Clearing clogged ears depends on the cause, as congestion can be treated with decongestants and allergies can be treated with antihistamines. Find the right treatment for clogged ears with information from a practicing pediatrician in this free video on ear problems.
Stuffy noses, itchy throats and watery eyes are all common manifestations for people who have allergies to pets. Pet hair and skin cells, also known as dander, cause the histamines in the body to become irritated and react negatively. Using an over-the-counter antihistamine can often relieve allergy symptoms that are caused by our beloved pets.
There are currently many different types of allergy medications on the market. Some can be bought over the counter, and others require a prescription from your doctor. Some contain an antihistamine only, while others add a decongestant. You can take allergy medication once daily or several times a day in a variety of forms. It can be confusing and overwhelming to pick an antihistamine to relieve allergy symptoms. Make this process easier by assessing your symptoms and asking your doctor for suggestions before you choose a medication.
