MY Dr ran some tests for allergies and two came back positive Ragweed redtop what do you this?
Ragweed and redtop are both common allergens that can cause hay fever (allergic rhinitis) and related symptoms, such as sneezing, runny nose, congestion, and itchy, watery eyes. In some cases, people with ragweed or redtop allergies may also experience asthma symptoms, such as wheezing, coughing, and shortness of breath.
If you have been diagnosed with ragweed or redtop allergies, there are several things you can do to manage your symptoms, including:
* Avoiding exposure to ragweed and redtop pollen as much as possible. This may mean staying indoors on high pollen days, keeping windows and doors closed, and using a HEPA air filter in your home.
* Taking over-the-counter or prescription allergy medications, such as antihistamines or nasal decongestants, to relieve symptoms.
* Getting allergy shots (immunotherapy) to help desensitize your body to ragweed and redtop pollen.
If your allergy symptoms are severe or do not improve with over-the-counter medications, it is important to see your doctor for further evaluation and treatment.
