What is the best medication for severe seasonal outdoor allergies?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
SAR treatment option: Newer oral antihistamines give some relief of itching and sneezing, but less for the congestion and runny nose. Topical nasal steroids are more effective, but require a prescription. Avoidance is of very limited benefit. The most effective and only disease modifying treatment is allergen immunotherapy best under the direction of a board certiified allergist.
