There are several ways to fight allergies quickly. Some common methods include:
- Nasal Irrigation: Rinsing your nasal passages with saline solution (nasal irrigation) can effectively relieve congestion. This method is a quick, inexpensive, and effective way to flush out allergens.
- Antihistamine Eye Drops: For allergy-related eye swelling, using antihistamine eye drops can provide fast relief.
- Cold Compress: Applying a cold compress to the eyes can help reduce swelling quickly.
- Over-the-counter Medications: Oral antihistamines like loratadine and cetirizine can help alleviate allergy symptoms. Decongestants like pseudoephedrine and oxymetazoline can also be helpful, but avoid using them for more than 3-4 days without consulting a doctor.
- Saline Sprays: Over-the-counter saltwater nasal sprays can flush out your nasal passages, helping to clear out pollen and other irritants.
Remember to consult your doctor if your allergy symptoms are severe or persistent.
