Diagnostic of Domestic Dogs Allergy
Treatment of Domestic Dogs Allergy
Diagnosis and Testing:
- Visit an allergist to undergo skin prick tests or blood tests to identify the specific allergens.
Avoidance Strategies:
- Minimize exposure to the dog by keeping it out of certain rooms, especially the bedroom.
- Utilize high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters to reduce airborne pet dander.
- Bathe and groom the dog regularly to minimize dander.
Medications:
- Use antihistamines and decongestants to alleviate minor symptoms.
- Consider nasal corticosteroids for more severe nasal symptoms.
Allergy Immunotherapy:
- Allergy immunotherapy involves the administration of gradually increasing doses of the allergen through injections or sublingual tablets.
- This method helps the immune system become less sensitive to the allergen over time, potentially leading to long-term relief.
- Typically requires a commitment of several years but can significantly reduce or even eliminate symptoms.
