When it comes to allergy treatment, you have options. Here are some of the most common treatments for allergies that are available to you.
Allergy Avoidance
One of the most effective natural allergy treatments is a comprehensive plan to avoid certain allergens. Avoidance is a critical part of most food allergy treatments, but can also be highly effective for environmental and other allergens. Depending on your unique allergy profile, avoidance may not always be possible; however, there may be ways to reduce exposure to limit and manage attacks. Treating allergies naturally with allergy avoidance can be an important part of your customized treatment plan.
Medication
Allergy symptoms are often among the first signs of allergies in adults and children. These symptoms are not the root cause, but they do have the greatest negative impact on daily life for allergy sufferers. Medications will not treat the underlying allergy, but they are highly effective in managing symptoms to improve the overall quality of life. These medications can control congestion, inflammation, and block histamine. They can be used to treat mild to severe seasonal allergy symptoms as well as year round allergens.
Allergy medications should always be taken under a doctor’s supervision. A targeted combination of prescription and over-the-counter medications can be an effective tool to fight the symptoms of allergies. You may want to consider using allergy medications as part of your successful treatment plan.
ENT, Sleep, and Sinus Treatment
Your allergy problems may be part of an overall health condition that is complicated by a sleep disorder, sinus problem, or another ear, nose, and throat issue. Scottsdale Sinus & Allergy Center is uniquely qualified with a team of professionals that can identify and treat these important related issues. Your treatment plan must include comprehensive solutions that result in lasting relief for all of your related allergy issues.
Immunotherapy
The only allergy treatment solution that works to address your underlying allergies is immunotherapy. This is the process of slowly retraining the body’s immune system to respond naturally to harmless allergens. Gradually exposing the body to safe amounts of your specific allergens will allow the immune system to recognize and differentiate between allergens and other substances that cause illness.
The two most common forms of immunotherapy are known as Allergy Shots and Allergy Drops. Both types are safe and highly effective in retraining the immune system. Allergy Shots are a traditional method that has been used to treat generations of allergy sufferers. Allergy Drops are a modern solution that combines the safety and success of shots with a convenient and pain-free delivery system.
If your long-term goal is to reduce or eliminate allergies, then immunotherapy should be part of your individualized treatment plan.
