What can I do to alleviate my symptoms of oral allergies (tightness in throat)?

To alleviate oral allergy symptoms such as throat tightness, it is recommended to limit exposure to allergens. Some tips include using an air conditioner with recirculation mode, engaging in outdoor activities in the afternoon when pollen levels are lower, avoiding outdoor activities on windy and sunny days, washing your body and hair after being outside, and not drying clothes and bedding outdoors. Antihistamines are commonly used to treat allergies, with Claritin being known for causing less drowsiness compared to other options. It is important to start taking them 1 to 2 weeks before allergy season and to take them daily. Feel free to reach out for more information.
