Another irritating symptom of hay fever is nasal pressure and congestion, which can make it quite difficult to breathe and make your life miserable on a daily basis. You will find most decongestants in pill form as an over-the-counter medication. However, if you have severe congestion reactions, you can see a doctor for a recommendation. Unlike other methods to treat hay fever, decongestants can cause many issues if used with other medications. For example, if you take medication to modify your behavior or emotional well-being, speak with a doctor first. If you have heart disease, high blood pressure, or are pregnant, speak with your doctor before using anti-congestion pills to solve your side effects.

Leukotriene Inhibitors

Leukotriene inhibitors are used to treat allergic reactions associated with hay fever, as well as to treat asthma patients. These inhibitors have become quite popular due to the fact they are an oral medication rather than an inhaled remedy. Patients also prefer this hay fever fighter over inhaled versions because they are far more convenient, and they do not have the known negative associations with the long-term side effects of inhalers. You will require a referral from a doctor for this medication, though it is safe for both children and adults at varying dosages. You might like to know the oral version of these inhibitors is less effective than inhaler versions, though they still work well.
