What can I do at home to control my respiratory allergy symptoms?

One of the best ways to treat and manage respiratory allergy symptoms is to avoid the allergens that trigger your symptoms. However, since many common allergens are airborne substances like dust mites, they can be found throughout your home and may be difficult to avoid. Keep allergens at bay by regularly dusting your furniture, washing your bedding, and vacuuming the carpets. More permanent steps such as installing special air filters or removing the carpeting in your home can also help reduce your symptoms.
