Allergies – Overview
Allergies are an immune system overreaction to substances that are normally harmless. These substances are called allergens. Common types of allergies are pollen, dust, insect venom, pet dander, and certain foods. These substances are known as allergens. When a sensitized person is exposed to an allergen, their immune system reacts and leading to symptoms like itching, rashes, sneezing, runny nose, swelling, and shortness of breathing. Symptoms can be severe with life-threatening reactions. For oral relief from allergies, you can try medication for allergies. The primary types of medication are decongestants, antihistamines, and leukotriene inhibitors. These are dissolvable tablets.
Medication to Treat Allergies
