Question 3

what is the best medicine for stubborn allergies?

Accepted Answer

Various Options: Daily steroid or antihistamines nasal sprays (fluticasone, azelastine) are helpful. Determining exactly what you could be sensitized to in order to practice appropriate avoidance measures is also important. If medications and avoidance are not effective or not feasible allergen immunotherapy (allergy shots) could be an option as well. Other meds include Sudafed, Mucinex, (guaifenesin) Afrin, oral antihistamines

Question 4

i'm curious as to what is the best medicine to cure allergy?

Accepted Answer

No cure yet, but...: Allergy shots (allergen immunotherapy) is currently the only treatment that is disease modifiying, meaning it can change how the body responds to exposure to allergens.  It is "natural" and long lasting effects carry on after shots are stopped. It works for most, but not all people.  Closest thing to a cure so far.....

Question 5

what to do if i have a horrilbe allergy please someone which one is the best medicine?

Accepted Answer

No single one: Depending on the severity of your condition. 
There is no one best drug for anyone but most people respond well to intranasal cortisone + a intranasal antihistamine. Dymista is currently the only rx drug with this combination. 
Avoidance remains the best and consider allergy shots if your symptoms are not adequately controlled.  However allergy shots are not medicine.
