Managing allergies involves identifying triggers and taking steps to minimize exposure and alleviate symptoms.

1. Identify Allergens

Identify allergens that trigger your allergies, such as pollen, dust mites, pet dander, or certain foods.

2. Minimize Exposure

Avoid or minimize exposure to allergens by keeping your living spaces clean, using air purifiers, and wearing masks during high pollen seasons.

3. Medication

4. Allergy Shots

Consider allergy shots (immunotherapy) if recommended by an allergist to build tolerance to specific allergens over time.

5. Lifestyle Adjustments

Make lifestyle adjustments, such as wearing a mask during outdoor activities or avoiding foods that trigger food allergies.
