  1. ANCIENT WAY TO CURE HIVES

  2. What Are Allergies? • Definition: • Allergies are the immune system’s overreaction to substances that are usually harmless (e.g., pollen, dust, food). • Common Allergens: • Pollen, dust mites, pet dander, mold, insect stings, and certain foods. • Symptoms: • Sneezing, itchy eyes, runny nose, rash, swelling, or difficulty breathing.

  3. What Is Allergy Medicine? • Purpose: • Allergy medicines help alleviate or prevent the symptoms caused by allergens. • Types: • Over-the-counter (OTC) • Prescription (for more severe allergies). • Forms Available: • Tablets, nasal sprays, eye drops, creams, and injections.

  4. Types of Allergy Medicine • Antihistamines: • Block histamine, which causes allergy symptoms. • Example: Loratadine, Cetirizine, Diphenhydramine. • Decongestants: • Reduce nasal swelling and congestion. • Example: Pseudoephedrine, Oxymetazoline. • Corticosteroids: • Reduce inflammation and swelling. • Example: Fluticasone (nasal spray), hydrocortisone (cream). • Leukotriene Inhibitors: • Block chemicals that cause allergy-induced asthma. • Example: Montelukast.

  5. When Should You Take Allergy Medicine? • Seasonal Allergies (Hay Fever): • Take antihistamines or nasal sprays during allergy seasons (e.g., spring). • Food Allergies: • Use antihistamines for mild reactions; always have an epinephrine auto-injector for severe reactions. • Chronic Allergies: • Daily medications may be necessary for ongoing symptoms. • Emergency Situations: • Use epinephrine for anaphylaxis—a severe allergic reaction that can be life-threatening.

  6. Possible Side Effects Common Side Effects: Serious Side Effects: Key Advice: Fast heartbeat, difficulty urinating, or allergic reactions to the medicine itself. Always follow dosage instructions and consult a doctor if unsure. Drowsiness (with first-generation antihistamines), dry mouth, dizziness, or nausea.

  7. Key Takeaways • Allergy Medicine: A vital tool to manage symptoms and improve quality of life. • Types of Medication: Antihistamines, decongestants, corticosteroids, and epinephrine for emergencies. • Consult a Doctor: If symptoms persist or become severe. • Final Thought: “Managing allergies starts with understanding your body and the medicines that work best for you.”

  8. Key Takeaways • Most colds last 7–10 days. • Support your body with rest, hydration, and symptom relief. • If symptoms persist beyond 2 weeks or worsen, consult a doctor. • Final Thought: Prevention is always better than cure!
