How to treat mite allergy

Mite allergy is a disease caused by an allergic reaction of the human body to mite excrement, secretions, or fragments of their bodies. The treatment of mite allergy should address the following aspects:

1. Environmental control: promptly eliminate house dust mites to avoid continuous exposure. Inhibit dust mite reproduction by adjusting the temperature and humidity of the environment; cut off the food source of dust mites to reduce their numbers. For example, use dehumidifiers and air conditioners to maintain indoor relative humidity below 50%; avoid keeping pets; reduce the use of carpets, fabric items, and stuffed toys.

2. Medication: use medications under a physician's guidance, such as Loratadine tablets, Levocetirizine Hydrochloride tablets, etc., to relieve discomfort caused by allergies. Topical medications such as Calamine lotion and Hydrocortisone cream can help alleviate symptoms such as skin itching.

3. Immunotherapy: for patients who do not respond well to conventional medication, allergen-specific immunotherapy, also known as desensitization therapy, may be considered. By gradually increasing the dose of mite allergen, the body develops tolerance and allergic reactions are reduced.

4. Healthy lifestyle: maintaining good living habits and enhancing physical immunity can help alleviate symptoms of mite allergy.

During the treatment of mite allergy, patients are advised to combine multiple methods such as environmental control and medication to achieve better therapeutic outcomes.
