Seasonal allergies can be frustrating — runny nose, itchy eyes, sneezing, and congestion can interrupt your day. Thankfully, several OTC options provide fast relief.

1. Antihistamines

Examples: Loratadine, Cetirizine, Fexofenadine
These reduce sneezing, itching, and runny nose.

2. Nasal Sprays

Saline sprays clean allergens from nasal passages.
Steroid nasal sprays reduce inflammation for long-term relief.

3. Decongestants

Useful for blocked sinuses, but should be used short-term only.

4. Eye Drops

Relieve itchy, watery eyes — especially during pollen season.

5. Avoid Triggers

Keep windows closed during high-pollen days and use an air purifier at home.

Combining lifestyle changes with OTC medicines can dramatically reduce symptoms.
