Allergy Treatment

The drug of first choice to prevent allergic reactions, avoidance of the trigger (waiting). Depending on the parental allergy triggers include, for example, the omission of a food, clean up after a dust mite allergy, or change a skin cream. However, the allergens are ubiquitous, is an avoidance is not possible. Pollen allergy, for example, can not release her to go out of their way.
Is abstinence is not completely possible, to help different drugs to prevent or lessen the allergic processes. Depending on the active ingredient is a distinction between topical and systemic medications. Topical medications include eye drops, nasal sprays and asthma sprays. They only act on the part of the body, to which they are applied. Systemic medications such as tablets or injections spread their effects throughout the body.
Different drugs
Antihistamines are relatively widespread. The mostly without a prescription at the pharmacy products are few side effects and effective in their impact. The drugs are known Ceterizin and loratadine.
Cortisone - or more glucocorticoid - is now successfully occur in local form, ie at the point where the symptoms (for example, the respiratory tract) is applied. The effect is very good and the side effects are minimal. In contrast to antihistamines, cortisone-containing preparations are prescription only and apply when Antihistaminka not relieve the symptoms adequately.
DNCG is the abbreviation for Dinatriumcromoglicinsäure. This is a special cell stabilizer that will prevent the outpouring of pro-inflammatory messenger substances (eg histamine). The success of action is considered rather low, so DNCG preparations are hardly used today.
Not result unless the avoidance of drug use and the desired result, can allergies to insect venom, pollen, dust mites, mold, and in exceptional cases, animal dander allergens determine hyposensitization done (desensitization).
Alternative treatments make sense?
In addition to traditional medicine, various classical naturopathic treatments for allergies, asthma and atopic dermatitis are used. They are based on the use of natural resources that have proven successful for a long time and are recognized in scientific medicine. These classical methods are not in opposition to traditional medicine, but can usefully supplement. To classical naturopathic treatments, there are still only few meaningful studies. Only gradually establish these methods in Germany. Meanwhile at university hospitals chairs set up for complementary medicine, so that there be a more reliable data on individual methods that make a simple recommendation.
A proven method for pollen allergies complementary to the relief of symptoms is acupuncture. This was proven in studies.
There is no doubt that some of these classical naturopathy (general methods) can be a valuable complement to traditional medicine. This must be distinguished from other methods, their effectiveness is questionable, and again by those who under the guise of "natural therapies" or "alternative method" border on fraud and merely exploit the gullibility of those affected.
