Over-the-counter (OTC) allergy medications can be quite effective in managing the symptoms caused by an allergy to Crested Wheatgrass pollen. This includes symptoms such as itchy or watery eyes, runny nose, sneezing, and occasional hives.

Antihistamines are a common go-to OTC medication for these symptoms. These work by blocking the effects of histamines, which are chemicals in your body that cause allergic reactions. Popular antihistamines include Claritin (Loratadine), Zyrtec (Cetirizine), and Allegra (Fexofenadine). They are available in pills, liquid, and nasal spray forms.

Another commonly used OTC medication is a decongestant, like pseudoephedrine (Sudafed), which can provide relief from nasal congestion. Nasal steroids such as Flonase and Nasacort can also be effective in treating allergy symptoms. These sprays work by reducing inflammation in your nostrils, opening up your airways.

Remember, everyone's body is different and response to medications can vary. These OTC medications can occasionally cause side effects like dry mouth, drowsiness, and nausea. If you find your symptoms are not improving or the side effects are too disruptive, it's advisable to consult with a healthcare provider who can recommend a more suitable treatment, such as prescription medications or allergy shots. It's also recommended to monitor pollen levels and limit your exposure during high pollen times, which can help reduce allergic reactions to Crested Wheatgrass pollen.

Why prevention is more effective than allergy medicine

Exposure therapy:
Train your immune system to fight allergies rather than treat them with medications
Desensitization: Symptoms subside as your body desensitized to allergies reducing or eliminating the need for daily medication
Prevention: Immunotherapy helps prevent and fight allergies at the source
