While there isn't one specific tablet that's universally considered "best" for dust allergies, several over-the-counter antihistamine tablets can effectively alleviate symptoms like itching, sneezing, and runny nose. These include:
- Fexofenadine (Allegra Allergy)
- Loratadine (Alavert, Claritin)
- Cetirizine (Zyrtec)
These medications work by blocking histamine, a chemical released by your body during an allergic reaction.
For more severe cases, your doctor may prescribe a nasal corticosteroid spray, which directly reduces inflammation in the nasal passages.
Additionally, a newer treatment option called sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT), involves placing an allergen extract (like Odactra) under the tongue, offering a potential alternative to allergy shots.
It's crucial to consult with a healthcare professional to determine the best treatment plan based on your individual needs and allergy severity.
