Treatment for mold induced symptoms
Allergy and exposure symptoms to mold may be treated with:
- Nasal sprays or rinses: Mold allergy-related airway inflammation is lessened by over-the-counter (OTC) nasal corticosteroids like fluticasone (Flonase). You can also get rid of congestion and clean out your nasal passages of mold spores by using a warm, distilled water and saline solution.
- Medicines available over-the-counter: Antihistamines [5] like cetirizine (Zyrtec) and loratadine (Claritin), which inhibit the immune system’s response, help to lessen inflammation of the airways. Decongestants, such as pseudoephedrine (Sudafed), can control allergic reaction-related edema.
- Montelukast (Singulair): This oral drug lowers mucus in your airways, which lessens asthma and mold allergy symptoms.
- Injections for allergies: To gradually acclimate your immune system to allergens, your doctor may advise receiving periodical doses containing trace amounts of the substances.
The easiest approach to stop mold from making your allergies or asthma worse is to avoid it. Treatment can assist in managing your symptoms when you are unable to prevent it.
