  The first-generation antihistamines, such as diphenhydramine (Benadryl), chlorpheniramine (Chlor-Trimeton), dimenhydrinate (Dramamine), brompheniramine (Dimetapp and others), clemastine fumarate (Tavist, Allerhist), and dexbrompheniramine (Drixoral) frequently cause mouth dryness and sleepiness as side effects. […] Newer, so-called „non-sedating” or second-generation antihistamines are also available. These include loratadine (Claritin), fexofenadine (Allegra), cetirizine (Zyrtec), desloratadine (Clarinex), levocitirizine (Xyzal) and azelastine (Astelin Nasal Spray). In general, this group of antihistamines is slightly more expensive, has a slower onset of action, is longer acting, and induces less sleepiness. These medications are available over the counter. […] Other antihistamine side effects can occasionally occur, for example, urine retention in males, fast heart rate, and others. Always discuss the potential side effects of any medication with a physician and/or pharmacist.

  Decongestants help control allergy symptoms but not their causes. Decongestants shrink the swollen membranes in the nose and make it easier to breathe. Decongestants can be taken orally or by nasal spray. Decongestant nasal sprays should not be used for more than five days without a doctor’s advice, and if so, usually only when accompanied by a nasal steroid. Decongestant nasal sprays often cause a so-called „rebound effect” if taken for too long. A rebound effect is the worsening of symptoms when a drug is discontinued. This is a result of a tissue dependence on the medication. […] Some people with allergies need specialized prescription medications such as corticosteroids, cromolyn, and ipratropium (Atrovent) nasal sprays. These nasal sprays do not cause the rebound effect noticed with decongestant nasal sprays. Cortisone nasal sprays are very effective in reducing the inflammation that causes swelling, sneezing, and a runny nose. Cortisone can also decrease the formation of many chemicals involved in the allergic response. Many cortisone nasal sprays are on the market through prescription only. Intranasal steroids are typically the first-line medications for patients suffering from persistent allergies. Fluticasone (Flonase) is one medication available over the counter.

  Patients blighted by hay fever could markedly reduce symptoms after a three-year course of treatment, but not after two years of treatment. […] Previous research has shown that a type of immunotherapy that exposes patients to increasing amounts of grass pollen over time is an effective way to reduce severe symptoms in the long term. […] But in a new study, published today in the journal JAMA, scientists from Imperial College London have found that a two-year course of treatment is not enough to achieve lasting effects, bolstering previous findings that more time is needed taking the medication to get lasting benefit. […] You treat patients for three years and then they have a big improvement in their hay fever for several years afterwards, said Professor Stephen Durham, Head of Allergy and Clinical Immunology at the National Heart and Lung Institute at Imperial and clinical lead for allergy services at Royal Brompton Hospital, who led the study.

  Intranasal corticosteroids are the mainstay of treatment for allergic rhinitis. They act by decreasing the influx of inflammatory cells and inhibiting the release of cytokines, thereby reducing inflammation of the nasal mucosa. […] The International Primary Care Respiratory Group; British Society for Allergy and Clinical Immunology; and American Academy of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology recommend intranasal corticosteroids alone for the initial treatment of persistent symptoms affecting quality of life and second-generation nonsedating antihistamines for mild intermittent disease. […] Although most patients should be treated with just one medication at a time, combination therapy is an option for patients with severe or persistent symptoms. Many studies have looked at the combination of an intranasal corticosteroid and an oral antihistamine or leukotriene receptor antagonist, but most have concluded that combination therapy is no more effective than an intranasal corticosteroid alone. […] 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.

  Hay fever: Learn More Allergen-specific immunotherapy (desensitization) in the treatment of hay fever. […] If you have hay fever, or are allergic to insect venom, dust mites or other animals, immunotherapy can be used to weaken your body’s response to the substance causing the allergy, known as the allergen. This treatment allows the immune system to get used to (become desensitized to) the allergen. That can relieve symptoms. […] The goal of allergen-specific immunotherapy is to reduce allergy symptoms in the medium to long term. It takes at least three to five years. Immunotherapy can be used in both children and adults. […] This treatment is also known as desensitization. It aims to do exactly that: make the immune system less sensitive to the allergen by allowing it to „get used to” it.

  In immunotherapy, the body is exposed to extracts of the allergen with the aim of training it to react differently: It is a bit like being vaccinated against your own allergy. […] Allergen-specific immunotherapy can’t be used for every allergy. […] In specific immunotherapy, the person is repeatedly given a very small amount of the allergen. […] There are two types of immunotherapy: Subcutaneous immunotherapy (SCIT) and Sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT). […] Both kinds of allergen-specific immunotherapy (SCIT and SLIT) are effective treatments. […] Immunotherapy works for hay fever and for year-round allergic rhinitis. […] But allergen-specific immunotherapy has many important advantages over all other allergy treatments: It can prevent the original allergy from developing into allergies to other substances, or from developing into asthma.

  In order to get the long-term clinical benefits after stopping the treatment, you have to take it for three years. […] This study shows that whereas both immunotherapy treatments were highly effective, two years of treatment was insufficient for long-term benefits. […] Clinicians and patients should continue to follow international guidelines that recommend a minimum of three years treatment. […] Previous studies published by Imperial researchers have shown the long-lasting benefits of both immunotherapy injections and pills for severe hay fever benefits which persist for at least two to three years after the treatment has stopped.

  Combining regular daily antihistamines with a steroid-based nasal spray and eye drops is a good option for those who suffer from moderate hay fever, he says. […] Antihistamine tablets generally reduce both nose and eye symptoms caused by hay fever, and steroid nasal sprays work by reducing inflammation in the nasal passages, unblocking the nose and resulting in less sneezing. […] Meanwhile, eye drops provide shorter-term relief as they work to reduce eye itchiness and irritation. […] Often, taking a single daily antihistamine tablet is not sufficient. Taking all three treatments together on a regular daily basis really helps to get the best possible control of hay fever. […] Timing is key for the most effective treatment. Hay fever sufferers should begin taking medication up to three weeks before the new pollen season begins.

  Lasers: A Future Treatment for Hay Fever and Other Allergies […] Allergic rhinitis is a very common allergic disorder, affecting the nose and its passages. Routine treatment involves using anti-allergy pills or nose sprays, which can be difficult to manage, and do not always help. A new alternative is to treat the inside of the nose with gentle lasers. […] There is some hope for those whose noses are often stuffy, itchy and red from allergies such as hay fever: Low level laser therapy can probably help to reduce these allergy symptoms. However, before it is routinely used as an alternative to anti-allergy pills and nose sprays, much more research is required. […] Other methods for treating allergic rhinitis include immunotherapy, acupuncture, and low-level laser therapy (LLLT). […] LLLT is a novel, painless treatment method that uses low intensity light (laser) to reduce inflammation. […] To find out about the effectiveness and safety of LLLT, the authors carried out what is called a systematic review and meta-analysis. […] The analysis revealed that, after LLLT, people had less rhinitis nasal symptoms and improved quality of life. However, this before and after effect was very similar to the results of comparisons between placebo and LLLT treatment. Therefore, although it is probable that LLLT is helpful, further research needs to be done with larger groups of people, and with comparison between medicines and LLLT. It is hoped that this further research can confirm that LLLT is better than placebo and better than anti-allergy medication.
