First steps to consider
- If you have mild to moderate symptoms, you should try to avoid allergens, like going inside if you have seasonal allergies, or leaving a room with animal dander.
- At-home treatments include OTC antihistamines to reduce your reaction, and decongestants and eye drops to treat symptoms.
- If you’ve been prescribed an “EpiPen” for severe allergies, know when to use it and call 911.
