A member asked:

How can i reduce allergy without avoiding allergens?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Medicine: Allergy medicine can lessen allergy symptoms while allergy shots can help induce tolerance but avoidance of the allergen still is the best approach especially if medicines and allergy shots do not help enough. Good luck.
