Over 50 million Americans suffer from allergies each year, surprisingly making them the sixth leading cause of chronic illness in the U.S. Though there is no cure for allergies for this reason the focus should be on prevention and treatment.
ALLERGENS
Allergens are particularly harmless substances that trigger responses that begin in the immune system and, as a result, cause allergic reactions. These reactions can involve inflammation, swelling, sneezing, coughing, rash, and other symptoms.
TREATMENT
Some individuals may find relief by avoiding allergens and taking over-the-counter medications. In other words, treatments depend on the severity of your condition and the type of allergies you are facing.
PREVENTION
Generally, prevention and avoidance is the best route, but that is not always possible. Testing can be done by an allergist to help identify triggers and a game plan can be created to help assist in avoiding those triggers.

Ultimately, allergy treatment is based on your medical history, results of the allergy test and how severe your symptoms are. Treatment types include avoidance of allergens and medication.
The best way to prevent allergy symptoms and limit the need for medication is to avoid your allergens as much as possible. This can include removing the source of allergens from your home and washing out your nose daily.
Some people do not take allergy medications because they do not think that their symptoms are serious. It is important to realize that the continuation of these allergies can cause problems such as sinus or ear infections.
With this in mind, do not take the risk and contact your healthcare provider if you are experiencing any ongoing symptoms.
