Self-improvement. Some people with allergic disease caused by airborne allergens improve by themselves. This can happen for a few reasons:
-
They relocate to an area where the allergen(s) causing their illness is not found.
-
Their tolerance to the allergen(s) increases through activation of normal, protective immunologic mechanisms.
Interventions. There are several approaches for controlling allergy by reducing or eliminating symptoms:
-
Avoiding the offending allergen.
-
Taking medications, either prescribed or over-the-counter, which counteract the reaction and reduce or eliminate the symptoms.
-
Being immunized against allergens to which you are allergic with allergy injection therapy. Although this is extremely helpful for certain people, this form of therapy is usually reserved for more severe cases or for persons in whom other forms of treatment have not been successful.
