What are the allergy treatments for people allergic to cats?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Allergy shots: Evaluation by an allergist would be needed and if the allergy was severe enough, shots would likely be recommended.

Several available: Avoidance is the most effective, but that means not having a cat in the house and limiting contact. Antihistamines can help minimize symptoms, but nasal steroid sprays are the most effective. For the best long term control allergy injections are used. An allergist can assist in finding the right medication regimen and determine if a person is a good candidate for allergy shots.
