihistamines. […] There are misconceptions that Benadryl and first-generation antihistamines work faster than newer second-generation antihistamines. […] So, I strongly urge anybody who’s operating a motor vehicle, if you have firearms, if you have to, you know, really rely on your senses for anything, please avoid first-generation antihistamines.

  https://health.uoregon.edu/treating-seasonal-allergies

  There are two primary approaches to dealing with seasonal allergiesavoiding or minimizing pollen contact, and treating symptoms. The main focus of this care guide is the use of over-the-counter (OTC) medications to treat symptoms, but taking steps to minimize exposure to pollen can be very helpful as well. […] OTC Symptom Management […] Antihistamines […] Antihistamines are grouped into generations (first, second, third) based on when they were developed and to a certain extent, their side-effect profile. Our recommendation is to start with second-generation agents because they have a good balance between effectiveness, tolerability, and price. […] Second-generation antihistamines: The preferred first-step agent is certirizine (Zyrtec); others include loratadine (Claritin), fexofenadine (Allegra). All are taken once per day and are generally cause little to no drowsiness. We recommend cetirizine for initial treatment.

  Immunotherapy is a treatment option for some allergy patients. There are two common types of immunotherapy. They are allergy shots and sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT). Allergy shots involve giving injections of allergens in an increasing dose over time. The person becomes progressively less sensitive to that allergen. Allergy shots can work well for some people with allergies to pollen, pets, dust, bees or other stinging insects, as well as asthma. SLIT is another way to treat certain allergies without injections. Allergists give patients small doses of an allergen under the tongue. This exposure improves tolerance to the substance and reduces symptoms. SLIT is fairly safe and effective for the treatment of nasal allergies and asthma.

• #1 Allergen immunotherapy | healthdirect

  https://www.healthdirect.gov.au/allergen-immunotherapy

  Allergen immunotherapy is used to change the way your body reacts to things you are allergic to (allergens). […] Allergen immunotherapy works by regularly introducing tiny doses of the allergen to the body over several years, so your body can 'get used’ to the allergen and learn not to react to it. […] Allergen immunotherapy may be recommended to treat allergy to insect stings, severe hay fever, asthma and sometimes eczema. […] Allergen immunotherapy is a way to change how your body reacts to things you are allergic to (allergens). Unlike other allergy medicines, which reduce symptoms, immunotherapy is used to treat allergies directly. […] Allergen immunotherapy can prevent or reduce allergies by switching off your body’s reaction to things that cause allergic reactions. It can take years to work.

• #1 Allergy Immunotherapy | Allergy Treatment | ACAAI Public Website

  https://acaai.org/allergies/management-treatment/allergy-immunotherapy/

  Immunotherapy is to desensitize you to the allergens that you’re allergic to. So first we would do testing to figure out what allergens you’re allergic to. And with allergy shots, we would formulate that mixture of allergens based on the allergy testing that you have. And it would be very tailored to the patient and could be accelerated as far as increasing dosing, based on how the patient tolerates it, but also could be slowed down if there are reactions. […] Allergy shots, also known as subcutaneous immunotherapy (SCIT), are the most commonly used and most effective form of allergy immunotherapy. This is the only treatment available that actually changes the immune system, making it possible to prevent the development of new allergies and asthma. […] Sublingual (under the tongue) immunotherapy is an alternative way to treat allergies without injections. The only FDA-approved sublingual therapy is tablets. Allergy drops are not FDA-approved and are off-label in the United States.

  Allergen immunotherapy (AIT) for aeroallergens (such as pollen and dust mites) reduces the severity of allergy symptoms and the need for medications. It involves regular administration of gradually increasing doses of allergen extracts, usually over a period of three to five years. It can be given as injections or as sublingual (under the tongue) tablets, sprays or drops. It is usually recommended for allergic rhinitis when symptoms are severe. AIT is also known as desensitisation. […] Venom immunotherapy (VIT) for allergy to venom from insects (such as bees, wasps and stinging ants) reduces the severity of allergy symptoms and can prevent anaphylaxis. It involves regular administration of gradually increasing doses of allergen extracts, usually over a period of three to five years, given as injections.

  Allergy shots have shown to decrease symptoms of many allergies. It can prevent the development of new allergies, and in children it can prevent the progression of allergic disease from allergic rhinitis to asthma. […] Failure to respond to allergy shots may be due to several factors: Inadequate dose of allergen in the allergy vaccine Missing allergens not identified during the allergy evaluation High levels of allergen in the environment Significant exposure to non-allergic triggers, such as tobacco smoke. […] A typical reaction is redness and swelling at the injection site. This can happen immediately or several hours after the treatment. In some instances, symptoms can include increased allergy symptoms such as sneezing, nasal congestion or hives. […] Serious reactions to allergy shots are rare. When they do occur, they require immediate medical attention. Symptoms of an anaphylactic reaction can include swelling in the throat, wheezing or tightness in the chest, nausea and dizziness.

  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allergen_immunotherapy

  Side effects during sublingual immunotherapy treatment are usually local and mild and can often be eliminated by adjusting the dosage. Anaphylaxis during sublingual immunotherapy treatment has occurred on rare occasions. […] Potential side effects related to subcutaneous immunotherapy treatment for asthma and allergic rhinoconjunctivitis include mild or moderate skin or respiratory reactions. Severe side effects such as anaphylaxis during subcutaneous immunotherapy treatment are relatively uncommon. […] Discovered by Leonard Noon and John Freeman in 1911, allergen immunotherapy is the only medicine known to tackle not only the symptoms but also the causes of respiratory allergies. A detailed diagnosis is necessary to identify the allergens involved. […] Sublingual immunotherapy involves putting drops or a tablet of allergen extracts under the tongue, which are then absorbed through the lining of the mouth. Sublingual immunotherapy has been demonstrated to be effective against rhinoconjunctivitis and asthma symptoms. This effectiveness, however, varies depending on the type of allergen.
