<br />the action of histamine that the body produces in
<br />reaction to an allergen but they also cause the
<br />sneezing, coughing, stuffy or runny noses and
<br />congestion. Use of antihistamines can bring
<br />welcome relief to those who suffer from hay fever.
<br />1Q Decongestants — These medications relieve some
<br />allergy symptoms by reducing congestion or
<br />swelling in your nasal membranes, allowing people
<br />to breathe more easily. Many over the counter
<br />medications combine decongestants with
<br />antihistamines.
<br />Nasal sprays also available over the counter and by
<br />prescription can also be part of your defense to allergies.
<br />With the exception of saline nasal sprays, all medications can
<br />have possible side effects. Please read all the information
<br />that accompanies the medication and use as directed. If side
<br />effects do occur, contact your doctor immediately.
<br />Because allergies seem vague and unpredictable, it's
<br />not surprising that misconceptions exist about their causes
<br />and cures. As a result, several myths abound about allergies.
<br />Allergies are psychosomatic— Although hay fever
<br />affects your eyes and nose, allergies aren't "all in
<br />your head." Allergies are very real medical
<br />conditions involving your immune system. Stress
<br />may bring on or worsen symptoms, as with most
<br />medical conditions, it doesn't cause allergies.
<br />Moving to the desert will cure allergies — Some
<br />people believe that by moving to the Southwest,
<br />their allergies will be cured. While the desert
<br />does not have maples or ragweed, it does have
<br />other pollen - producing plants. Sometimes,
<br />people who are sensitive to some pollens or
<br />molds may become sensitive (and sometimes
<br />more sensitive) to the pollens and molds of the
<br />new environment.
<br />Shorthaired pets don't cause allergies — An
<br />animals fur, including its length, isn't the irritant
<br />causing animal allergies. The cause is their dander
<br />(dried skin flakes), saliva and sometimes, urine.
<br />If you are interested in more information about
<br />allergies and their symptoms, please contact your doctor. The
<br />information contained in this article is a summary of the
