Antihistamines Antihistamines relieve symptoms of allergic rhinitis by blocking the action of a chemical called histamine, which the body releases when it thinks it's under attack from an allergen.
In particular, antihistamines can cause drowsiness if you drink alcohol while taking them. Corticosteroids If you have frequent or persistent symptoms and you have a nasal blockage or nasal polyps , your GP may recommend a nasal spray or drops containing corticosteroids. Add-on treatments If allergic rhinitis does not respond to treatment, your GP may choose to add to your original treatment.
They may suggest: increasing the dose of your corticosteroid nasal spray using a short-term course of a decongestant nasal spray to take with your other medication combining antihistamine tablets with corticosteroid nasal sprays, and possibly decongestants using a nasal spray that contains a medicine called ipratropium, which will help reduce nasal discharge and make breathing easier using a leukotriene receptor antagonist medication, which blocks the effects of chemicals called leukotrienes that are released during an allergic reaction If you do not respond to the add-on treatments, you may be referred to a specialist for further assessment and treatment.
