A member asked:

I really want a kitten but my mom is allergic. is there something she can take to help with the allergy?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Medicines: Allergy medicine can help reduce the symptoms from animal allergy but often symptoms persist despite treatment. The best approach is avoidance. When that is not possible allergy shots are another option but are not always effective.
