I have been suffering from allergic rhinitis for 6 years, with triggers like dust, smoke, and pollen. What medications can I take to manage and treat this condition?
Managing long-term allergic rhinitis is very common and highly treatable. For daily control and to reduce nasal inflammation, a generic corticosteroid nasal spray (such as fluticasone or mometasone) is highly effective. For quick relief of sneezing and itching, non-drowsy oral antihistamines (like cetirizine, loratadine, or fexofenadine) work well. Additionally, regular saline nasal rinses help clear allergens like dust and pollen. If your symptoms persist, montelukast, an oral medication, can also be beneficial. Please consult your local physician or allergist to tailor a specific treatment plan that works best for you.
