Allergens:
Treatment for allergies may include:
- Allergy medications such as antihistamines, nasal corticosteroids, decongestants, and oral corticosteroids to alleviate symptoms.
- Allergen immunotherapy (allergy shots or sublingual tablets) to desensitize the immune system to specific allergens and reduce allergic symptoms over time.
Irritants:
Treatment for irritant-induced reactions may include:
- Symptomatic relief with over-the-counter medications such as pain relievers, antihistamines, or topical corticosteroids.
- Avoidance of irritants and protective measures to minimize exposure.
- Management of underlying conditions (e.g., asthma, dermatitis) that may be exacerbated by irritant exposure.
