You need to take allergy medications daily
While you might think you only need allergy medicines when you’re having symptoms, newer medicines are designed to be used daily for prevention. “Most allergy medications work best when taken daily, and now there are a number of great options available over the counter without a doctor’s prescription,” Dr Engler says.
Try multiple types until you find the one that works best for you. “Many allergy sufferers make the mistake of thinking that if you’ve tried one, you’ve tried them all. Fortunately, that’s usually not the case. However, make sure you are really trying a new medication by checking the active ingredients – two brand-name products may contain the same active ingredient so read the labels carefully.”
