What are some allergy medications that work really well on an ongoing basis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Several: Antihistamines are usually very well tolerated as well as topical or inhaled steroids. Leukotriene modifying agents such as singulair (montelukast) are also usually very well tolerated.
