What are common allergy symptoms?
An allergy occurs when your body's immune system reacts to a foreign substance that is normally harmless, like pollen, dust, bee venom, pet dander, etc. These allergens can get into your body in many ways and cause an allergic reaction.Â
Allergy symptoms depend on the substance involved and can affect your sinuses, airways, nasal passages, skin, and digestive system. Some of the common symptoms of allergy include:Â
- Itchy, watery eyesÂ
- Runny noseÂ
- Cough Â
- Chest tightness or breathlessnessÂ
- Wheezing (whistling sound when you breathe)Â
- Rashes or hivesÂ
- Stomach crampsÂ
- Diarrhea Â
- Vomiting Â
- Swollen eyes, lips, mouth, or throatÂ
Types of allergy medicine Â
1. AntihistaminesÂ
Antihistamines are the most common medications used to treat allergies. They block histamine, the chemical released by your immune system during an allergic reaction. Blocking histamine can reduce runny nose, sneezing, hives, itchy or watery eyes, rash, and other signs or symptoms of allergies.Â
Antihistamine medications work well to relieve symptoms of flu, colds, and different allergies, including seasonal, indoor, and food allergies. Antihistamines come in different forms, including pills, liquids, nasal sprays, and eye drops. Some are only available by prescription, and others you can buy over the counter. Some common over-the-counter antihistamines include:Â
- Cetirizine (Zyrtec)Â
- Fexofenadine (Allegra)Â
- Levocetirizine (Xyzal)Â
- Loratadine (Alavert, Claritin)Â

People commonly experience a stuffy nose when allergic reactions occur. Decongestants narrow blood vessels in the nasal passages and relieve sinus pressure and nasal congestion. They help limit the amount of secretion coming from the inner lining of the nose. They are available as nasal sprays, pills, and liquids. Â
