What are the common symptoms of winter allergies?
Many patients who come into our office with winter allergies often show symptoms of:
- Congestion
- Sneezing
- Dry cough
- Rash
- Itching of the eyes, ears, and nose
What treatment options are available for winter and seasonal allergies?
Our team of specialists at Advanced Allergy & Asthma Associates S.C. can provide a variety of treatments to help manage your winter allergies. Depending on the actual severity of your symptoms, we may recommend one or more of the following options:
- Nasal sprays and drops. These medications reduce inflammation in the nasal passage and can provide relief from congestion, sneezing, and other allergy symptoms and are available over-the-counter or by prescription only
- Antihistamines. These medications are taken orally or through a nasal spray to block the release of histamine, which is responsible for many of the allergy symptoms
- Decongestants. Decongestants reduce inflammation in the sinus cavity and can be taken orally or in the form of a nasal spray
- Immunotherapy. We may recommend immunotherapy if your winter allergies are especially severe; this therapy involves introducing minuscule amounts of allergens into the body to help build up a tolerance over time
