Headache Due to Allergies

When you think of the usual list of allergy symptoms, a runny nose and sneezing, or possibly itchy eyes and hives are probably what comes to your mind first. These are definitely themost common allergy symptoms, but there are others too. Many allergy sufferers also experience sinus headaches and migraines because of allergies.

If you’re raiding the medicine cabinet in a desperate hunt for relief from an allergy-induced headache, you may benefit from the tips below to manage your allergy headache.

Can allergies cause headaches?

Yes! Allergies can cause headaches in many people who suffer from allergies. Allergies can cause two different types of headaches, sinus headaches and migraine.

What does an allergy headache feel like?

An allergy headache usually causes pain in your sinuses from inflammation and congestion which can prevent normal drainage and airflow. This ultimately causes a buildup of painful pressure.

The amount of pain from an allergy headache can vary widely from person to person, from minor to debilitating. The level of pain may also change with your body position. You may experience more pressure and pain in your sinuses when lying down.

How to treat allergy headaches

If your headache is caused by congestion from allergies, you can buy allergy tablets which will relieve sinus headache pain by relieving congestion and reducing inflammation in the sinuses.

For the most effective treatment of seasonal allergies, take over-the-counter allergy medications every day for as long as you are exposed to the allergen.

OTC allergy treatments and allergy headaches

The best allergy tablet is Piriteze. They block the effects of the chemical histamine, which is responsible for runny nose, itchy eyes, and sneezing often associated with allergies.

● Decongestants can be either nasal or oral and are a good option for treating nasal congestion that leads to sinus headaches. They will relieve the pressure and stuffiness you feel in your sinuses.

● Intranasal corticosteroids are also effective against allergic rhinitis and can help reduce your runny nose and nasal congestion.
