It’s allergy season. What treatments do you recommend?
In the springtime, we see a big flare in patients with allergy-related concerns. If you’re experiencing symptoms like runny nose, watery eyes, nasal drainage, and cough, it’s important to come in so we can assist in diagnosis and treatment.
If you have chronic allergy conditions, remember to take your medications and treatments every day. For additional allergy relief, newer over-the-counter medications like Claritin, Zyrtec, and Allegra are generally safe. However, note that some of the older antihistamines like Benadryl should be avoided if you are 65 and older, or if you have issues with high blood pressure, heart disease, or prostate problems. Based on your age and metabolism, Benadryl (and other medications) won’t react the same as it used to if you took it at a younger age, and can cause complications. Pay attention to how your body reacts, and tell your doctor if you experience any issues.
