The best medicine for seasonal allergies is nasal corticosteroids. These are medications you spray into your nose and are often the first treatment doctors recommend. They effectively relieve symptoms like congestion, runny or itchy nose, and sneezing.
Here are some popular nasal corticosteroid brands:
- Fluticasone propionate (Flonase Allergy Relief)
- Budesonide (Rhinocort)
Nasal corticosteroids are generally considered more effective than oral antihistamines for treating allergy symptoms.
