Im suffering from severe cat allergies, what can i do and still keep a cat?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See an allergist: An allergist can confirm your cat allergy, recommend you bathe the cat weekly, keep the cat out of your bedroom, and other environmental measures. You can take allergy medications (antihistamines, nasal steroid sprays) to alleviate your symptoms. Consider allergy shots to permanently treat your cat allergy. Asthmatics may need a daily inhaler to control symptoms if the cat is a trigger.
