Treating an allergy consists in tackling both its symptoms and its cause.

Of course, the first measure to be taken is to try to avoid exposure to the allergen: if the allergen is never encountered, the symptoms will never be triggered.

In order to relieve the symptoms, certain medicines have shown their efficacy.

To deal with the immune dysfunction that result in an allergy, desensitisation therapy is the only treatment of the allergy's cause.
