What are the best over-the-counter and/or folk remedies for face allergies?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Antihistamines: The best over the counter medications for allergies are antihistamines. These come in both sedating and non-sedating forms. I recommend claritin, (loratadine) allegra, and zyrtec (or their generic versions) most often. Some "folk remedies" might be very helpful, but their doses are often quite variable and they might not offer consistent relief.
