Allergies: First and foremost, get in to see an allergist to find out what you are allergic to. Over the counter allergy medications are never very effective although it is a multi-billion dollar industry that the american public believes helps based on the lies of commercials. See your allergist, find out what you are allergic to, and come up with a good plan of action to avoid and treat.

Self treat allergies: Avoidance is first. There are multiple otc antihistamines that can help sneezing and itching, other nasal, chest, gi, and skin symptoms require prescription medication. If these do not give adequate control, are not tolerated, or there are more severe or concurrent diseases see a board certified allergist.
