Avoid what you're allegic to.  If that's not possible.  Take an anti-histamine.  Shower before you go to bed so you're not bringing the allergen into bed with you.  If allergic to your pets keep them out of your room.  You can also get allergy shots.  Have you been tested yet?

Try a allergy pill, an over the counter one that is excellent is DRIXORAL.  This time of year is really bad on allergy sufferers.

I've taken Seldane a couple of times and it was possibly the most potent antihistamine I've ever had.  My methods for allergy relief now are quite different.  I work as a doctor of chiropractic/clinical kinesiologist in a sports chiropractic clinic.  I use a very specific allergy elimination technique that works great as well as get rid of any inflammation in the nervous system and bugs in your gut to assist with allergies of all types.  If I knew what area you lived in I could possibly advise you on where to go/who to see.  In any case, I can't vouch for other doctors' results but two websites may be of interest/help:  see below.  Allergies are nothing more than your brain's inability to recognize certain substances properly and respond properly.  Acupuncture, kinesiology, nutrition, etc...are all good for relieving allergy symptoms and get to the root of the problem.

drugs may help u to interrupt an acute condition, but with allergy the best treatment is to stay away from the allergens. dust, pollen, smoke, cigarettes, and fungi, but also some perfumes, or any funny smell can trigger your allergic reaction.but also many other things (animal hair, feathers, hay,..... etc.). also humidity and hot weather can aggravate the condition. some people take quiet some time to discover the cause of their allergy, but your are your best doctor and you can discover the cause of your allergy by close observation and try to stay away from it (or if unavoidable be exposed to it the shortest time possible).\nalso drinking plenty of plain water, eating healthy food with as much fresh vegetables and fruits can help keep up your system, thus making it stronger to the allergens.\nthe worst time for pollen allergy are May June July...

Good, I see you have been taking him to a Doctor, which would be my first answer.\n\nAnd a second opinion may be in order, has he seen a allergy specialist?\n\nAlso, yes, anti biotics can lose their effectiveness.  And there may be something in the environment that he is particularly sensitive too.\n\nSo book an appointment with an allergist first!! And then take necessary steps to "clean" the environment.  You can't get rid of it if you don't know what it is, which is why I suggest the Doctor FIRST.\n\nGood luck.\n\nPeace.

The first step in controlling hives is to identify the cause, if possible. Once you have identified the source of the problem, try to avoid exposure to it in the future. To relieve itching, apply calamine lotion or a cold compress to the area. \n\nA mild case of hives often disappears on its own after a few hours. A longer-lasting case should respond to the manufacturer's recommended dosage of an over-the-counter oral antihistamine. If your hives don't disappear in a few days, see a doctor. If you develop symptoms of angioedema or anaphylaxis, get medical help immediately. \n\nFor chronic or especially troublesome outbreaks of hives, your doctor will probably order a course of prescription antihistamines. Treatment with oral corticosteroids will sometimes reduce swelling when antihistamines don't work, but they are usually reserved for more severe cases. Ultraviolet light treatments are effective for hives caused by exposure to cold. If you have the subsurface welts of angioedema, you may require hospitalization. \n\nAt-Home Remedies \n\nOne of the best remedies for hives is a soothing bath. Add five or six tablespoons of oatmeal and three tablespoons of cornstarch or sodium bicarbonate to your bathwater. If you are allergic to specific things, such as bee stings or other insect bites, certain foods or medications, ask your doctor about prescribing an emergency kit containing epinephrine (also called adrenaline), which is used to treat the severe or acute hives of anaphylaxis. \n\nCall Your Doctor If: \n\nBurning or itchy welts begin to develop in your throat. You may be at risk of suffocation. \nYou develop hives accompanied by dry throat, cough, cold sweats, nausea, dizziness, difficult breathing, or a sharp drop in blood pressure after an exposure to such things as a bee sting or insect bite or a new medication. This may be a severe allergic reaction known as anaphylaxis. \nYou have recurring bouts of hives lasting a month or more. You may have a chronic condition that needs professional treatment. \nYou develop symptoms of angioedema, particularly in the head and neck. This requires medical attention before the condition spreads to the throat or tongue and blocks the air passage to the lungs. \nYou develop hives after a blood transfusion. You may be having an allergic reaction to donor blood.

You should consider calling or stopping by the local health department and asking them if there are any free clinics around. Some free clinics have specialist's that will donate services to them, but you need a referal from the free clinic. The health department or a county hospital should be helpful in find some free clinics. If you don't have any luck ask your doctor about desensitization treatments. They work by getting small controlled injections of the allergen to make your body build a tollerance to it. Each person is different in how long the treatments will take to get you to stop your allergic response. Good Luck

You can treat them like any other indoor allergies with antihistamines and decongestants but there are also prevention methods.  Reduce the level of humidity in your house.  Run the air conditioning or heat if you live in a humid climate.  Also try to elimate any areas of standing water like leaky pipes, bathroom mold/mildew, houseplants.  Any of these can promote the growth of mold.  If you are trying to kill mold in your home, bleach will usually work.

I used to have the same problem when I was younger, turns out I had really bad allergies. I ended up taking allergy shots. I also had to make a conscious effort to stop though. Nasal spray inhalants may help some.

The underlying cause should be detected and treatment taken.\nDon't smoke and stay away from secondhand smoke. \nIf you have seasonal allergies like hay fever, stay indoors during days when airborne allergens are high. If possible, keep the windows closed and use an air conditioner. Avoid fans that draw in air from outdoors. Shower and change your clothes after being outside. \nIf you have allergies year round, cover your pillows and mattress with dust mite covers, use an air purifier, and avoid pets and other triggers. \nPlease see the webpages for more details on Cough.

Use a clean room humidifier in your home, especially during sleep.  Check to see if you have allergies to certain things like dust, mold, pollen, wheat, dairy products, animals etc.  It may mean avoiding these allergy invoking substances or taking meds that help prevent the allergic symptoms when you can't avoid them.  Drink plenty of water, juices etc to keep your body well hydrated from the inside.  It will help thin secreations in your nose and lungs.\n\nA hot, dry atmosphere is not healthy for the airway system...you can't control the weather outside, but you can control the living conditions in your home.  Do not overheat your home....a cool, moist atmosphere is healthier than hot and/or dry atmosphere.

Depends on the cause. If it is allergies, you can get through it quickly by taking allergy medication or going somewhere that is not exposing you to the allergies. If it is a virus, it depends on the strain. Those just have to run their course.

Hey, I suffer from allergies too!!  Either your doctor can prescribe you an inhaler for your nose which you spray just before you go to bed, or you can try breatheasy strips from over the counter at the chemist. They both work for me!!
